Re: HIToolbars without a standard event handler

You still aren't being very specific. Is this your window or the

you're adding a toolbar to a window created by the application, that kind of
makes me cringe. I seem to recall having to make some subtle changes to my
window code when I added toolbars, changes you won't be able to accommodate
in your plug-in.

The window is created by the application, so it's not "mine". Don't cringe! :-)
Installing a standard window handler makes the toolbar work, but the refreshing of the window's content (which the app handles internally) stops working. I suppose the app uses the old event system (the WaitForEvent stuff).

I'm not trying to do some fancy stuff here, only the equivalent of what the standard handler would do. I used my own handler for handling dragging proxy icons, and it worked good.

A few specific questions:
1. What kind of events should I catch? I tried kEventControlClick, but that didn't do it. (maybe I did it incorrectly)
2. Should I register the event for the window or for the toolbar itself somehow, or for something else?
3. What should the event handler do? I suppose HandleControlClick might be in the right direction?

Thanks for any help,
