Question

Is it possible to prevent a window in Cocoa to become activated/focused?
I’m working on Qt but need to implement their custom macEvent function giving me a EventRef structure.. is there any way to use this to prevent a window to become active by certain circumstances?

thanks!
Alex

Answer 1

in cocoa you can override NSWindow method - (BOOL)canBecomeKeyWindow

it is invoked every time the window should become key.

- (BOOL)canBecomeKeyWindow {
    return NO;
}
