hi everybody,

i'm in the process of writing a small app that sits in the background and doesn't have a dock icon (nsuielement = 1). from time to time, however, it is necessary to put up a window.

they do appear fine, but as soon as i have performed a click in a window of that app, the window loses the focus. in one window, for example, i got a table and it is only possible to click once in the table. afterwards -- as i said -- the window loses the focus and i can no longer click in the table...

any ideas?

Try NSBGOnly = 1, but this brings its own quirks.

i was thinking... how does net monitor do that? it uses nsuielement = 1, but the window still doesn't lose focus/key state after clicing into any gui elements.

one thought: net monitor's preferences used to have an empty text field in them up to a few versions ago with a note next to it saying something like "you don't have to care about this, it's just necessary" -- did that have anything to do with it?

You should use LSBackgroundOnly or LSUIElement, I think.
