Pushing a window into focus

I'm developing a small menubar application and I want to display the settings window when the corresponding NSMenuItem is pressed.

I currently have the following IBAction assigned to the menu item:

@IBAction func settingsButtonPressed(sender: NSMenuItem) {
    settingsView.makeKeyAndOrderFront(sender)
}

This displays the window, but doesn't push it into focus, so it's displayed behind the currently active window, which is not the behaviour I'm looking for.

I had a suspicion that this might have been due to the fact that the Application is agent target property is set to YES, but this actually has no effect on the outcome.

Could there be anything to be done with the window in the XIB file?

Probably your app is not the active app. It should work to call [NSApp activateIgnoringOtherApps:YES] in addition to making the window key and ordering it front.
