Hello!
I am trying to create a two-level window hierarchy in my application
- normal windows and top-level windows. I do not want to have floating
panels, because that works on a system level. I want to have hierarchy
just within my application. So I thought I would achieve that with
window groups. But nothing happens - windows from normal level, when
clicked, move in front of top level windows...
The WindowGroup API only works in Carbon applications; it doesn't work
in Cocoa apps. The implementation requires that the Carbon Window
Manager be in control of window z-ordering, so that it can properly
position a window considering its window group relative to other
windows. In a Cocoa app, the Carbon Window Manager is not running.
