TransitionWindow is not tested or qualified on NSWindows. It may
happen to work in certain instances, but there's currently no
intention that it should.
So is there a list of the safe and unsafe functions for such
WindowRefs? (Just the safe list would be fine, since I guess
everything else should be considered unsafe).
Do you mean, safe and unsafe APIs other than TransitionWindow? I
don't have such a list myself. It's possible that someone else in
AppKit-land may have one, but I'm not sure anyone has gone through
and exhaustively tested the Window Manager on AppKit-generated
windows. In general, it's best to use the API the corresponds to
the "true nature" of the window; if it's really an AppKit window,
use NSWindow APIs, and if it's really a Carbon window, use Window
Manager APIs.
I think the question is more along the lines of, is there a list of
Carbon functions that Apple tests to ensure that they work when
passed a [nsWindow windowRef]?
Your original post said something along the lines of "Apple doesn't
test NSWindow transitions with TransitionWindow"... well, which parts
do get tested? Surely some APIs must be guaranteed to work when
passed a [nsWindow windowRef]... otherwise the API would be a bit too
scary to use ;)
