Hi list,
i'm using a NSDrawer attached to a NSFloatingWindowLevel window. This window is put at 99% out of the screen. There is a smal portion of the window which is visible at the screen edge (a small white line). This way i detect when a mouse cursor enter the main window and i open the drawer. For the user it seems like the drawer is poping out of the screen edge.
By the way, you can try my app at: http://www.chatelp.org/sidenote_v1_0.sit
My problem is: if the user activate Exposé (F9) when the drawer is open, it loses its position -> when coming back from Exposé mode, the drawer is no more attached to its parent window and can appear anywhere on your screen.
I had already noticed this behavior when working with other NSDrawer-using applications (like Mail for instance) but not systematically !
Does someone here has a clue about that ?
The NSWindow instance is associated to the drawer using InterfaceBuilder (via the parentWindow outlet).
This is the code i'm using in my NSWindow subclass:
-() awakeFromNib {
//get defaults
NSUserDefaults *defaults = [NSUserDefaults standardUserDefaults];
edge = [[defaults objectForKey:UNSAscreenEdge] intValue];
//change border and position
SpecialWindow *borderlessWindow = ;
NSView *oldView = [borderlessWindow contentView];
borderlessWindow = [ borderlessWindow initWithContentRect: [ getContentRect:edge]
styleMask: NSBorderlessWindowMask
backing: NSBackingStoreBuffered
defer: ];
[borderlessWindow setContentView:oldView ];
[borderlessWindow setLevel:NSFloatingWindowLevel];
[borderlessWindow changeWindowHeight:[[defaults objectForKey:UNSAdrawerHeight] floatValue]];
}
PS: It would seem that I had found a bug with NSTextView used inside NSDrawer in my previous post ( http://www.cocoabuilder.com/archive/message/cocoa/2005/3/30/131788 ). It has been submitted to apple as recomendend here, but I still did not have an answer. The bug was manually "solved" by pre-opening a unused NSTextView outside of the drawer. Odd !!
