The view does not need to be key. It only needs to be in the key/main window and the mouse cursor needs to be over the view.
I don't know why you are worried about mouse events. If you are performing a gesture, then you will not get ouse events and the cursor will not move until you complete the gesture. It sounds like you aren't actually performing any known gestures. (Actually it sounds like you are trying to do a 1 finger gesture a'la iOS.) Are you trying to perform the gestures in the manner explained in the system preference pane? -raleigh On Apr 25, 2011, at 9:54 AM, Charlie Dickman wrote: > Raleigh, > > I actually don't want touches but since I wasn't getting anything I put them > in; I'll drop them. > > I understand I can't get gestures in the background - I'm not trying to. > > I will check to be sure that the view is key - thanks. > > I'm still confused about the mouse cursor responding to finger gestures.
