orderWindow problem


  • Subject: orderWindow problem

In my application, there are 3 windows associated with each document. When any one of them is brought to the front, I would like the other 2 to come to the front, as well, right behind the one that was clicked on. What I've done is to write a notification handler for each of the windows that attempts to put the other 2 windows immediately below itself by using -orderWindow:relativeTo:. It looks like this:

NSWindow* theWin = [ notification object ];
int winNum = [ theWin windowNumber ];

if (winNum != 0) {
[ otherWindow1 orderWindow:NSWindowBelow relativeTo:winNum ];
[ otherWindow2 orderWindow:NSWindowBelow relativeTo:winNum ];
}

However, upon startup, this actually puts otherWindow1 and otherWindow2 behind *all other windows on screen*. If I click on the application's icon in the doc, the windows then perform as expected. But until I do that, calling [ someWindow orderWindow:NSWindowBelow relativeTo:newFrontWindowNum ], sends "someWindow" to the very back.

Am I just misunderstanding how -orderWindow:relativeTo: works? Or is this a bug in the OS or some other problem with my code?

Thanks,
Darrin
