I have a non-document window and I want to provide a window title path popup

seem to figure out how to get my code called when there is a mouseDown the
window title.


I've tried subclassing NSWindow, but that does not seem to do it - my
mouseDown:(NSEvent*) method is not being called.

Anyone have any ideas?

I have an implementation that does just this, for purposes of creating path popups for windows representing remote file listings in a network client. It relies on some other convenience methods, but I hope you get the idea of it anyway.


@implementation ZAWindow

- (void)sendEvent:(NSEvent *)event {
    BOOL    handled = NO;

if([event type] == NSLeftMouseDown && [event commandKeyModifier] &&
[[self delegate] respondsToSelector:@selector (windowTitleBarMenu:)]) {
NSPoint point;
NSRect frame;
NSSize size;


        point = [event locationInWindow];
        frame = [self frame];
        size = [[NSFont titleBarFont] sizeOfString:[self title]];

        if(frame.size.height - point.y <= size.height + 5.0 &&
           point.x > (frame.size.width / 2.0) - (size.width / 2.0) &&
           point.x < (frame.size.width / 2.0) + (size.width / 2.0)) {
            NSMenu        *menu;
            NSEvent        *menuEvent;
            NSPoint        menuPoint;

            menu = [[self delegate] windowTitleBarMenu:self];

if(menu) {
menuPoint = NSMakePoint((frame.size.width / 2.0) - (size.width / 2.0),
frame.size.height - 2.0);


menuEvent = [NSEvent mouseEventWithType:[event type]
location:menuPoint
modifierFlags:[event modifierFlags]
timestamp:[event timestamp]
windowNumber:[event windowNumber]
context:[event context]
eventNumber:[event eventNumber]
clickCount:[event clickCount]
pressure:[event pressure]];


[NSMenu popUpContextMenu:menu withEvent:menuEvent forView:NULL];

                handled = YES;
            }
        }
    }

    if(!handled)
        [super sendEvent:event];
}

@end
