What I have already done:
When the user clicks on a popup area, I create my popup menu,
display it as a subview of the main view, then (remember I'm still
in my mouse event in the main view) poll for all mouse events until
the user is done with the popup, and I forward them manually to the
subview.
I don't think this is the best way to do this, but I can't figure
out how to redirect the flow of events to the subview *without*
doing it manually, after an initial mouse down event, but before the
mouse up event.
After popping up the second view (from within your first view's
mouseDown: I take it), call some method of your own choice on the
second view. In this method, implement a loop which fetches and
handles events. Do not return from this method until you get the
events that dismiss it. If that is a mouse up, the first view will
never get it, and the mouseDown: just returns, having handled the
whole thing.
It's almost the same as what you have, except that the event
processing loop has moved to the second view object.
