Just realized something interesting, and remembered a key detail that I forgot
to mention. The view in question is a custom view inside the toolbar of the
window. The NSToolbar by default has a contextual menu that appears when the
customizable property is set to YES. However, even though there is no menu when
customizable is set to NO, I suspected that it was still trapping right mouse
events. So I used a category on the private NSToolbarView class that manages
the UI for NSToolbar to check whether it was receiving the events:
@interface NSToolbarView : NSView
@end
@interface NSToolbarView (RightMouse)
@end
@implementation NSToolbarView (RightMouse)
- (void)rightMouseDown:(NSEvent*)theEvent
{
NSLog(@"right mouse");
}
@end
And as expected, the method is called. This leaves me wondering how the toolbar
view can receive the events when my own view inside the toolbar can not (as the
event would have to be forwarded up the responder chain to the toolbar in order
for it to receive it).
