Function: Whether threading of view drawing is enabled for this window.
Notes:
Whether threading of view drawing should be enabled for this window. Defaults to true. When this is set to true, AppKit's view system is allowed to perform drawRect activity for the window's views on threads other than the main thread, for views that have canDrawConcurrently = true. When this is set to false, the window's views will be drawn serially as on 10.5 and earlier, even though some of the views may have canDrawConcurrently = true.

method, Cocoa, MBS REALbasic CocoaBase Plugin (NSView), class NSWindowMBS, Console safe, Plugin version: 9.6, Mac OS X: Works, Windows: Does nothing, Linux x86: Does nothing, Feedback.
Function: The window’s backing store type.
Notes:
Use constants like this:
| NSBackingStoreRetained | = 0 | The window uses a buffer, but draws directly to the screen where possible and to the buffer for obscured portions. You should not use this mode. It combines the limitations of NSBackingStoreNonretained with the memory use of NSBackingStoreBuffered. The original NeXTSTEP implementation was an interesting compromise that worked well with fast memory mapped framebuffers on the CPU bus—something that hasn't been in general use since around 1994. These tend to have performance problems. In Mac OS X 10.5 and later, requests for retained windows will result in the window system creating a buffered window, as that better matches actual use. Available in Mac OS X v10.0 and later. |
| NSBackingStoreNonretained | = 1 | The window draws directly to the screen without using any buffer. You should not use this mode. It exists primarily for use in the original Classic Blue Box. It does not support Quartz drawing, alpha blending, or opacity. Moreover, it does not support hardware acceleration, and interferes with system-wide display acceleration. If you use this mode, your application must manage visibility region clipping itself, and manage repainting on visibility changes. Available in Mac OS X v10.0 and later. |
| NSBackingStoreBuffered | = 2 | The window renders all drawing into a display buffer and then flushes it to the screen. You should use this mode. It supports hardware acceleration, Quartz drawing, and takes advantage of the GPU when possible. It also supports alpha channel drawing, opacity controls, using the compositor. Available in Mac OS X v10.0 and later. |
NSWindowMBS.becomeKeyWindow

method, Cocoa, MBS REALbasic CocoaBase Plugin (NSView), class NSWindowMBS, Console safe, Plugin version: 9.6, Mac OS X: Works, Windows: Does nothing, Linux x86: Does nothing, Feedback.
Function: Stores the window’s raster image from a given rectangle expressed in the window’s base coordinate system.
Notes:
This method allows the window to perform temporary drawing, such as a band around the selection as the user drags the mouse, and to quickly restore the previous image by invoking restoreCachedImage and flushWindowIfNeeded. The next time the window displays, it discards its cached image rectangles. You can also explicitly use discardCachedImage to free the memory occupied by cached image rectangles. aRect is made integral before caching the image to avoid antialiasing artifacts.
Only the last cached rectangle is remembered and can be restored.

Function: The constructor to create a new Cocoa Windows.
Notes:
x,y,w,h:
Location and size of the window’s content area in screen coordinates. Note that the window server limits window position coordinates to ±16,000 and sizes to 10,000.
styleMask:
The window’s style. Either it can be NSBorderlessWindowMask, or it can contain any of the options described in the constants, combined using the bitwiseOR function. Borderless windows display none of the usual peripheral elements and are generally useful only for display or caching purposes; you should normally not need to create them. Also, note that a window’s style mask should include NSTitledWindowMask if it includes any of the others.
bufferingType:
Specifies how the drawing done in the window is buffered by the window device, and possible values are described in “Constants.”
deferCreation:
Specifies whether the window server creates a window device for the window immediately. When true, the window server defers creating the window device until the window is moved onscreen. All display messages sent to the window or its views are postponed until the window is created, just before it’s moved onscreen.
Initialized NSWindow object.
This method is the designated initializer for the NSWindow class.
Deferring the creation of the window improves launch time and minimizes the virtual memory load on the window server.
The new window creates a view to be its default content view. You can replace it with your own object by using the ContentView property.

NSWindowMBS.disableFlushWindow
method, Cocoa, MBS REALbasic CocoaBase Plugin (NSView), class NSWindowMBS, Console safe, Plugin version: 9.6, Mac OS X: Works, Windows: Does nothing, Linux x86: Does nothing, Feedback.
Function: Disables the flushWindow method for the window.
Notes:
If the window is buffered, disabling flushWindow prevents drawing from being automatically flushed by the NSView display... methods from the window’s backing store to the screen. This method permits several views to be drawn before the results are shown to the user.
Flushing should be disabled only temporarily, while the window’s display is being updated. Each disableFlushWindow message must be paired with a subsequent enableFlushWindow message. Invocations of these methods can be nested; flushing isn’t reenabled until the last (unnested) enableFlushWindow message is sent.

NSWindowMBS.disableScreenUpdatesUntilFlush
method, Cocoa, MBS REALbasic CocoaBase Plugin (NSView), class NSWindowMBS, Console safe, Plugin version: 9.6, Mac OS X: Works, Windows: Does nothing, Linux x86: Does nothing, Feedback.
Function: Disables the window’s screen updates until the window is flushed.
Notes:
This method can be invoked to synchronize hardware surface flushes with the window’s flushes. The window immediately disables screen updates using the NSDisableScreenUpdates function and reenables screen updates when the window flushes. Sending this message multiple times during a window update cycle has no effect.
Available in Mac OS X v10.4 and later.

Notes: This method is invoked by resetCursorRects to clear out existing cursor rectangles before resetting them. You shouldn’t invoke it in the code you write, but you might want to override it to change its behavior.

NSWindowMBS.firstResponder as NSResponderMBS
method, Cocoa, MBS REALbasic CocoaBase Plugin (NSView), class NSWindowMBS, Console safe, Plugin version: 9.6, Mac OS X: Works, Windows: Does nothing, Linux x86: Does nothing, Feedback.
Function: The window’s first responder.
Notes:
The first responder is usually the first object in a responder chain to receive an event or action message. In most cases, the first responder is a view object in that the user selects or activates with the mouse or keyboard.
You can use the firstResponder method in custom subclasses of responder classes (NSWindow, NSApplication, NSView, and subclasses) to determine if an instance of the subclass is currently the first responder. You can also use it to help locate a text field that currently has first-responder status. For more on this subject, see Event Handling Basics (on developer.apple.com).
