Passing Click Through Transparent Window

Question

I have a fullscreen transparent window. When the user clicks on it I want the click to be sent to what's underneath the window. How would I do so?

Setting IgnoresMouseEvents to YES should do the trick..

Specifies whether the window is transparent to mouse clicks and other mouse events, allowing overlay windows.

Thank you but there is a problem. If I set that property to YES not only the window ignores the mouse events, but the whole app does (I'm overriding `-sendEvent:` in an `NSApplication` subclass but it is not called on left mouse clicks anymore when I set `'setIgnoresMouseEvents'` to NO. – Fatso Aug 03 '13 at 21:20
