Worth a try but I have a feeling even this wouldn't be enough, because the popover's window could still become key window even if no view within accepts first responder. I suspect this is why it didn't help to have the NSPopover object refuse first responder. It would be nice if there were a way to get the popover's window to refuse first responder. I fiddled briefly with Apple's NSPopover sample app and haven't found a way yet to do this. Unfortunately, the window is an instance of a private class (_NSPopoverWindow), which means you don't get a chance to subclass it and override canBecomeKeyWindow. The opacity of NSPopover is very reminiscent of NSDrawer. --Andy > > File a bug asking for something like -becomesKeyOnlyIfNeeded on NSPopover. > The API is currently too limited. > > --Graham > > > _______________________________________________ > > Cocoa-dev mailing list (Cocoa-dev@lists.apple.com) > > Please do not post admin requests or moderator comments to the list. > Contact the moderators at cocoa-dev-admins(at)lists.apple.com > > Help/Unsubscribe/Update your Subscription: > https://lists.apple.com/mailman/options/cocoa-dev/aglee%40mac.com > > This email sent to ag...@mac.com _______________________________________________ Cocoa-dev mailing list (Cocoa-dev@lists.apple.com) Please do not post admin requests or moderator comments to the list.
