Why is NSWindow's setCanBeVisibleOnAllSpaces: deprecated?
-
Hi List,
I'm currently working on an Application, that uses Animation for a
kind of HUD Window. The Window is visible on all spaces. When hovering
with the mouse over the window and waiting for some time, the
animation starts. But after switching to another "Space" (I've spaces
enabled.) The animation does not occur. Switching back to the space
where the App was started and the animation first happened, the
animation works fine again.
Since I want to have the animation occurring on every Space, I found
the method "setCanBeVisibleOnAllSpaces". After calling the Method with
YES. The Animations are working on every space: As expected! But
during compilation I get the warning, that the Message is deprecated.
Why is this? It does exactly what I need. Or is there a better solution?
regards

That method was replaced in alter seeds and GM by -[NSWindow
setCollectionBehavior:].

Check out NSWindow's setCollectionBehavior:. That's the supported equivalent of setCanBeVisibleOnAllSpaces:.
