Using the systemWindow property you can make a rev window float above all others. What if you only want to make it float above a certain application. The goal would be to make a Rev app that functions as an application-specific palette.
How would that work? Do you mean that with multiple applications running it would only float to the front when the target application was foremost?
I think I remember you used to be able to do this with FaceSpan-built apps. You had to edit resources (on OS 9) to make it happen, and set some resource to the creator code of the app you wanted to float over.
Don't know about this but there are probably more circuitous ways to do this on the Mac using applescript. You could have your Rev app regularly poll the current processes to see whether the target app was running and if so query the topmost window to see whether it belonged to it. If both conditions were met then you could set the systemWindow property (although be wary of toggling this too often or quickly as in my experience it can crash Rev under OSX).
In any case, is that even possible under Windows/OS X?
No ideas re Windows - sorry.
Cheers,
