Joar, thanks for your quick response.
What I want to do is to search text from the window just below
"Find..." dialog, like almost every text editor do.
My app opens a window which doesn't have text input field at launch
time. The window just displays something.
Then open a document by selecting Open... from File menu. So you can
open several windows. I thought they were main windows.
And open Find.. window and when you press Find button on the window,
text is being searched from the document of the window just below the
Find window.
With these steps, currentDocument and mainWindow return nil as I told
in the previous mail.
Who sets a window to main window? I went to see the inspector window
of the window in IB but I couldn't get.
I wish I could explain more clearly.

Hi,
What is the problem that you're really trying to solve here? Why do
you need to find a window behind the key window that's not the main
window? I suspect that we will be able to give you a better answer
if we can understand what you're really trying to do.
As an example, your real problem might not be that you need the
ability to find a non-main window, but rather that the window you're
trying to find *should* be main, but isn't. It's important to
identify the correct problem to solve before attempting to find a
solution.

Hi,
I'd like to know how to get the most front window below a key
window (e.g.Find dialog).
I've tried the following things but failed.
1. call currentDocument of the sharedDocumentController and tried
to get the window from the document.
But the document returned by currentDocument was nil.
2. call mainWindow of the sharedApplication. But the return object
was nil.
Thanks in advance.
