Bringing window to front at launch.

adcx64 · Jun 2, 2011, 08:16 PM

Hi,
I have a window in my application. I want it to pop up in front of my main app, like a welcome screen. there is nothing in the Inspector that lets me have the window in front. How do I go about doing this?

Code:

[window makeKeyAndOrderFront:nil];

Try doing it from applicationDidFinishLaunching: in your app delegate.

You need to learn Objective-C.
