I am creating a multi-window application on macOS. Each window created by me is a NSWindow. I would like to assign a custom Id as per my need, to the created NSWindow so that I can later find the window using the Id. Is there a way to do it ?
I understand there is a property called windowNumber. However, one cannot set this to a value as they desire.
var windowNumber: Int { get }
Thanks in Advance.
You can use the identifier
property of a NSWindow
object to assign a custom id string to a window, like this:
let myWindowIdentifier = NSUserInterfaceItemIdentifier("My window identifier")
window.identifier = myWindowIdentifier
To find a window using this identifier, you use code like this:
for window in NSApp.windows {
if window.identifier == myWindowIdentifier {
// Do something
break
}
}
