Excellent!

Somehow I missed that option.

I just did an experiment and I can build on this to get what I need.

Thank you!

I was about to code up a simple NSButton subclass that sends its action message continuously while held down, but then I checked the documentation:

See NSButton: http://developer.apple.com/documentation/Cocoa/ Reference/ApplicationKit/Classes/NSButton_Class/Reference/ Reference.html

"setPeriodicDelay:interval:
Sets the message delay and interval periods for a continuous button.

- (void)setPeriodicDelay:(float)delay interval:(float)interval

Parameters

delay
The amount of time (in seconds) that a continuous button will pause before starting to periodically send action messages to the target object. The maximum allowed value is 60.0 seconds; if a larger value is supplied, it is ignored, and 60.0 seconds is used.


interval
The amount of time (in seconds) between each action message. The maximum value is 60.0 seconds; if a larger value is supplied, it is ignored, and 60.0 seconds is used.


Discussion

The delay and interval values are used if the button is configured (by a setContinuous: message) to continuously send the action message to the target object while tracking the mouse.

Availability

Available in Mac OS X v10.0 and later.

– setContinuous: (NSControl)"

I just made a button continuous in IB, and indeed it sends its action message continuously as long as it is held down.
