I do this sort of thing all the time, typically at the level just above the window: id nr = [window nextResponder]; [window setNextResponder:myResponder]; [myResponder setNextResponder: nr]; (Last line perhaps otiose but better safe than sorry.) Here's another example, where the goal is to do menu item validation / response in a table view: NSResponder* r = [[myTableView enclosingScrollView] nextResponder]; [[myTableView enclosingScrollView] setNextResponder: self]; [self setNextResponder: r]; Typical use case is that I want to handle key events (e.g. flagsChanged:, keydown:) and/or deal with menus. I've been doing this for years and nothing bad has happened. m. -- matt neuburg, phd = [email protected], <http://www.apeth.net/matt/> A fool + a tool + an autorelease pool = cool!
