Actually, what you want is a different window mask. The window mask you want during initialization is:

styleMask:(NSBorderlessWindowMask | NSNonactivatingPanelMask)


-- m-s

I've found the solution by overriding - shouldDelayWindowOrderingForEvent.

I've overridden

- (BOOL)canBecomeKeyWindow
- (BOOL)canBecomeMainWindow
- (BOOL)acceptsFirstResponder

so far, all returning NO. That prevents the window from becoming active, but my application still becomes active.

To also add a bit more info on why I need this behaviour:
My application becoming active is a problem as a press in my custom view will - among other things - emulate keyboard events that have to go to the currently active app (i.e. to enter text), not my app.


Best regards,

Can you override NSWindows - (BOOL)canBecomeMainWindow method and return NO?

The best time to add insult to injury is when you are signing someones cast.

Hi there!

I've a borderless NSWindow containing a custom NSView that provides
tools to other applications. Now to the problem:

A click in my borderless window's custom NSView should get handled by
the NSView via standard -mouseUp:/-mouseDown: selectors but *without*
my application and its windows becoming active at all.


How can I achieve this?

Thanks in advance for any help!

Best regards,
Felix
