Well, it depends. Drawing canvases may or may not support the idea of a selection, and so highlight selected objects in a certain way. That highlight might want to be sensitive to the active state of the window so that it can be drawn using the inactive control colour when inactive rather than a bright highlight, or turned off altogether. Bright highlighting in inactive windows is distracting and misleading. In DrawKit I do this, and the only way was to subscribe to the window's notifications for becoming/resigning main and refreshing the view. --Graham _______________________________________________ Cocoa-dev mailing list (Cocoa-dev@lists.apple.com) Please do not post admin requests or moderator comments to the list.
