So far so good.
Have you tried implementing this with a NSPanel? It’s designed (when configured with suitable options) to float over other windows — though not a *specific* other window. It doesn’t take “main” status away from other windows, and takes “key” status away only when firstResponder is actually in one of its views (again when configured that way). _______________________________________________ Cocoa-dev mailing list (Cocoa-dev@lists.apple.com) Please do not post admin requests or moderator comments to the list.
