use the isEqual: method to compare two object.
Thanks to everyone who chimed in .. and here are my changes:
BOOL ExcelActive = NO;
NSWorkspace *workSpace;
NSArray *runningAppDictionaries;
NSDictionary *aDictionary;
workSpace = [NSWorkspace sharedWorkspace];
runningAppDictionaries = [workSpace launchedApplications];
for (aDictionary in runningAppDictionaries) {
if ([[aDictionary valueForKey:@"NSApplicationName"]
isEqualToString:@"Microsoft Excel"]) {
ExcelActive = YES;
break;
}
}
return ExcelActive;
Same NO return value.
I then tried this variation, with the same NO return value:
NSArray *applArray;
applArray = [[[[NSWorkspace sharedWorkspace] launchedApplications]
filteredArrayUsingPredicate:[NSPredicate
predicateWithFormat:
@"%K contains %@", @"NSApplicationName",
@"Microsoft Excel"]]
valueForKey:@"NSApplicationName"];
if ([applArray count] > 0) return YES;
else return NO;
One footnote .. there are problems with Microsoft Excel as reported by
HAS of appscript. He points out difficulties with Excel, in
particular, with respect to Excel documents. Don't know about the app-
level.
