Hi everyone. Maybe this issue is very odd, but I came across it indeed.
I wrote an application using an override NSView to respond events trigged by
users. Obviously, rewrite the -(void)mouseDown:(NSEvent* )theEvent is
necessary.
I want to test what button of mouse the user presses. So I want to check the
output of the [NSEvent type] value. Surprisingly, the output value is always
1, that is NSLeftMouseDown. No matter what button I pressed, the left button
or the right button, using a three-button mouse, cocoa kept reporting I
pressed the left button.


I am using a mouse shipped with Mac Pro(one key only), and a mouse made by
Microsoft(three keys, I am using it for testing :-) ). It is understandable
cocoa can only detect the left key when using the one-key mouse. But it is a
little puzzled returning a left-button-down event when press the right
button. Maybe cocoa is angry with Microsoft Mouse?



It is really strange... Can anyone here tell me what is wrong here? Any help
is highly appreciated.
Thank you very much. Have a nice day.

Did the Microsoft mouse come with some kind of driver that you installed? If so, I suppose it's possible that it could be mapping the other mouse buttons to left click. You might want to omnislash that sucker and see if the problem still occurs.
