Question

My game (Mac OS X 10.5 compatible) needs a feature to switch(minimize) from fullscreen mode on Cmd-Tab command and leave focus at this time, so user can use other applications while my game is minimized(browser for example). How to do this?

Thank you!

Thanks Matthias! I’ve find the solution, the problem was that my fullscreen window was a top window [fullscreenWindow setLevel: NSScreenSaverWindowLevel-1]; so it captured all events every time. I’ve used this methods to catch the moment when my application loses/gets focus, and the I hide/unhide my app with all the windows:

- (void)applicationWillBecomeActive:(NSNotification *)aNotification
{
       [mApp unhide:self];
}
- (void)applicationWillResignActive:(NSNotification *)aNotification
{

     [mApp hide:self];

}
- (void)applicationWillFinishLaunching:(NSNotification *)aNotification
{
    mApp=[aNotification object];
}
