What's the proper way of creating a temporary NSWindow from a Carbon window?

What's the proper way of creating a temporary NSWindow from a Carbon window?


  • Subject: What's the proper way of creating a temporary NSWindow from a Carbon window?
  • From: Jonathan del Strother <email@hidden>

My iTunes plugin needs a list of supported resolutions from the screen that the iTunes window is on.
It's doing this by creating an NSWindow using initWithWindowRef.


NSWindow* iTunesWindow = [[NSWindow alloc] initWithWindowRef:FrontWindow()];

Once this code is executed, clicking the close button no longer has any effect.
So, I'd like to release NSWindow's hold on the Carbon windowRef. However, releasing the NSWindow appears to destroy the carbon window...this code:



NSWindow* iTunesWindow = [[NSWindow alloc] initWithWindowRef:FrontWindow()];
[iTunesWindow release];


results in the crash I've pasted below.


Is this expected behavior? Is there any way around it?

Any help would be appreciated.  I'm getting nowhere on this...

Jon
