Agreed. In fact I just figured that one out.. all I needed to do was
to call
[super mouseEntered:nil];
from my ScreenSaverView implementation & the saver can signal to quit.
Only problem now is that when the saver signals to self-quit & the
password-lock is enabled, the saver doesn't quit & it keeps that dang
white screen floating in front of my slammin' saver.
I can't figure out how to draw above that damn curtain!
Is there a way to get a Carbon window to raise above the screensaver window
when it is saving? My saver is Carbon/CFM & I highly doubt I can port it
easily to Cocoa.
Or, can I get a CGrafPtr to the NSView? I could send that via the
AppleEvent
to my Carbon saver & the Carbon saver could draw on that. Possible?
Or, can my Cocoa saver create an NSWindow above itself & then get a CGrafPtr
to it & load my CFM saver like a bundle, passing in that CGrafPtr?
So much to experiment with & all I have is a slowpoke G3 400Mhz ibook.
Thanks very much-
Matt

This likely wouldn't be very popular with folks who use the screensaver
