keyView madness

hi!

i am trying to make a custom NSControl that has some other controls (like NSMatrix) as subviews.

I want to make my new Control act as if it was only ONE control. So the subviews inside my view should never ever be a

nextKeyView
or
previousKeyView

of any other control around my control.

But I can't get this to work!! And why? Because there is no setPreviousKeyView method. There is NSView's setNextKeyView but not setPreviousKeyView. WHY? :-)

I am going mad!!

Example:

Consider a window with my control on it and a NSTextField underneath.

After adding some NSMatrices to my control, the TextField underneath my control always reports an NSMatrix as previous keyview. but it should ALWAYS have MY CONTROL as previous key view. I spent two days on this now and I am giving up now!

The other way round (if a textField is above my control) is no problem, because there is something called setNextKeyView.

Importnat: I can not make the hack that the subviews of my control are set to setRefusesFirstResponder: YES ! Because they should become first responder sometimes. otherwise noone could go around in my matrix with the keyboard or such!

Any help is much appreciated because I am going really really mad :-)

Thanx!

Tobi
