Hey,

In Ruby, constants are identified by a capital letter at the beginning of its name, and that is why a NameError exception is raised. 
If this Objective-C constant is available to you, I don't think it would be available as a local variable in MacRuby.

Maybe MacRuby encapsulates this data in a class somewhere - I have no idea  - Sorry :-)

Thanks,
Rob

Hello everybody,

i'm new to MacRuby and currently trying my first Project.

I try to draw a NSPanel at the desktop window level.
Therefore, i would use the [window setLevel:kCGDesktopIconWindowLevel] method in Objective-C.
In MacRuby the call window.setLevel(kCGDesktopIconWindowLevel) doesn't work and produces the following log message:

undefined local variable or method `kCGDesktopIconWindowLevel' for #<PanelController:0x2002f1ac0>

Currently i have solved the Problem by using this work-around:
window.setLevel(CGWindowLevelForKey(2))

Why can't i use the call with the pre defined constant as i would in Objective-C ?

Thanks,
Michel
