Hi,
I'm trying to get keyDown events from the contentView of a sheet window.
I overrided the acceptsFirstResponder method to return YES, and added
a - (void) keyDown: (NSEvent *) event.
The problem is that when the sheet becomes visible and I press a key I
hear a system alert and the keyDown isn't called.
I checked what's the nextResponder for that view (the window) and
added keyDown method also for it, but same thing, beep and no keyDown.
I think that this problem is related to the fact that the window is
modal.
I found something about modal windows looking in the documentation,
but the informations aren't clear.
"NSWindow objects are passive participants in the modal-window
mechanism; it's the application that programmatically initiates and
manages modal behavior. To run a window modally, NSApp uses its normal
event loop machinery but restricts input to a specific window or
panel. In the loop, it fetches events but if the events do not meet
certain criteria—most importantly their association with the modal
window—it tosses them." (from Cocoa Fundamentals Guide - The Core
Application Architecture - Windows - Modal windows)
How should I proceed?
Thanks,
Lorenzo Bevilacqua_______________________________________________
