Re: Dragging Transparent NSWindow with parent NSOpenGLView

OK, here's the code I use to allocate the SearchField's window:

    // Allocate SearchFieldWindow Controller
    if ( [SearchFieldWindowController
sharedSearchFieldWindowController] == nil ) // allocate and show
    {
	[SearchFieldWindowController allocSharedSearchFieldWindowController];
	if ( [SearchFieldWindowController sharedSearchFieldWindowController] == nil )
	{
	    wcout << L"Failed to allocate search field";
	    return;
	}
	
	// Add as child window -- so they move together -- FAILED
	NSWindow*	    nsMainWindow	    = [[AppController getAppController]
getMainWindow];
	SearchFieldWindow*  nsSearchFieldWindow	    =
[[SearchFieldWindowController sharedSearchFieldWindowController]
getWindow];
	[nsMainWindow	    addChildWindow:nsSearchFieldWindow ordered:NSWindowAbove];
	
	[[SearchFieldWindowController sharedSearchFieldWindowController]
showWindow:nil];
	
	// Resize Text view
	[[SearchFieldWindowController sharedSearchFieldWindowController]
resizeSearchFieldWindow];
	
    }
