If you don't have the ability to figure out everything you need on
your own, then please refrain from polluting the mailing list with
attacks on people who want to help you. Andrew specifically did *not*
say you were wrong, and he asked a polite question. Nobody has all
the answers. If you did, you wouldn't have come to this list for help.
You can create a window with no title bar without instantiating it in
code. Create a subclass of NSWindow, override the default
initializer, set the class of your window in IB to be this subclass.

What I am doing is definitely not "wrong".
My application is a kiosk application, I put up shielding windows on
all
attached monitors, and I enter kiosk mode. I then have a totally black
display with a single window - mine - which is the size of the main
display but which I want to be immovable.
I suggest you familiarize yourself with OS X's kiosk mode and Core
Graphics' shielding windows before you go telling people they are
"wrong".
What I am doing is no more "wrong" than a game developer taking over
the
display.
In fact, you're a time-waster because instead of helping people, all
you
can do is tell them "you're wrong" without providing any kind of
solution (and without even knowing what you are talking about).
If you don't have the ability to help people, then please refrain
from polluting the mailing lists with time-wasting nonsense.

Hi, Mike,
Unfortunately, I'm not sure as to the exact answer to your
question. Do bear in mind, however, that -- even if there is a way
-- you'll have to take into account that the user might very well
switch Spaces, rendering your window no longer visible. While I
won't tell you right-off-the-bat that what you're doing is wrong,
as you probably have a good reason for doing what you ask, may I
enquire: what exactly are you attempting to do? Helping everyone
to understand your situation might help everyone in helping you. :)
Best,
Andrew

Is there any way to prevent a Cocoa window from being dragged
while it is onscreen?
Thanks,
