I have a NSWindow, on which i apply this:
window.styleMask = window.styleMask | NSFullSizeContentViewWindowMask
window.titleVisibility = NSWindowTitleVisibility.Hidden;
window.titlebarAppearsTransparent = true;
I then add a NSView behind the titlebar to simulate a bigger one.
Now it looks like this:
I want to be able to move the window, by dragging the light-blue view. I have already tried to subclass NSView and always returning true for mouseDownCanMoveWindow using this code:
class LSViewD: NSView {
override var mouseDownCanMoveWindow:Bool {
get {
return true
}
}
}
This didn't work.
After some googling i found this INAppStoreWindow on GitHub. However it doesn't support OS X versions over 10.9, so it's completely useless for me.
Edit1
This is how it looks in the Interface Builder.
How can i move the window, by dragging on this NSView?

None of the answers here worked for me. They all either don't work at all, or make the whole window draggable (note that OP is not asking for this).
Here's how to actually achieve this:
To make a NSView control the window with it's drag events, simply subclass it and override the
mouseDown
as such:That's it. The
mouseDown
function will transfer further event tracking to it's parent window.No need for window masks,
isMovableByWindowBackground
ormouseDownCanMoveWindow
.
