Hello!

I have a custom view in my application in which I want the user to drag an image around. The window is brushed metal, so everytime I click and drag the mouse in the view, the entire window moves.

I tried putting up a modal event loop (as suggested in the documentation) which did not work. I also tried to setNextResponder to NULL, but most probably I have not yet fully understood the responder chain concept.

Nevertheless, I achieved the desired behavior by putting the custom view inside a scroll view and hiding the scrollbars. But that doesn't seem like the "right" way. So what do I have to do in order to keep the window from being dragged? It feels like I should catch the mouse event, but I don't know how to do that.

mouseDownCanMoveWindow

- (BOOL)mouseDownCanMoveWindow
Returns YES if the receiver does not need to handle a mouse down and can pass it through to the view; NO if it needs to handle the mouse down. This allows iApp-type applications to properly determine the region by which a window can be moved.

Availability

Available in Mac OS X v10.2 and later.

But the behavior you're describing is quite strange. Do you override mouseDown in your custom view?
