It is possible to set a window to this level (eg Konfabulator can be set to have a window like this). I don't think it's an official window level, but I think it's something like NSDockWindowLevel.

Secondly, look at -canBecomeKeyWindow and -canBecomeMainWindow in the NSWindow documentation. I think a window that can't become key or main cannot be selected, though I may be mistaken.

Thirdly, analyse your need for this. A window that you can click right through has very limited uses, but I can think of some...

Hi,

I have a window A flowing on top of the screen which I want to not
only completely ignore certain mouse events, but to pass them on
to whatever other window B is below that window A, where B is most
likely controlled by another application. Is that possible at all?

Thanks,

Dinu
