I am making a customised window (a NSWindow with NSBorderlessWindowMask) So far I have been able to handle dragging, resizing, cmd+click and even miniaturize with double click if allowed (see here) so my window resembles as much as possible to a normal NSWindow.

However when I drag my window to the corner of my screen the user will expect to move that window to the next space. (In case you have Spaces enabled in “SystemPreferences” > “Expose and Spaces” > “Spaces” > “Enable Spaces”)

I wonder how can I change to other space programmatically and move my window there?

    Finally I found a solution.
    I can’t change to a certain space programmatically but I can make my window behave like other non NSBorderlessWindowMask if [window setMovableByWindowBackground:YES] is done. That was the final purpose of this question 🙂

    The solution is written (with some detail) here because that question seems to be older (or maybe a duplicate of this question?)

    Is there a way to make a custom NSWindow work with Spaces
