Thanks everyone for your help on this. I wanted to know if the mouse was on the border area prior to the mouse down event to determine if the mouse icon should change as the mouse hovers over the border. Is there a way to do this without a mouseMoved event?
Thanks,
Mazen Abdel-Rahman

I know how to detect if the mouse enters a view area by using NSTrackingArea - but how can I tell if the mouse is on a border? I would like to replicate iCal's behavior where a user can modify an event on the calendar by clicking on the edge of the appt. rectangle and dragging it.

That is easy to work out by comparing the mouse point against the bounds to whatever degree of precision you want (I'd suggest not making it too precise, as it will be hard to hit - 4 pixels minimum is probably OK).
