Okay. I'll just accept that using multiple windows is the best way to handle this situation. The job of reconciling the Carbon and Cocoa world's was not looking like a fun task. I just wanted to ask to be sure. Thanks for the help. Now on to new questions.

Once I have the Carbon window pinned to the Cocoa window with addChildChildWindow, the 2 windows still activate separately. How do I get them to behave as one window for activation?

Are you using window groups in Garage Band? I tried to use a window group already, but it doesn't appear to work. I add both windows to the same group, but they do not drag or activate together. I don't see a Cocoa way to accomplish this.

Also, how do you get the parent window to resize when the child window does? I guess what I'm running into here is my unfamiliarity with Carbon. I'll have to take this to that list soon.

Thanks again.

P.S. This is cross-posted t to the core-audio list for completeness, even though it really isn't a CA issue anymore.

Hi Dominic,

we're hosting Carbon AU views in GarageBand pretty much like described in the CoreAudio SDK:
/Developer/Examples/CoreAudio/Documentation/AudioUnits/ CarbonViewCocoaWindow.rtfd


This has been working pretty good for us, so what's the "obvious drawbacks" you're seeing with this parent/child approach?

Best,
Stefan

I need to display Carbon AudioUnitView's in a Cocoa app. So far, I have been able to insert the Carbon view into the NSWindow, but it is drawn behind all of the Cocoa views and doesn't receive any events.

I guess it is a 2 part problem then.
1. Is it possible to get the Carbon view to draw in front of the NSViews?
2. How do I get the Carbon view to respond to events?


If anybody has experience embedding Carbon controls inside of an NSWindow I'd appreciate any suggestions or insight.

I have read the recommended approach in /Developer that says to create a window and use parent/child windows to pin the Carbon window containing the carbon AudioUnitView to the parent NSWindow. This approach obviously has drawbacks. So, I'm researching any other possible solutions to this problem.
