Hi,
Looking at the CGWindowLevel.h header of the CoreGraphics framework:
enum {
kCGBaseWindowLevelKey = 0,
...
kCGDesktopIconWindowLevelKey,
...
#define kCGDesktopIconWindowLevel \
CGWindowLevelForKey(kCGDesktopIconWindowLevelKey)
$ ./miniruby -e "framework 'Cocoa'; p KCGDesktopIconWindowLevel"
/Users/lrz/src/macruby-trunk/-e:1:in `<main>': uninitialized constant
KCGDesktopIconWindowLevel (NameError)
$ ./miniruby -e "framework 'Cocoa'; p KCGDesktopIconWindowLevelKey"
18
It looks like the bridge support generator was not able to handle this #define
notation. If you file a bug using http://bugreport.apple.com we can try to
address this problem in a next version of Mac OS X.
In the meantime, a workaround is to use
CGWindowLevelForKey(KCGDesktopIconWindowLevelKey)
as you already figured out :-)
HTH,
Laurent
