Re: [g-a-devel] Which window is on top?

Samuel,

= it was rejected because it was said that AT-SPI engines shouldn't assume that the desktop is an X-Window desktop.

I'm ok with the rejection as long as I can use AT-SPI for everything.  But now that I have to use the underlying window manager to figure out which window is on top, I'm with you: it would be nice to be able to map AT-SPI windows to window manager windows, whether it's X or WIN32 or whatever.

I precisely asked for an API to get this information some time ago, but it was rejected because it was said that AT-SPI engines shouldn't assume that the desktop is an X-Window desktop.  So there is currently no way except the kind of tinkering you have figured out.
