I have a color well, which I am clicking on, and whenever I change the color in the color panel, the color panel sends a changeColor: message down the responder chain. Every time.

I *don't* want this, because it's sending changeColor to the wrong object. It's a bit long-winded to explain, but it boils down to the fact that I have this color well bound to a color property in a model object and I don't want any actions sent.

So I read the docs:

"When you select a color in the color panel, NSColorPanel sends its action to its target, provided that neither the action nor the target is nil."


Ok, so I figured the color panel must have changeColor: set as its action. I went to inspect what it was set to but... YOU CAN'T. There is no -target or -action method in NSColorPanel. *lovely*. So I tried setting both to nil in my controller, and tried it again... Same deal. changeColor: is being called.

So I figured it must be the color well which is setting the action when the color well becomes active. So I created a custom color well subclass, and did:

- (void)activate:(BOOL)exclusive;
{
        [super activate:exclusive];
        [[NSColorPanel sharedColorPanel] setTarget:nil];
        [[NSColorPanel sharedColorPanel] setAction:nil];
}


... which should hopefully fix the problem. It doesn't. changeColor: is *STILL* called.

What the heck do I have to do to make it NOT send an action message?
