Are you looking for the Window Programming Guide for Cocoa? http://developer.apple.com/library/mac/#documentation/Cocoa/Conceptual/WinPanel/WinPanel.html In particular, the page How a Window Is Displayed: http://developer.apple.com/library/mac/#documentation/Cocoa/Conceptual/WinPanel/Concepts/HowWindowIsDisplayed.html Regards, Ken _______________________________________________ Cocoa-dev mailing list (Cocoa-dev@lists.apple.com) Please do not post admin requests or moderator comments to the list.
