List Running apps and windows
I want to list all the running apps and their windows. Running apps is easy with [ws launchedApplications] but I cant find a way for listing their windows. I have tried NSWindowList(win_count,arr_win) but then [[NSApplication sharedApplication] windowWithWindowNumber:arr_win[i]] in a bucle will give me no info on windows from other apps. Can anyone help?

Re: List Running apps and windows
PD: I have tried the UIElementInspector code and it also says that the
App is not trusted, but it succeeds in geting other apps info. Instead
when I run
AXUIElementRef ref=AXUIElementCreateApplication(pid);
AXUIElementCopyAttributeNames(ref, (CFArrayRef *)&theNames);
theNames is empty.
Why is this happening?

Re: List Running apps and windows
I have implemented this code:
if(!AXAPIEnabled ())
{
NSLog(@"API not enabled");
return;
}
if(!AXIsProcessTrusted ())
{
NSLog(@"PROCESS not trusted");
}
And it enters the second if, so my app is not trusted. I have tried using
AXMakeProcessTrusted((CFStringRef)path);
But it wont do anything, no matter if I relaunch or not.
Guesses?

Re: List Running apps and windows
You need 10.4 support ?
The SonOfGrab sample is able to list all windows without AXAPI !

Each application has its own private address space, so including
another
app's windows in your app's window list doesn't make sense. The
only way to
find out about other app's windows is to have the user enable
accessibility
in System Preferences. This has already been discussed in detail
here and on
other lists. You might try doing a search to see what's already
been said.
In fact, this is no longer true on Leopard. Window are always in
there own
space, but you can list all windows and even create image for each
window on
screen.

You need to be running as root to call AXMakeProcessTrusted().
I wrote a post on my blog with some code to do that: http://caffeinatedcocoa.com/blog/?p=12

Re: List Running apps and windows
Well, finally solved. No need for AXIsProcessTrusted. The problem is
that the data stored in the NSArray was comming from an CFArray and
was not printed with NSLog. But it was there.
I want to use the info to do something like witch.
Thanks a lot for your tips.
I'll post some code latter if someone ask for it. There are lots of
info to make and application accesible but no info to make an
assistive app.
