Hi,

What is the problem that you're really trying to solve here? Why do you need to find a window behind the key window that's not the main window? I suspect that we will be able to give you a better answer if we can understand what you're really trying to do.

As an example, your real problem might not be that you need the ability to find a non-main window, but rather that the window you're trying to find *should* be main, but isn't. It's important to identify the correct problem to solve before attempting to find a solution.

Hi,

I'd like to know how to get the most front window below a key window (e.g.Find dialog).


I've tried the following things but failed.

1. call currentDocument of the sharedDocumentController and tried to get the window from the document.
But the document returned by currentDocument was nil.


2. call mainWindow of the sharedApplication. But the return object was nil.


Thanks in advance. Norio Ota
