Unfortunately that doesn't work. The moment I set the window to ignore
the mouse events, the app won't even be called, so the sendEvent method
is not executed. If I let the window get the mouse events, I nicely see
it run the code below, unfortunately the [super sendEvent: theEvent];
doesn't relay the event to the window/app below. Somehow I think I have
to refire the event, such that I won't get it this time... I also tried
[[self nextResponder] sendEvent: theEvent], but that doesn't help
either...

Well, I made a start, but what do I fill in to make the event be
ignored in the else part:
- (void)sendEvent:(NSEvent *)anEvent{
NSEventType type = [anEvent type];
if (type==NSRightMouseDown) || (type==NSLeftMouseDown &&
([anEvent modifierFlags] & NSControlKeyMask)){
} else {
// WHAT HERE TO IGNORE THIS EVENT BY MY APP AND FORWARD THE EVENT
TO THE NEXT APP?
}
}
[super sendEvent: anEvent];
I haven't tested this, but I would assume that the original
implementation (super's -sendEvent:) checks your window's
ignoresMouseEvents attribute. Your method should look like this
(written in Mail.app, all usual disclaimers apply):
- (void)sendEvent: (NSEvent*)theEvent {
NSEventType theEventType = [theEvent type];
if ((theEventType==NSRightMouseDown) ||
((theEventType==NSLeftMouseDown) && ([theEvent modifierFlags] &
NSControlKeyMask))) {
// deal with you right mouse clicks here
return; // eat the event
}
[super sendEvent: theEvent];
}
Cheers,
Peter.
Thanks Severin, but this is not exactly what I need, the question
is, can an event fired to [self nextResponder] end up eventually at
a different application? What I want is all events to be redirected
as if my window wasn't there, except for right mouse clicks:
The situations is as follows (as seen from the side):
**** **** **** finder icons
----------------- my semi transparent CD window
++++++++++ finder desktop
The moment I disable the clickthrough of my window it will start
catching all mouse events away from the finder, even though its
desktop icons are projected above my window....

Have you tried overriding your NSApp's -sendEvent: method?
Peter.
