No. KeyDown happens when the key goes down, KeyUp happens when they key comes back up. Likewise with MouseDown and MouseUp, and they can happen in any order relative to one another (or relative to another KeyDown/Up or MouseDown/Up). > Thanks a lot for any info on this.

The reason you see this kind of behaviour sometimes is that *some* views process events in a loop in their -mouseDown: handler. See this blog post I wrote in 2007 about event handling, which shows two different ways of handling -mouseDown: and talks a bit about eating keypresses during processing. https://alastairs-place.net/blog/2007/11/19/commands-and-mo/ Kind regards, Alastair. -- http://alastairs-place.net _______________________________________________ Cocoa-dev mailing list (Cocoa-dev@lists.apple.com) Please do not post admin requests or moderator comments to the list.
