Not too sure of that one. I'm making an app that comes up to status
window level when it gets an update - while I was watching a DVD the
other day, it popped up in front of it (heh, forgot to quit it). So I'm
pretty interested in this one too!
But I can say the DVD player is pretty robust, it didn't miss a beat
when the window popped up in front of it then went back behind it two
secs later - just kept going as if nothing had happened with no
frameskips/audio glitches.

Most apps will do this anyways. When you put up the guard window to
grab the whole screen, other stuff
can't go above it, even status level windows. Quake3 does this, and
it's a textbook example of that
sort of game, so it should be automatic.
If an app isn't grabbing the whole screen properly, that's a different
story entirely.
DVD Player in fullscreen mode seems to shield the display correctly, as
does the iTunes visualizer, at least
in my setup.

Hi,
My application is always in front, but I would like to hide it when an
application which needs all the screen like DVD Player or a game is
launched.
Is there a way to know that ?
Thanks.
Thierry
