How to bring windows to front in xCode? #18

Open Jimw338 opened 3 years ago

Jimw338 commented 3 years ago

I can compile the test file fine in xCode (12, on Big Sur 11.1), and will run correctly if I run the completed project in the Finder or terminal, but if I run it in xCode, it won't display on top of the xCode window. Is there a way to force the window to the front? "makeKeyAndOrderFront" isn't a method of "NSAlert" (why isn't NSAlert a subclass of NSWindow?), nor did calling "[[NSRunningApplication currentApplication] activateWithOptions: NSApplicationActivateIgnoringOtherApps];" work.

Ideas?

NSAlerts definitely behave strangely when launched from Terminal. I don't personally use osdialog in terminal applications, but if you can figure out how to make osdialog_message and osdialog_prompt open the alerts on top of other windows, let me know on this issue or a PR.
