Haha. Yes, this is an excellent (and now obvious) point. Thank you.

The subject line may be a little misleading as to what I'm doing--
I'm not really making a traditional button.
I'm making a panel (with a clickable heading) that is part of a
ListViewList/Accordion. In light of that, I need to alert the
accordion controller to animate its subviews to collapse and expand
with animation.

Your problem is that you're fighting the frameworks. Create your own
custom NSButton/NSButtonCell classes, move your drawing routines to
the cell class, and be done with it. It's *not* that much harder and
you get all the free, wonderful things that come with a
much-better-designed UI element than a simple NSView with an
overridden -mouseDown: method could give you.
Oh, and read up on the Target/Action mechanisms in Cocoa.

I.S.
If you are using a custom view, why you do not add a subview into
it, like an NSButton.
Adding a small button into your custom view is easier than
reimplenting all the button machinery.
