Re: rightMouseDown: never called in NSView subclass

The description of what you're trying to do is a bit vague, but couldn't you just create an NSToolbarItem with a custom view? You might need to do a few tweaks if it needs to resize with the window, but that sure seems easier than trying to circumvent the framework as you are describing. You'd be a

Is there any other way to do this aside from what I'm doing right now? As far as I know, I have two choices: a) Use this method and risk something breaking b) Write an NSToolbar clone I know the risks, but if I could get this to pass through Mac App Store submission then I'd rather deal with po

Ah, well, yes, if IB doesn't expose the class you need, that makes subclassing impractical. But in that case, replacing the NSToolbarView method seems even more undesirable. On Aug 25, 2011, at 20:55 , Indragie Karunaratne wrote: > I'm not sure how I would get NSToolbar to use my subclass of N

Re: rightMouseDown: never called in NSView subclass

I'm not sure how I would get NSToolbar to use my subclass of NSToolbarView. I can't set the class of the toolbar *view* itself in IB (nor programatically, as far as I know), because NSToolbarView is a private class that NSToolbar uses to implement the UI. I can of course change the class of the

Based on Corbin's tip, I overrode -hitTest: on NSToolbarView to call NSView's implementation instead and suddenly everything works. I expected something to break in NSToolbarView from doing this, but I've tested pretty thoroughly and there seem to be no issues. I don't know exactly how dangerous

Re: rightMouseDown: never called in NSView subclass

This would make more sense if I explained what the view itself was. Long story short, it's a pretty huge (and important) custom control that runs all the way across the toolbar. There are other ways to access the commands (via the application menus + shortcuts) but I would also like to have a co

Re: rightMouseDown: never called in NSView subclass

A contextual menu in a toolbar? Lets think about this for a moment. A) such a command would be hard to discover. Your customers have other ways to activate the same commands right? If not, why not use a popup button here? B) I assume that's because you have an action tied to single click…. why no
