Maybe ...

acceptsFirstMouse:
Overridden by subclasses to return YES if the receiver should be sent a mouseDown: message for an initial mouse-down event, NO if not.


- (BOOL)acceptsFirstMouse:(NSEvent *)theEvent

Parameters

theEvent
The initial mouse-down event, which must be over the receiver in its window.


Discussion

The receiver can either return a value unconditionally or use the location of theEvent to determine whether or not it wants the event. The default implementation ignores theEvent and returns NO.

Override this method in a subclass to allow instances to respond to click-through. This allows the user to click on a view in an inactive window, activating the view with one click, instead of clicking first to make the window active and then clicking the view. Most view objects refuse a click-through attempt, so the event simply activates the window. Many control objects, however, such as instances of NSButton and NSSlider, do accept them, so the user can immediately manipulate the control without having to release the mouse button.

Availability

Available in Mac OS X v10.0 and later.
