Most of AppKit in fact don't use the -[mouseDragged] and -[mouseUp] events for tracking.

Really? Outside of things like buttons, that's an unfortunate choice, isn't it? As the "Cocoa Event-Handling Guide" points out, a class that handles dragging in this manner is "more difficult to extend without the subclass reimplementing all the dragging code".


You'd think that extending AppKit classes would be a fairly common thing to want to do...

NSTableView is one such class that has to do this. It needs to take control of mouse tracking. It is unfortunate, as it makes more difficult to subclass, but hopefully we have the appropriate hooks for developers to do what they want. If there isn't, then please log bugs.
