Is there a way to make a custom NSWindow work with Spaces

Question

I\'m writing an app that has a custom, transparent NSWindow created using a NSWindow subclass with the following:

- (id)initWithContentRect:(NSRect)contentRect s         


        

Answer 1

Two things here.

You need to set the window to allow dragging by background, [window setMovableByWindowBackground:YES];

And If your custom window areas you expect to be draggable are custom NSView subclasses, you must override the method - (BOOL)mouseDownCanMoveWindow to return YES in any NSView subclass that needs to be able to move the window by dragging.
