makeKeyAndOrderFront
is not making my NSWindow key or front.
My app does not have a main window or menubar, which may be part of the problem?
IBOutlet NSWindow *loginWindow;
//(connected in Interface Builder to the NSWindow)
The NSWindow has "visible at launch" and "release when closed" both unchecked.
Then:
- (void) applicationDidFinishLaunching:(NSNotification *)aNotification
{
[loginWindow makeKeyAndOrderFront:self];
}
This does open the window. (commenting it out results in no window being opened).
However:
-
It appears behind the Xcode window (not front).
-
It appears to recieve mouse focus, but will not take keypresses in the textfields the window contains. The keypresses are sent to Xcode.
-
It appears in the Expose grid when Expose is activated. But I cannot click the window to select it in Expose… it won't come to the front.
Why isn't my Window working?

Try calling this method
[NSApp activateIgnoringOtherApps:YES];
. This should make it the active application.
