Try subclassing NSView and making it MyLayeredView.
If MyLayeredView:
- (void) setUnderlyingLayerView: (NSView*) newUnderView
{
[newUnderView retain];
[underView release];
underView = newUnderView;
}
- (NSView*) hitTest: (NSPoint) point
{
NSView *hitView;
hitView = [super hitTest: point];
if ( hitView == self )
{
return [underView hitTest: point];
}
else
{
return hitView;
}
}
I say try because I really don't know if that'll work. But it's worth a shot.
