I have implemented a NSButtonCell subclass in the usual way to catch mouse tracking. I get the startTrackingAt and stopTracking messages called correctly on the first click of the mouse. However the startTrackingAt is not quickly called again if I quickly click again the mouse, such as if I did a double click. I mean, if I perform a double or triple click I only get one pair of startTrackingAt and stopTracking calls instead of the desired two or three pairs. So the desired behaviour is to be able to catch all the mouse clicking activity in almost real time. What I get instead is some filtering of the actual mouse clicking. This is the way I implemented the methods

@implementation TrackButtonCell


+ (BOOL)prefersTrackingUntilMouseUp
   {
    return YES ;
   }


- (BOOL)startTrackingAt:(NSPoint)startPoint inView:(NSView *)controlView
   {
    NSTableView *tableView = (NSTableView *)controlView ;

    // do something

    NSLog( @"mouse down\n") ;
    return YES ;
   }

- (void)stopTracking:(NSPoint)lastPoint at:(NSPoint)stopPoint inView: (NSView *)controlView mouseIsUp:(BOOL)flag
   {
    NSTableView *tableView = (NSTableView *)controlView ;

    // do something

    NSLog( @"mouse up\n" ) ;
  }

@end


I observed that if I set the faster double click rate in System Preferences, then I am able to catch all the clicking activity, so the issue must be related to some multiple click filtering that Cocoa does before calling the above code.

Sorry for my simple English, it is not my native language though I try to do my best, I hope you all will understand.

Thanks in advance for any reply.
