Re: Moving to Cocoa

I'm going to start looking into what it will take to move our window/control code from Carbon to Cocoa.

I should also mention that our app is still using WaitNextEvent for the main event loop. Work has been done to move to RunApplicationEventLoop, but is not quite done. Our Mac framework loads proprietary resources to create windows and controls. It was written long before Carbon, then Carbonized, then moved to using real controls where possible or custom HIView subclasses where needed. But there is still a lot of our own window handling code in place, which causes problems when I try using RAEL and/or compositing windows. It's sounding more and more like Carbon *will* die in the future, and as much as I can't stand Obj-C, and Apple's development goals seem to be driven by the NeXT politics, etc etc. So, I guess I need to get started now - 100 windows, palettes, and dialogs aren't gonna convert themselves.
