Hi Jaime,

The application is Palm's HotSync manager. The plug-in is a Mach- O bundle that does the appropriate magic to hook up the API.

My window is in a Nib in the plug-in bundle and is controlled by a subclass of NSWindowController.

  I'm having the following problems:

1. The window behind mine (owned by HotSync) doesn't get updates while mine is open.

Probably HotSync Manager is a WaitNextEvent-based app, and if you're using [NSApplication runModalForWindow] to run your dialog, then the HotSync Manager event loop is not running and isn't getting a chance to receive EventRecords.


The only way to fix this would be to leave HotSync Manager's event loop in control. That means you can't call runModalForWindow; you need to just create your window and then return control back to the app. This might just work for free. You might also need to call [NSWindow windowRef] to get the WindowRef for the modal dialog and set its modality to kWindowModalityAppModal explicitly with the SetWindowModality Carbon API.

2. When I close the HotSync window after closing mine the HotSync window just goes to the back and will never return to the front.

No idea offhand what's happening there.
