You want to read up on how event handling in Cocoa works. When you click, the window is sending events to your overlay view. But if that view does not handle the event itself, it forwards it on to the next view below the mouse. So, you need to override the required event handling methods in your custom view to stop them forwarding the event on.

Hi,

I have a transparent black NSView that I layer over my window using NSView's addSubview method. This works fine, but I want to make it so that all clicks are captured by the NSView, because right now I can click through to the superview underneath. I've already tried returning NO for acceptsFirstMouse and it has no effect.

Thanks
