As a general rule, the tracking rects are smaller then the whole window, and technically need the mouse to enter/exit, which I don't see happening, if they are the same size.

Try something like:
[[mWindow contentView] addTrackingRect:NSInsetRect([mWindow frame], [mWindow frame].size.width/4.0, [mWindow frame].size.height/4.0)
owner:self
...


Which will create a tracking rect 1/2 the size of the window, centered.
The owner is the one who gets the callback, which is your class.

Hi,
I'm trying to get the following events to trigger:

- (void)mouseEntered:(NSEvent *)theEvent
- (void)mouseExited:(NSEvent *)theEvent

I'm using this call to get it to work:

[[mWindow contentView] addTrackingRect:[mWindow frame]
							owner:[mWindow contentView]
							userData:nil
							assumeInside:NO];

I've also tried:
[[mWindow contentView] addTrackingRect:[mWindow frame]
							owner:mWindow
							userData:nil
							assumeInside:NO];

mWindow is a custom NSWindow and the content view attached is also a
custom NSView.  I've defined the above event handlers in both custom
classes and set breakpoints, print messages, etc. but despite who I
set as owner of the tracking rect, I can't get the events to trigger.
Is there something else I have to do?

thanks,
wes
