Hi Marc,

Sorry for replying on my own mail. But:
Now I've written my own NSApplication class, which does nothing else except spewing out all received NSEvents (overwriting -sendEvent:).
Nothing. So it looks like 1. either I'm on the wrong track or 2. Window-Messages are not supported. At least not as I expect it.

In MS Windows applications could communicate with each other with the help of messages. So application A could send a Message "Freaky-Message" to application B. Actually these messages are nothing else then events (As far as I understood this issue). So is there a possibility to intercept these events? A quick look over the reference of NSResponder just showed a lot of "Description forthcoming." :-(

Yes, I have to break you the bad news.
GNUstep of course uses Window messages (see WIN32ServerEvent.m). We use one common window function to dispatch the events, rather similar to a normal windows application. So on the lower level everything you expect is there and working, but we only pass on very few, well known of these messages to higher levels. Why? Because there are just too many of them and because GNUstep is a platform independent framework which tries to provide similar behaviour in different environments.
If you need any specific behaviour here, it should be easy to enhance your own GNUstep Windows applications with specific window functions.
Cheers Fred
