I'm looking for the process that was front before my application became front. I was thinking in getting the process as this is what I did in my menubar applications and I just stole code from them. I can do as Dave DeLong said and hide the application using [[NSApplication sharedApplication] hide:self]; and it does infact brings the finder to the front. This is an option with this application as I don't open any other window than the one when you open the application from the finder. But with other applications, it's not an option as there may be multiple windows for that one application open and when you hide, it will also hide the other windows they had open. I would be wondering how I can get the last front application (kinda how the dock does) so if I need to write an application in the future that needs multiple windows and also needs to be a UIAgent it would do the proper thing. I don't need to know this now, if it's not possible than fine, but if anyone out there knows how and wants to share, please do.
