Hi,

I've added a Panel to a nib for an audio plug-in I'm working on, and am having trouble determining how the IB Inspector settings relate to the actual objects, such as an NSPanel. In the Inspector, there are several Style Mask checkboxes:

Utility HUD Non Activating Document Modal.

What do those mean? The tool tip for those says they relate to the member styleMask. Yet when I look up the NSWindow member styleMask, it leads me to a link to the page "Window Style Masks", which lists the following values:

NSBorderlessWindowMask NSTitledWindowMask NSClosableWindowMask NSMiniaturizableWindowMask NSResizeableWindowMask NSTexturedBackgroundWindowMask

I don't see what the relation between these is. Is there any?

Consider the NSPanel style mask values: enum { NSUtilityWindowMask = 1 << 4, NSDocModalWindowMask = 1 << 6, NSNonactivatingPanelMask = 1 << 7 NSHUDWindowMask = 1 << 13 }; I see a pretty easy one-to-one mapping. m. -- matt neuburg, phd = matt@tidbits.com, <http://www.apeth.net/matt/> A fool + a tool + an autorelease pool = cool!
