How do I get keyboard events in an NSScrollView?


  • Subject: How do I get keyboard events in an NSScrollView?

I have a custom NSMatrix class inside an NSScrollView inside an NSWindow. How do I handle keyboard events such as Page Up, Page Down, Home, End, and type-select? Whenever I type a key, my app just beeps.

I have linked my Window's initialFirstRepsonder to my NSScrollView. I have overridden acceptsFirstResponder, resignsFirstResponder, becomesFirstResponder, keyDown, pageDown, etc. in my NSMatrix subclass. My acceptsFirstResponder gets called three times, but the other routines are never called.

I also tried linking my Window's initialFirstResponder directly to my NSMatrix subclass. In that case my acceptsFirstResponder gets called once, but my other routines are still not called. I even tried calling [[self window] makeFirstResponder: self] in my initWithFrame routine, but that didn't make a difference either.

Any help would be greatly appreciated! I'm a Cocoa newbie, but I'm already starting to lose my hair!

Also, why doesn't NSScrollView handle the basic page up/page down/home/end functionality?

Dave

P.S. Here's my NSMatrix subclass code.

- (BOOL)acceptsFirstResponder
{
return YES;
}

- (BOOL)resignsFirstResponder
{
return YES;
}

- (BOOL)becomesFirstResponder
{
return YES;
}

- (void)keyDown:(NSEvent *)theEvent
{
NSLog([theEvent characters]);
}

- (void)pageDown:(NSEvent *)theEvent
{
NSLog(@"page down");
}
