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: http://support.realsoftware.com/listarchives/realbasic-nug/2011-05/msg00937.html 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...
