I need to know when an NSSlider is being controlled by the user.

From your original comment, maybe the best way to go is simply turn on the "Continuous" checkbox for the slider. Then your action method will be called a lot as the user moves the slider around. You won't be notified explicitly when the user stops moving the slider, so maybe that's not what you're looking for and you do need to subclass.


You could take a look at the open source SMDoubleSlider project at <http://developer.snowmintcs.com/>. The code subclasses NSSlider and NSSliderCell successfully.

Thanks for the comment. That is exactly the problem. The solution seems
to be to subclass NSSliderCell and override the
stopTracking:at:inView:mouseIsUp method. The overridden class must then be
programatically assigned to the NSSlider object.

Since NSSlider is a descendant of NSResponder, shouldn't it receive the
mouseUp notification?

In a lot of the controls the mouseDown routine polls for mouseDragged events and the mouseUp event. It essentially takes over the event processing until mouseUp. This makes it extremely tricky to subclass.
