quick question,
right now I have an app that can track the mouse when it is dragged, I just use
- (void)mouseDragged NSEvent *)event {
But when I want to track it when I simply move the mouse around, I change Dragged to Moved and then nothing happens...

How can I track mouse movements?

Thanks

By default, windows do not track mouse moved events. Use the NSWindow method -setAcceptsMouseMovedEvents: to change this.

Depending on what you're trying to do, tracking rects or cursor rects might be a better way to do (a bit harder to program though). See the "Mouse Events" and "Tracking Rectangles and Cursor Rectangles" sections in the NSView class documentation for more info.

how exactly would i do that... im kind of new...

If you have an outlet to the window, call [theWindow setAcceptsMouseMovedEvents:YES]; after loading the nib. If this is in the main nib, you can do it in applicationDidFinishLaunching. If this controlled by an NSDocument subclass, do it in -windowControllerDidLoad:.

Alternatively, you could implement -awakeFromNib in your view class:

-(void)awakeFromNib
{
[[self window] setAcceptsMouseMovedEvents:YES];
}
