Following up on this ( Display System Keyboard Mac application? ) question, the keyboard is coming up fine, but if my application is in fullscreen mode, the keyboard launches, but remains in the background. How do I get around this? Any help is much appreciated!
Thanks,
Teja
Full screen is, by definition, above other windows and elements. I don't know how well this would work, but you could try asking the view for its -window, then using -setLevel: to lower the window level. Unfortunately, assuming it works at all, this would probably allow other elements (like the dock or other floating panels above your full screen view as well.

I want to develop a screen shot tool in mac，I need to get the top window under my mouse.
There is "ChildWindowFromPointEx" API in Windows OS, but Mac is more complex.
Does anybody know how to deal with it? Thanks very much
windowNumber returns the number of the frontmost window that would be hit by a mouse-down at the specified screen location. According to the apple docs.
I want to create a desktop widget (windows 10) with JavaFX. Is there any way to keep the window behind all others on the desktop? Also how to prevent it to minimize when clicking the show desktop button, or at least notice it.
After a bit of research it seems to be impossible at the moment to do this with java, although it is possible with the win32api and c++.
I have an application that at times can bring a view into fullscreen mode on a second display. The application does this by using the "enterFullscreenMode:withOptions" api on the view.
How ever what's odd is that while in fullscreen mode on another display, system shortcuts such as cmd+tab or alt+space doesn't work any more, all normal characters work though. And when I bring the view out of fullscreen mode the keyboard works normally again.
How can I fix this?
I'm currently developing a status bar application. It's quite important to know if the status bar is hidden because an application entered the full screen mode. Is there a way to know that?
Thanks in advance.
Pretty much the only notification you're going to get is from NSWorkspaceActiveSpaceDidChangeNotification. Besides that, NSRunningApplication might be of a little help but you can't immediately distinguish if an app is in fullscreen because (on the user-end), an app's fullscreen mode is handled entirely by the Dock app.
How to prevent a window to deminiaturizing when a user click on the dock tile of the window?
In one part of my application , I am miniaturizing the window and then have to ensure that user cannot deminiaturize it for a specified time .The application has more than one window.
Please suggest how to do this in cocoa.
This is against Apple's Human Interface Guidelines (see section 'Minimizing and Expanding Windows') and as a result there is almost certainly no way to do this.
You cannot. That is something the OS is doing and you can't influence it. You need to adapt your design so it's no problem if the user unhides the window.
