That possibility is alas not available because my main custom view is 'layer hosting' and such views are not allowed to have subviews. I think a screenshot and names would help: <https://www.rogue-research.com/CocoaHierarchy.png> My *actual* view hierarchy: - BSStageHolderView (layer backed) - BSStageView (layer hosting) - NSButton - NSPopUpButton But for visual, mouse click, and mouse cursor purposes, I wish my hierarchy was: - BSStageHolderView (layer backed) - BSStageView (layer hosting) - NSButton - NSPopUpButton By having BSStageHolderView's subviews array ordered as they are above, the subviews are visually correct and the mouse hits are correct, but I'm having trouble with the mouse cursors. Tracking areas are nice, but limited to rects, and I have circular areas to deal with too. Other than using hundreds of them to approximate a circle it seems I must use mouseMoved: for cursors. Also my cursors need to change based on modifier keys. It's mostly working fine, except when I hover the mouse over the NSButtons, then BSStageView's mouseMoved: get called. First, I wanted to understand if that's even expected behaviour, but have found no answer in docs. I guess it is an edge case.
