I'm still trying to implement window snap-to-edge functionality with my panels (further to my "mouseDown/Up on window's titlebar?" post). Although the window doesn't get mouseDown / mouseUp called by default when you click / release the titlebar, overriding your window's -sendEvent: allows you to catch all mouseDowns / mouseUps.

I have been trying to figure out how to do this since you told me you had already seen the code from iratescotsman.com


Here is what I have come up with, your app doesn't control window movement, the window server does.

I tried overriding -mouseDragged: to start a modal event loop there, but it didn't work the window edge would drag off screen and then bounce in to place at the edge of the screen. My code looked something like this:

Something was handling the events before being sent to my window or app. I figured out they where being handled before the got to my app by starting an infinite loop and then dragging the window around the screen. Try adding this to your windows delegate:

- (void)windowDidBecomeKey:(NSNotification *)aNotification
{
	for(;;);
}

Window movement still works, and that is because the windows server handles it, you never even get a chance to implement custom window movement so long as you use the standard title bar.

And as far as I can tell there is no way to tell the window server that you want to handle window movement yourself. I hope I'm wrong about all this maybe someone else has the solution, but it looks like the only way to do it is with a fake title bar.
