See NSWindow Constants
file:///Developer/ADC Reference Library/documentation/Cocoa/Reference/ApplicationKit/ObjC_classic/Classes/NSWindow.html#//apple_ref/doc/uid/20000013-89097-BCIGAIJC

Specifically the following is worth noting...
<snip>
These constants specify the window’s level. The stacking of levels takes precedence over the stacking of windows within each level. That is, even the bottom window in a level will obscure even the top window of the next level down. Levels are listed in order from lowest to highest. These constants are mapped (using #define) to corresponding elements in the window level enum in Core Graphics.

In carbon I can create a systemwide floating window of class kUtilityWindowClass.  This window floats on top of all other application windows.  In Cocoa, a panel set as a "non activating Panel" is the closest I could find, except that it does not float above all other application windows.  Is there a way to have a panel act as a systemwide floating window so that it floats above all other application windows, just as the Carbon kUtilityWindowClass does?  If so, how?

Thanks!

Bill
