Re: Mouse Dragging in Apple Sketch

Apple provides a sample application called Sketch found in the AppKit folder. In the SKTGraphicView.m file there is a single mouse related method mouseDown:. There are no mouseDragged:, mouseUp:, or mouseMoved: methods.

My question is how does this application get information on a mouse dragged operation? The dragging functionality works but I can not see how or where this is implemented in the code.


Read the code more carefully.

Examine the call tree
mouseDown:
	selectAndTrackMouseWithEvent:
		resizeGraphic:usingHandle:withEvent:
		moveSelectedGraphicsWithEvent:
		marqueeSelectWithEvent:

In all the methods below mouseDown:, the view goes into a tight loop, collecting events until the left mouse button goes up, and responding to them. The other mouseXXX: methods are not provided, because mouseDown: handles the events in-line.

This is no longer a recommended way to handle dragging. Provide the mouseXXX: methods.
