From one point of view, I would recommend *not* taking this approach, since it comes near to flailing, and that’s never a good way to solve a problem for realz. OTOH, I have to admit that I usually end up taking an overkill approach. That is, I implement whatever event method overrides I need (including cursorUpdate), then in *all* of them I invoke a method that decides what cursor to show. That includes mouseDown, mouseUp and mouseMoved/Dragged if they’re overridden. This doesn’t feel quite as smelly as making an end-run around cursorUpdate, but that may just be self-justification. I’d advise you to persevere with debugging the original problem. The most informative route is to find out what the conditions for failure are. (Coordinate system changes when scrolling occurs? Tracking areas overlapping system-defined tracking areas at the borders of the window? Something changing the cursor after you set it correctly? One particularly annoying special case is that in a scroll view, the clip view monitors the cursor near the edges where scroll bars appear, and will set the cursor back to the arrow if you venture into the scroll bar. You may need to set the scroll view’s “documentCursor” property to get the cursor you expect.) > Again, I am building on 10.10 for 10.10, so maybe there is something there. > It seems like a very straight forward attempt. It may of course be a 10.10 issue, but it’s not a good idea to start there. In my experience with NSTrackingArea, it’s always your own fault, but it’s always very hard to debug. _______________________________________________ Cocoa-dev mailing list (Cocoa-dev@lists.apple.com) Please do not post admin requests or moderator comments to the list.
