Why would makeKeyAndOrderFront not be activating the application?

• Dan Wood Why would makeKeyAndOrderFront not be activating the application? Jan 05 2002, 14:00
  Hi,
  
  I have a dock menu that is supposed to do something and then
  activate my application, bringing its window(s) to front.  I'm
  calling [NSApp arrangeInFront:] and I'm calling [NSWindow
  makeKeyAndOrderFront:]
  
  So the application windows are coming to the front layer, but
  the actual frontmost window is not activated -- in other words,
  it is behaving as if it is behind other windows, with a
  translucent title bar and gray title bar controls.
  
  My guess is that this is happening because the application was
  not the frontmost, so I'm missing one more call to handle this.
  Any suggestions?
  
  Dan

  I used the following line of code to bring my app to the front and
  activate it:
  
  [NSApp activateIgnoringOtherApps:YES];
  
  It seems to work for me.
