In Panther, though, the OS actually made a special case for some window-list calls to exclude the menubar from the list, because some third-party apps made invalid assumptions about the topmost window. At that time, I believe Apple did mention that these special cases were temporary measures and that you should update your code to never make assumptions about the first entry in the window list.
No, actually, Tiger is the first OS release to put the menubar in the window list. Panther did not use a WindowRef for the menubar.
Heh, I stand corrected! :) I guess it's been so long since Tiger was announced, I got mixed up. Thanks for setting it straight, Eric. Maybe I was thinking about the first Tiger seed?? |
