I would like to create a panel to be used as a background and thus not  
respond to any thing (keyboard, mouse, ect) ...ie never become the key  
window.

I can make the window easily enough via IB but I did not see a method  
which would make the window immune to the mouse or keyboard.

Any help would be appreciated.


Thanks in advance.

Under program control, use "setEventMask:" to turn off all events you  
don't want to receive. The Window class docs show a list of all events and  
which ones are enabled by default. You just need a different mask.
