Set NSView* (or NSWindow*) as parent (or wxWindow::SetHWND but for wxCocoa?)

[z***@gmail.com]

Hello,

How to set NSView* (or NSWindow*) as parent for e.g. my wxDialog?

For wxMSW am creating wxWindow setting its HWND and using it as a parent. I
want similar code for wxCocoa.

Thank you,
Zura

You don't need to create NSView/NSWindow.
You can just operate with wxWindow and use the same code for OSX/Cocoa.

Do you have any issues doing it?

Thank you.

Hi Igor,

My wxWidgets/wxDialog based application is a plug-in for main application
(non-wx). I need to set main application's main window as a parent to my
wxDialog - and I'm successfully doing it on Windows, by finding its HWND,
creating wxWindow with this HWND and using this as a parent.

I need same functionality for OSX. I have NSView* or NSWindow* of that main
application (non-wx) and want to set this as a parent.

Thank you,
Zura

There is no built in way to do it. We have wxNativeContainerWindow in
wx/nativewin.h, but it's not implemented for OS X. Any contributions to it
there would be welcome and maybe the existing MSW/GTK code can give you
some ideas about how to do it.
