Just wanted to follow up on this so the list archive has a solution in
case anyone searches for anything similar in the future. The solution
is courtesy of Darin Adler over on webkitsdk-dev.
The solution is to override -[NSWindow sendEvent:] and if the window
is not main send the NSLeftMouseDown event twice. The first time the
window will become main (and possibly key) and the second will start
the drag:
-(void)sendEvent:(NSEvent*)event
{
if (NSLeftMouseDown == [event type]
&& ![self isMainWindow])
&& [_webView mouse:[_webView convertPoint:[event locationInWindow]
fromView:nil] inRect:[_webView visibleRect]]) {
[super sendEvent:event];
}
[super sendEvent:event];
}
The side effect of this is that the NSPanel is now at least the main
window, which brings me to my next question.
This application is an 'agent' where LSUIElement is set to YES in
Info.plist. However, I don't want the agent application to come to the
front as this stops events being directed at the last current
application. In practice this is OK for some events (mouse down for
example) as they change the current application. However, it is
confusing in that if you, for example, use cmd+Q then the NSPanel
application is quit rather than the one that was in the front.
How do I make the agent application I am working on forward on events
to the last current application?

The problem I am having is that to drag out of the WebView the
panel has to be main (i.e. the close/minimize/zoom buttons are
filled in). However, if you hold down the command key, the drag
out of that window works fine.
Where do I start looking to make this work without having to hold
down the command key?
Have you looked at -[NSView acceptsFirstMouse:]?
Thanks for the heads up. This does look like what I need, however,
it requires me to override the NSView's that make up WebView. Simply
sub-classing WebView and returning YES from acceptsFirstMouse:
doesn't work.
Looking back through the stack trace from the WebUIDelegate methods
it appears that the actual class I am trying to change the
implementation of acceptsFirstMouse: is the private WebHTMLView.
It is not clear to me where to go from here. poseAs: is deprecated
and even then I am dealing with a private class. I am going to try
and see if I can get either -[NSApplication sendEvent:] or -
[NSWindow sendEvent:] to temporarily bring the window to the front
before sending on the event.
Any other ideas are welcomed,
Nick
