Keyboard in a fullscreen cocoa app.

Question

Hello all,

Following up on this ( http://stackoverflow.com/questions/3860256/display-system-keyboard-mac-application ) question, the keyboard is coming up fine, but if my application is in fullscreen mode, the keyboard launches, but remains in the background. How do I get around this? Any help is much appreciated!

Thanks,
Teja

Full screen is, by definition, above other windows and elements. I don't know how well this would work, but you could try asking the view for its -window, then using -setLevel: to lower the window level. Unfortunately, assuming it works at all, this would probably allow other elements (like the dock or other floating panels above your full screen view as well.
