[Solved] Swift – how to make window unactivable?

by


Actually all you need is .nonactivatingPanel style panel. Everything else is details, like level of this window, custom views with overridden acceptsFirstMouse:, needsPanelToBecomeKey, etc. Btw, button accepts first click by default, non activating app in this case.

So your AppDelegate, for example, might look like the following:

class AppDelegate: NSObject, NSApplicationDelegate {

    var docky: NSPanel!

    func applicationDidFinishLaunching(_ aNotification: Notification) {

        // Create the window and set the content view. 
        docky = NSPanel(
            contentRect: NSRect(x: 0, y: 0, width: 120, height: 600),
            styleMask: [.nonactivatingPanel],
            backing: .buffered, defer: false)
        docky.level = .mainMenu
        ....
        docky.orderFrontRegardless()
    }
