Try looking into using the NSApplication delegate methods that inform
you when your app becomes active/hidden, e.g.
- (void)applicationDidBecomeActive:(NSNotification *)aNotification

Hi All, i have an app which is running on the desktop :
windowRect = [[NSScreen mainScreen] visibleFrame];
window = [[NSWindow alloc] initWithContentRect:windowRect
styleMask:NSBorderlessWindowMask backing:NSBackingStoreBuffered
defer:NO];
[window setFrame:windowRect display:NO];
[window setOpaque:NO];
[window setBackgroundColor:[NSColor clearColor]];
[window setMovableByWindowBackground:NO];
[window setLevel:kCGDesktopIconWindowLevel];
[window setAcceptsMouseMovedEvents:YES];
The app is running a quartz composition, which has custom QCPlugin
in it.
My first problem was, that even where there are other app windows
(e.g. finder) on top of my app, the app (the quartz composition)
responds to mouse events whilst its in the background (e.g. I want
animations to trigger if the mouse is over something, but not if its
obscured by finder or safari etc.). So I did a check to see if my
app was active or not ([[NSApplication sharedApplication] isActive])
before responding to mouse position and events.
That works to some degree, but if I have a window to the side and my
app is fully visible, it doesn't respond to mouse position and
events - because its not active. But is there a solution to this?
