Swift on OS X. How to handle global mouse events?

You are correct about using addGlobalMonitorForEventsMatchingMask:handler: A simple example might look something like this: AppDelegate.swift

class AppDelegate: NSObject, NSApplicationDelegate {

    @IBOutlet weak var window: NSWindow!
    @IBOutlet var textLabel : NSTextField!
    var eventHandler : GlobalEventMonitor?
    var gecount : Int = 0

    func applicationDidFinishLaunching(aNotification: NSNotification) {

        eventHandler = GlobalEventMonitor(mask: .LeftMouseDownMask, handler: { (mouseEvent: NSEvent?) in
        self.gecount += 1
        self.textLabel.stringValue = "global event monitor: \(self.gecount)"
    })
    eventHandler?.start()
  }
}

class AppDelegate: NSObject, NSApplicationDelegate {

@IBOutlet weak var window: NSWindow!

@IBOutlet var textLabel : NSTextField!

var eventHandler : GlobalEventMonitor?

var gecount : Int = 0

func applicationDidFinishLaunching(aNotification: NSNotification) {

eventHandler = GlobalEventMonitor(mask: .LeftMouseDownMask, handler: { (mouseEvent: NSEvent?) in

self.gecount += 1

self.textLabel.stringValue = "global event monitor: \(self.gecount)"

})

eventHandler?.start()

}

GlobalEventMonitor.swift

public class GlobalEventMonitor {

    private var monitor: AnyObject?
    private let mask: NSEventMask
    private let handler: NSEvent? -> ()

    public init(mask: NSEventMask, handler: NSEvent? -> ()) {
        self.mask = mask
        self.handler = handler
    }

    deinit {
        stop()
    }

    public func start() {
        monitor = NSEvent.addGlobalMonitorForEventsMatchingMask(mask, handler: handler)
    }

    public func stop() {
        if monitor != nil {
            NSEvent.removeMonitor(monitor!)
            monitor = nil
        }
    }
}

public class GlobalEventMonitor {

private var monitor: AnyObject?

private let mask: NSEventMask

private let handler: NSEvent? -> ()

public init(mask: NSEventMask, handler: NSEvent? -> ()) {

self.mask = mask

self.handler = handler

}

deinit {

stop()

}

public func start() {

monitor = NSEvent.addGlobalMonitorForEventsMatchingMask(mask, handler: handler)

}

public func stop() {

if monitor != nil {

NSEvent.removeMonitor(monitor!)

monitor = nil

What going on here is. Simple toggle action to flip between playing/not-playing state and reflect that in the color state. Adds a NSTrackingArea to the view. The owner is this view controller so it will receive the mouseMoved: event. The option .mouseMoved is required to set this up. Removes the tracking area from the view when the slide show […]
