Is there a way to get list of open or visible NSWindow from mac desktop? Chuck Note that not all windows are necessarily NSWindows , and that NSWindow only provides an interface to windows in your own address space. The supported way to access every window is the CGWindow API. Take a look at the Son of Grab sample code to see how it's done. bosmacs You can use the accessibility API (accessibility must be enabled under System Preferences for it to work) to get information on windows (and other UI elements) from other processes. This question might be just what you're looking for. ALL running

I'm currently trying to make a window that looks like the Volume OS X window: To make this, I have my own NSWindow (using a custom subclass), which is transparent/titlebar-less/shadow-less, that has a NSVisualEffectView inside its contentView. Here's the code of my subclass to make the content view round: - (void)setContentView:(NSView *)aView { aView.wantsLayer = YES; aView.layer.frame = aView.frame; aView.layer.cornerRadius = 14.0; aView.layer.masksToBounds = YES; [super setContentView:aView]; } And here's the outcome (as you can see, the corners are grainy, OS X's are way smoother): Any

My Cocoa app needs some small dynamically generated windows. How can I programmatically create Cocoa windows at runtime? This is my non-working attempt so far. I see no result whatsoever. NSRect frame = NSMakeRect(0, 0, 200, 200); NSUInteger styleMask = NSBorderlessWindowMask; NSRect rect = [NSWindow contentRectForFrameRect:frame styleMask:styleMask]; NSWindow * window = [[NSWindow alloc] initWithContentRect:rect styleMask:styleMask backing: NSBackingStoreRetained defer:false]; [window setBackgroundColor:[NSColor blueColor]]; [window display]; Jason Coco The problem is that you don't want to

I am looking to make a custom window which would look something like this (never mind the quick photoshop): The main problem I have is not to make the window transparent (although I guess any info is welcome!), but that I want to be able to click only on the visible part of the buttons. For example, if I click just outside the top left of the "5" button, I want it to register a click on the "1" button and not the "5" button, even though I clicked in button 5's bounding box. And if I click just ouside of the "1" button's top left "corner", I want it to click on whatever is beneath my window and

In Objective-C for Cocoa Apps it's possible to use such way to keep window always on top? How to achieve the same with Swift? self.view.window?.level = NSFloatingWindowLevel Causes build error Use of unresolved identifier 'NSFloatingWindowLevel' To change the window level you can't do it inside viewDidload because view's window property will always be nil there but it can be done overriding viewDidAppear method or in a IBAction method: Swift 1 override func viewDidAppear() { super.viewDidAppear() view.window?.level = Int(CGWindowLevelForKey(kCGFloatingWindowLevelKey)) } Swift 2 view.window?

Problem: I have one window mainWindow and another childWindow added to mainWindow . childWindow is kind of WindowExt class. This class I define for catch method call [NSWindow becomeKeyWindow] that must be called after [childWindow makeKeyWindow] . If I create childWindow and try to make it keyWindow on next way: WindowExt *childWindow = [[WindowExt alloc] initWithContentRect:addedWindowRect styleMask:NSBorderlessWindowMask | NSTitledWindowMask backing:NSBackingStoreBuffered defer:NO]; [mainWindow addChildWindow:childWindow ordered:NSWindowAbove]; [childWindow makeKeyWindow]; method [WindowExt
