Ken, Yeah I read the docs. I can't figure out how to get the
-stopTracking:at:inView:mouseIsUp: method to fire.
Should I just be able to define that method and receive use that
method when the mouse is up? Or do I have to use a combination of the
mouse tracking methods available. I've tried both and can't figure out
why that method does not fire.
These are just some random tests to see the order of how I should call
the methods. But I can't figure out why that stop method won't fire.
Any help would be much appreciated.
- (BOOL)startTrackingAt:(NSPoint)startPoint inView:(NSView *)controlView {
printf("START TRACKING\n");
return NO;
}
- (BOOL)trackMouse:(NSEvent *)theEvent inRect:(NSRect)cellFrame
ofView:(NSView *)controlView untilMouseUp:(BOOL)untilMouseUp {
printf("TRACK");
if([self
startTrackingAt:NSMakePoint(cellFrame.origin.x,cellFrame.origin.y)
inView:controlView]) {
//call the continue tracking method here
return YES;
}
return YES;
}
- (BOOL)continueTracking:(NSPoint)lastPoint at:(NSPoint)currentPoint
inView:(NSView *)controlView {
printf("CONTINUE\n");
return YES;
}
- (void)stopTracking:(NSPoint)lastPoint at:(NSPoint)stopPoint
inView:(NSView *)controlView mouseIsUp:(BOOL)flag {
printf("STOP TRACKING");
}
