This isn't a very authoritative response, but I have seen the same behavior when implementing composite cells. In my case, I have not used startTracking, but simply overridden trackMouse:... I just set the state of the control myself before and after tracking:

[targetCell highlight:YES withFrame:cellFrame inView:controlView];
trackResult = [targetCell trackMouse:theEvent inRect:cellFrame ofView:controlView untilMouseUp:flag];
[targetCell highlight:NO withFrame:cellFrame inView:controlView];

Maybe if somebody thinks this is a bad idea they can chime in with a better way of doing things...

Hi,
I have a subclass of NSCell that contains a composition of other NSCells, eg NSImageCell, NSPopUpButtonCell, NSTextFieldCell and NSButtonCell. In my "controller cell" I have implemented

- (BOOL)startTrackingAt:(NSPoint)startPoint inView:(NSView *)controlView;

In this method I see if the point is in the rect of each control and if it is, for example in the NSButtonCell's rect, I call the same startTrackingAt: on the button cell. The problem I seem to be experiencing is that it is that the button cell does not seem to showing the depressed state.

- (BOOL)startTrackingAt:(NSPoint)startPoint inView:(NSView *)controlView
{
if (NSPointInRect(startPoint, _addRect))
{
NSLog(@"starting Point: %@ Rect: %@", NSStringFromPoint(startPoint), NSStringFromRect(_addRect));
return [_add startTrackingAt:startPoint inView:controlView];
}


return NO;
}

Does anyone know why this would be the case? Is there any example code that shows the use of implementing a composite type cell?

Regards,
Greg
