Hello all, I'm back to the list after quite a while away.
In my app, I've got a palette of tools in a utility window, stored in a
matrix. This works quite nicely.
I use -sendActionOn: to add NSPeriodicMask to the list. This also works
quite nicely.
The problem is, I want to be able to detect--in the action method
called by the cells--whether the event that triggered the message send
was periodic or mouse-up, because I want to pop up a little tear-off
palette a la Photoshop for tool groups.
After looking through the docs and headers, I noticed that the shift,
control, et cetera masks are done with different values than the event
masks, so I figured it was worth seeing if -mouseDownFlags would have
the bit for NSPeriodicMask returned along with it... but no luck. It
detects shift and control key presses fine, but NSCell isn't returning
the event mask.
Is there any way to get the type of event that triggered the action
from NSCell? If not, how come?
Thanks very much,
-- Robout
