I realize these send my HIView enter and exit events, but do they
also send mouse moved events?
No. Mouse-moved events are not automatically sent to views by the
Carbon event manager. If you need those events at the view level,
you could install a mouse-moved event handler on your window that
locates the view under the mouse and then sends the event to the view.
What about button events? Or must I use the blocking tracking
functions?
Mouse-down events are generally turned into a higher-level event,
such as kEventControlClick or kEventControlTrack. They are not
routed directly to views. Mouse-up events are not converted into
anything higher-level, but I don't think we route them to views
either - I'd have to check the source to be sure.
In either case, if you really need these events at the view level,
you could install your own handler at the window level that
manually resends the event to a view, but this is generally not the
preferred approach. More info about how you'd like to use these
events would be helpful.
Thanks, Eric. I've posted another reply that might be more enlightening.
I would basically like to get all the low-level mouse events as they
pertain to a specific view, in that view's coordinate system, without
having to do extra work ;-)
