About WindowFun |
This sample demonstrates how to: |
¥ Create an arbitrary number of window layers within your application. Your application |
will typically create windows into one of the predefined classes, floating, utility, etc., |
but with Mac OS X you have the ability to create an arbitrary number of window groups |
and layers, as well as set attributes to those groups. |
¥ Display an overlay window which is attached to the main window. Creating an overlay window |
that moves with its parent may be the easiest way to draw transparent text on a movie, |
for instance. |
¥ A method of drawing transparent lines by drawing to an overlay window. In the past it was |
a comon technique to XOR the bits on your window to draw overlay lines or show selection. |
With Mac OS X you may chose to draw semi-transparently into an overlay window for a similar |
effect. |
¥ How to display the "Poof" the toolbar uses, similar to the dock "Poof". |
