I have an NSWindow and a utility NSPanel in my application (both
awakened from the main nib at launch time), along with a companion nib
which creates an NSWindow (not the document architecture though)
several times throughout execution. What I need is for the utility
NSPanel to take the Carbon behavior of palette windows and be always
activated and always receiving keystrokes. I've tried overriding the
NSWindows so that canBecomeKeyWindow: returns NO, but that while that
gives the utility window the correct status, it makes all the other
windows permanantly look deactivated. I need the top NSWindow among
them to Look active even though it's not receiving keystrokes. I've
played around with canBecomeKeyWindow: and canBecomeMainWindow: alot,
and I'm beginning to think I'm going to have to sabotage the elegance
of Cocoa's event handling by dealing with activation and key events
myself, at a level that would approach the old pre-Carbon WNE days.
Someone please tell me a better solution!
