Technical Q&A TB49
Drawing while a Menu is Open


Q: How do I draw to a Macintosh window if it's partially obscured by a menu that's pulled down?

A: You don't. Previous Apple documentation described a method, but it is now deprecated. We hope to provide this functionality via a clean interface in a future operating system.
