This seems to work relatively well, except that the NSButton instance does not react to mouse events. For example, it does not perform the action or toggle its state when I click on it. Instead, my layer-hosted view gets the event (i.e. its mouseDown: method gets invoked). I found a partial work-around, which consists in calling "performClick:" on the button whenever its layer is the one under the mouse when the click happens, but this is not satisfactory (e.g. the button does not highlight when the mouse hovers over it, even though it should, given how it's configured).


AppKit doesn't do hit testing via the layer tree, so by moving the button's layer, you've desynchronized the graphical location of the button with the hit test location of the button. If you want to use layer-backed AppKit views, you always need to move them via AppKit for the graphical and logical locations to match.
