About box with Application is agent (UIElement) set to YES?

Im trying to create a application that should only be visible in the status bar, and not have a window until you press the NSStatusItem menu options. So i have one that should open "about"

[[NSApplication sharedApplication] orderFrontStandardAboutPanel:self];

But nothing shows if I have the Application is agent set to YES. If I change it to NO it works, but I get a application window and all the menu options that i don't want to see.

Any ideas?

Kind regards

Solution

  • Started a new application a few days ago and i figured it out.

    [NSApp activateIgnoringOtherApps:YES]

    Does the trick!
