Let me see if I understand this correctly. You have a text field in a
view. You want to be able to drag the mouse anywhere in the view
without editing the text field, but you want to be able to click on
the text field to edit it, right?
Seems to me that the simplest solution would be to just selectively
forward events to the text field. Something like this in your view:
- (void)mouseDown:(NSEvent *)event {
[self setLastMouseDownEvent:event]; // this is just a setter for an ivar
}
- (void)mouseDragged:(NSEvent *)event {
[self setLastMouseDownEvent:nil];
/* do whatever it is that you do here */
}
- (void)mouseUp:(NSEvent *)event {
NSEvent *mouseDown = [self lastMouseDownEvent];
if(mouseDown) {
[NSApp postEvent:event atStart:YES];
[_textField mouseDown:mouseDown];
}
}
