mouseMoved not called when over the View

Question

I have subclass of NSView which implements mouseMoved.

However when I move my mouse over the view the mouseMoved never gets called. Why?

I am on OS X Lion.

Thanks, Vance

Even with -setAcceptsMouseMovedEvents:, your view will only get -mouseMoved: when it is the first responder. If you want to receive mouse moved events when your view isn't first responder, give NSTrackingArea a look.

Try enabling mouseMoved events on the window containing the view via the NSWindow class's setAcceptsMouseMovedEvents: method

I do try to set "[pullDownWindow setAcceptsMouseMovedEvents:YES];" on the NSWindow instance the view is part of but still nothing. Is there something else? – jox Aug 11 '11 at 04:19

i solved this problem by putting this hack in the CCDirectorMac: after:

 [fullScreenWindow_ makeMainWindow];
 [fullScreenWindow_ makeKeyAndOrderFront:self];

set acceptMouseMovedEvents to yes:

 [fullScreenWindow_ setAcceptsMouseMovedEvents:YES];
