Look up: NSScreenSaverWindowLevel
I think you need to promote your dialog to the same level as the screen
saver and then order it front.
[window setLevel: NSScreenSaverWindowLevel];
[window orderFront: nil];
As far as I can tell from the documentation orderWindow: relatvieTo: is
for ordering a window relative to another window, not a windowing
level.

Hi All:
I've got a dialog that is to be displayed after the screensaver is
dismissed (and the screen is still black).
My dialog is there as my logging records all events that are sent to
the dialog.
I thought that showing the window above the screensaver layer would be
enough (ala:
- (void)showLoginWindowAboveSS
{
trace.stream() << "Trying to make window above NSScreenSaver" <<
endl;
[window_ orderWindow:NSWindowBelow
relativeTo:NSScreenSaverWindowLevel];
// [window_ orderFrontRegardless];
trace.stream() << "*** Window is at: " << window_ << endl;
}
And as you can see, I tried orderFrontRegardless.
And the dialog is 'managed' by:
NSModalSession modalSession = [NSApp
beginModalSessionForWindow:lWindow];
int modalResult;
do
{
modalResult = [NSApp runModalSession:modalSession];
if (modalResult == NSOKButton)
{
[NSApp abortModal];
[NSApp endModalSession:modalSession];
}
} while (modalResult == NSRunContinuesResponse);
Anyway, I must be missing a small peice of information. How do I get
my dialog 'punched through' the screensaver?
Thanks in advance for your time
