AlwaysOnTop

extend
#1

I need to create a window that always stays on top. Sounds annoying, I know, but it’s for a kiosk.

In ofAppGlutWindow.cpp, line 142, a GLUT window is created with glutCreateWindow(""); So, according to the internets, the code below should work on Windows (I don’t have a Windows machine handy to test), but what do I put in the OSX and Linux parts?

  
  
void ofSetWindowAlwaysOnTop() {  
#ifdef TARGET_WIN32  
    //get its handle "GLUT" = class name "ogl" = window   
    HWND hwnd = FindWindow( "GLUT", "" );   
    //set the window always-on-top  
    captionSetWindowPos( hwnd, HWND_TOPMOST, NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL, SWP_NOREPOSITION | SWP_NOSIZE );  
#endif  
  
#ifdef TARGET_OSX  
    // What goes here??  
#endif  
  
#ifdef TARGET_LINUX  
    // What goes here?  
#endif  
}

Or maybe am I over thinking this? Is there an existing method?

I tried re-compiling Poco, but I’m getting the same errors… Any ideas of how to make this work for 10.5?

Thanks,
