Is it possible to bring window to front without taking focus?

I am working on an application for my personal usage that will remind me of stuff at regular intervals and/or will require text entry. Hence this popup window has an NSTextField.

If the window pop's up when I am in the middle of typing, my typing transfers to the popup window which is very annoying! Is there any way to stop this, currently I am using:

[NSApp activateIgnoringOtherApps:YES];
[hudWindow makeKeyAndOrderFront:nil];

I have also tried:

[NSApp activateIgnoringOtherApps:YES];
[hudWindow orderFrontRegardless];

Is there any other wa开发者_如何转开发y to do it?

[hudWindow orderFront: nil];

Moves the window to the front of its level in the screen list, without changing either the key window or the main window.

Did you try using setLevel:? Setting it to one of the higher levels should do the trick.

like

[hudWindow setLevel:NSFloatingWindowLevel];
