Two ideas:
* In Carbon, this works (with regular REALbasic window class):
Window1.windowGroupMBS.Level =
Window1.windowGroupMBS.LevelForKey(kCGFloatingWindowLevelKey)
howerer, in Cocoa, this fails because
Window1.windowGroupMBS = nil
however, if I did this, it works!
#if TargetCocoa
winGroup = new WindowGroupMBS
winGroup.create(0)
me.WindowGroupMBS = winGroup
#endif
winGroup.level = LevelForKey(kCGFloatingWindowLevelKey)
Could it be possible that you can use WindowGroups with cocoa windows?
* It looks fairly easy to get notifications if another window moves using
NSWindowDidResizeNotification
Here's an example of a cocoa window that attaches to another window:

perhaps you can use that technique?
