Hello List,
I have a WebView with a transparent overlay window + custom view
"attached" it to allow for custom overlay drawing on top of what the
WebView displays. This works very well.
However, I can't figure out a way to get -mouseMoved: messages on the
overlay window's view. Tracking areas as well as -mouseMoved: messages
(with setting acceptsMouseMovedEvents:YES on the overlay window) don't
work because the overlay window is borderless (NSBorderlessWindowMask)
and transparent and the framework does not send those messages to it.
So I thought, I go through a WebView subclass, establishing the
tracking area there and forward the mouse messages to the overlay
window and its view manually. Unfortunately this doesn't work either
because the tracking area events are only firing if there is no overlay.
The overlay view does get -mouseDown:, -mouseUp: and -mouseDragged:
events, but not -mouseMoved:. I'm pretty out of ideas, how can I get -
mouseMoved: messages on the overlay window?
Thanks for any input!
Regards
Markus
