I've tried several of the available constructors for OverlayMBS,
and tried the different boolean options, pretty much every way I could.

They all have the same behavior - when my app, which doesn't have a menubar,
it exposes what was behind the other app that had focus, like a
browser or photoshop (which exhibits this a lot as it has a big menu
area at the top of the screen)

The best I've been able to do is to call
RemoteControlMBS.MacFrontProcessName = *Front-Process-Name* as soon as
I detect the mouse click to minimize the effect.
This results in a minimal "flicker" on the screen that is somewhat
jarring from a visual standpoint. It's OK I guess, but not ideal.

I was doing some additional research, into any method for doing a
window that wont "Steal Focus"
and came across an older post to the NUG regarding a "ToolTipLike"
window, one of the answers referenced OverlayMBS as a solution for
this, but didn't give any specifics...

Heres the archived post:

I hope this gives a better idea of what I'm trying to do - if theres
anything else I can provide, let me know - as I'm kind of out of ideas
here...

Thanks Again,
Cameron
