Question

I need to launch my application without windows, but when an error occurs I need to display the error in a window. My problem is that I can’t make my window as first responder, so the windows buttons aren’t working because the window is not in focus.
I created a window and its controller. The button have the action defined.
Any ideas?
This is my source code:

@interface ErrorWindow : NSWindowController {
    IBOutlet NSImageView *_imageView;
    IBOutlet NSTextField *_message_text;
    IBOutlet NSTextField *_informative_text;
    IBOutlet NSWindow *_errorWindow;

}

- (IBAction)closeWindowAction:(id)sender;

In my implementation:

- (void)awakeFromNib {

    [_errorWindow makeKeyAndOrderFront:self];
    [NSApp activateIgnoringOtherApps:YES];
}

Maybe the problem is that you are calling [NSApp activateIgnoringOtherApps:YES]; after displaying the window. Have you tried reversing the order?
