When the frontmost regular window is closed, the next window of that app is made frontmost. Sounds like you need a floating/utility window of some flavor. -- Scott Ribe scott_r...@elevated-dev.com http://www.elevated-dev.com/ (303) 722-0567 voice ___ Cocoa-dev mailing list (Cocoa-dev@lists.apple.com) Please do not post admin requests or moderator comments to the list.

For what it's worth, that new method is simply the Cocoa equivalent of SetFrontProcessWithOptions with kSetFrontProcessFrontWindowOnly. So, you can use the latter for 10.5 compatibility.

Activate app but bring only *one* window to the front
• App is running with several windows open but is not frontmost. • It receives an interapplication message which requires that a new window be opened and brought to the front. -[NSApplication activateIgnoringOtherApps:] brings *all* of app's windows to the front. How can I activate this app but bring *only* the new window to the front? Other windows should remain at their current order.
