NSButton catch a mouse click event

Question

I have the code

#import <Cocoa/Cocoa.h>


@interface MyButton : NSButton
{

}

- (void)mouseDown:(NSEvent *)theEvent;

@end

#import "ContextMenuButton.h"


@implementation MyButton

- (void)mouseDown:(NSEvent *)theEvent;
{
    // ...
}

According to the NSControl Class Reference mouseDown informs the receiver that the user has pressed the left mouse button.

How could I catch right and others mouse button clicks?

I'm not sure what is the final task, but to define a new button type it's better to subclass the NSButtonCell. — Gobra

NSControl derives, indirectly, from NSResponder, and that has methods mouseDown:, rightMouseDown: and otherMouseDown:, all three taking an NSEvent* as parameter.

Thanks. More exactly is the NSView class has method - (void)rightMouseDown:(NSEvent *)theEvent is all I need.

NSButton responds only on the left button click. Anyway take a look at NSEvent type. It determines a lot of info about event including wich button was pressed.
