Re: Not getting mouseDown: called when control-clicking in view in menu item
NSView handles rightMouseDown: differently - it calls calls menuForEvent: Documentation says in 10.7+ it should pass it up the responder chain, so you ought to get it. I'd put a symbolic break on -[NSView rightMouseDown:] and see if it's being called; that might shed some light on where it's going.

Re: Not getting mouseDown: called when control-clicking in view in menu item
As a test I have replaced the TrackView view with my own view in the MenuItemView sample code mentioned previously, still creating it programatically as in my own code, and it now gets mouseDown: with control held down no problem. So clearly the issue is nothing to do with how the view is created or some setting in the view class hierarchy. I suspect something to do with the way the app is started and its environment - it is created without any XIB as it is a user agent started by launchd and has no “.app” folder hierarchy, just a standalone executable which only creates a status bar menu item. It sets itself up as a delegate to NSApplication in main() and starts everything in applicationDidFinishLaunching:. The MenuItemView sample code is a more conventional Cocoa app with a XIB file etc. so maybe NSApplication (or other things) has different default settings. No obviously-related setting has been discovered in NSApplication as yet and things tried so far have made no difference.

Re: Not getting mouseDown: called when control-clicking in view in menu item SOLVED
Solved. The problem was caused by the view concerned having a menu set with setMenu:. With that remove it now gets mouseDown: with control held down. Many thanks for your thoughts.
