Hello Sorry for flooding the list with basic questions, but I really don't have a big experience with the Cocoa development.
I am delving currently into PDFKit for Mac, trying to display a PDF document on a window. I also would like to change default behavior of this control (this is a customized application, that should allow user draw onto PDF pages, so preserving "natural" PDFView functionality is not needed, PDF page is rather treated as a canvas for drawing). For example, I would like the user to be able to draw a rectangle with the right mouse button (instead of displaying context menu), or zoom in/out the document with the scroll wheel, or "pan" the document (that has been zoomed in) with the left mouse button, just like Mac OS Preview application does it in its Move mode. To achieve this, I have subclassed PDFView class, and tried to redefine mouse methods - specifically -rightMouseDown, and -scrollWheel. It appears none of them is ever called. As I understand, an event hander for NSView descendant is not being called if the container of this view (for example, another view) handles the event and doesn't call, for example, [[self nextResponder] eventHandlerName:theEvent] (but what is the "superview" for PDFView, besides the Content View?) How could I still react to the events? I have been adviced earlier to make my PDFView subclass install Event Monitors. Is this the only solution to handle these events? There is no "prettier" way?
