Found it just after I posted:
- (BOOL) _hasActiveControls
{
return YES;
}Also, while this works to show an active *appearance* for buttons, pop- ups and so on, I've never tried it with text fields. It's a quick thing to try though. It would be useful for Apple to provide a properly supported way to do this, to allow "pop-up controls" though perhaps the new view-in-a-menu-item mechanism will do that now.

Peter, I've run into something similar and I think it has to do with the window server not making a window active (i.e. main and key) if it has the borderless attribute. The workaround I ended up using was to override a private undocumented NSWindow method which controls use to query the active state of the window, to always return YES.Unfortunately I've dug through a mountain of code but can't find where I used it. Someone else may remember this trick and help me out... of course, it's not a great solution but it works from 10.3 through 10.5 so far...G.

Specifically, running the code below, the text field just won't work. (I've tried it with all backing types, BTW.)NSWindow *window = [[NSWindow alloc] initWithContentRect:NSMakeRect(300,300,300,300) styleMask:NSBorderlessWindowMask backing:NSBackingStoreBuffered defer:NO];NSTextField *field = [[NSTextField alloc] init]; [field setEditable:YES]; [window setContentView:field]; [window makeKeyAndOrderFront:self];But change the styleMask to NSTitledWindowMask and it works as expected.What am I missing? Is it impossible to do this for some reason? On the subject of NSBorderlessWindowMask, the docs give the rather opaque guidance, "Useful only for display or caching purposes," as if a window was useful for anything other than display. Is there some other, better way to create a completely custom window?I'm running 10.5.2, if that matters.
