Possible for /wiki to not give up foreground?
codechemist.7280:
I suspect the answer is “no” but wanted to check. My friend had an idea that it would be cool to use the /wiki command but have it load in an expandable overlay window (on OS X) instead of switching out to your browser.
I have written a special browser app that can act as an overlay for Guild Wars 2. I have it working so that when you type “/wiki <query>” it will load the web page in my app which is currently overlaying the game. All of that is working.
But Guild Wars still relinquishes its foreground status. I wonder if there is a way to have Guild Wars send the Apple Event to the browser without relinquishing its foreground status. Is there a config file somewhere with this (admittedly wishful thinking) setting? Or is it hard coded into the client?
Thanks!

Hmm… I suspect this might be a function of the LaunchServices method the game calls, and not something the game does explicitly.

Hmm… I’m not sure, but isn’t the Mac client using some sort of version of Wine or something similar? At least, that’s what I was told by someone who actually owns a Mac (I don’t). If this is true, I think it’s impossible for ArenaNet to do something like that, since this requires native calls to OSX while GW2 is effectively running in a “simulated” Windows environment on OSX.
GW2 on OSX suffers the same problem with the Mumble Link API iirc.
