Re: [platform-swt-dev] Window Position - Mac
|
All of the pieces you need are there -- you just have to assemble them. :-)
windowNumbersWithOptions: is a 10.6-only API. If you want 10.5 support you need to look at NSCountWindowsForContext() and NSWindowListForContext().
Once you have a window number, have a look at CGWindow.h, which has a number of methods for getting information about any open window.

A quick look in the documentation for the NSWindow class I found this: http://developer.apple.com/Mac/library/documentation/Cocoa/Reference/ApplicationKit/Classes/NSWindow_Class/Reference/Reference.html#//apple_ref/occ/clm/NSWindow/windowNumbersWithOptions:

I would like to be able to launch any application, gain control of it and query it to find out where it’s top left position is. If there is a way to do it by setting its position, that would also work for me.
