Setting window level

[niknbr]

Is there a way to set the window level ?

If not, I was trying to understand how it can be done similar to the window style, but could you please explain how these enum values are converted to NSUInteger

In these cases it's generally calling .into() on a type hinted NSUInteger declaration or param.

@ryanmcgrath I meant what is the value on the right side signify. For eg in WindowStyle::FullSizeContentView => 1 << 15, what is 1 << 15 exactly ? Sorry, not familiar with these apis.

[ryanmcgrath]

It's just a direct translation of the APIs, e.g:

https://developer.apple.com/documentation/appkit/nswindowstylemask/nswindowstylemasktitled

(NSWindowStyleMask is an NSUInteger)

Ah ok. Thank you. Would an implementation for window level be similar to this ? Any hints in that direction ? 🙂

[ryanmcgrath]

It likely would be similar, yes - though in typical Apple fashion the web docs lack context and you'll need to dig up the headers to find the right values:

https://developer.apple.com/documentation/appkit/nsfloatingwindowlevel?language=objc

And then also implement this:

https://developer.apple.com/documentation/appkit/nswindow/1419511-level?language=objc

And consider the orderIn/orderOut methods if you find them useful.

Thanks, new to this, but will give it a shot
