Thank you for this tip, I had tried doing this earlier, but I was using
-hitTest: from my NSWindow to find out if the event should be passed to my
view, which obviously didn't work because NSToolbarView was overriding
-hitTest: to return itself. I got it working by converting point to the view's
local coordinates and checking whether it was within bounds. Here's the code
snippet:
- (void)sendEvent:(NSEvent *)theEvent
{
switch (theEvent.type) {
case NSRightMouseDown: {
NSPoint point = [self.toolbarView convertPoint:[theEvent
locationInWindow] fromView:nil];
if (NSPointInRect(point, [self.toolbarView bounds])) {
[self.toolbarView rightMouseDown:theEvent];
return;
}
[super sendEvent:theEvent];
break;
} default:
[super sendEvent:theEvent];
break;
}
}
