NSWindow

Instances of the NSWindow class handle on-screen windows, their associated NSViews, and events generate by the user. An NSWindow's size is defined by its frame rectangle, which encompasses its entire structure, and its content rectangle, which includes only the content.

Every NSWindow has a content view, the NSView which forms the root of the window's view hierarchy. This view can be set using the setContentView: method, and accessed through the contentView method. setContentView: replaces the default content view created by NSWindow.

Other views may be added to the window by using the content view's addSubview: method. These subviews can also have subviews added, forming a tree structure, the view hierarchy. When an NSWindow must display itself, it causes this hierarchy to draw itself. Leaf nodes in the view hierarchy are drawn last, causing them to potentially obscure views further up in the hierarchy.

A delegate can be specified for an NSWindow, which will receive notifications of events pertaining to the window. The delegate is set using setDelegate:, and can be retrieved using delegate. The delegate can restrain resizing by implementing the windowWillResize: toSize: method, or control the closing of the window by implementing windowShouldClose:.

makeFirstResponder: 

- (BOOL) makeFirstResponder: (NSResponder*)aResponder;
Availability: OpenStep

This method attempts to make aResponder the first responder.
If aResponder is already the first responder, this method has no effect and simply returns YES. Otherwise, the method sends a -resignFirstResponder message to the current first responder (if there is one) and immediately returns NO if the current first responder refuses to resign.
Then the method asks aResponder to become first responder by sending it a -becomeFirstResponder message, and if that returns YES then this method immediately returns YES.
However, if that returns NO, the receiver is made the first responder by sending it a -becomeFirstResponder message, and this method returns NO.
If aResponder is neither nil nor an instance of NSResponder (or of a subclass of NSResponder) then behavior is undefined (though the current GNUstep implementation just returns NO).

orderFrontRegardless 

- (void) orderFrontRegardless;
Availability: OpenStep

Orders the window to the front in its level (even in front of the key and main windows of the current app) regardless of whether the app is current or not.

Availability: OpenStep

If place is NSWindowOut, removes the window from the screen. If place is NSWindowAbove, places the window directly above otherWin, or directly above all windows in its level if otherWin is 0. If place is NSWindowBelow, places the window directly below otherWin, or directly below all windows in its level if otherWin is 0.

If place is NSWindowAbove or NSWindowBelow and the application is hidden, the application is unhidden.
