Add NSClickGestureRecognizer to NSButton programmatically swift


I have multiple NSButtons generated with this code:

var height = 0
var width = 0

var ar : Array<NSButton> = []

var storage = NSUserDefaults.standardUserDefaults()

height = storage.integerForKey("mwHeight")
width = storage.integerForKey("mwWidth")

var x = 0
var y = 0
var k = 1
for i in 1...height {
    for j in 1...width {
        var but = NSButton(frame: NSRect(x: x, y: y + 78, width: 30, height: 30))
        but.tag = k
        but.title = ""
        but.action = Selector("buttonPressed:")
        but.target = self
        but.bezelStyle = NSBezelStyle(rawValue: 6)!
        ar.append(but)
        self.view.addSubview(but)
        x += 30
        k++
    }
    y += 30
    x = 0
}

And I need to add the NSClickGestureRecognizer to each of them to recognize secondary mouse button clicks. Is there any way to do that programmatically?


Solution

  • This should work:

    let g = NSClickGestureRecognizer()
    g.target = self
    g.buttonMask = 0x2 // right button
    g.numberOfClicksRequired = 1
    g.action = Selector("buttonGestured:")
    but.addGestureRecognizer(g)
    

    and later

    func buttonGestured(g:NSGestureRecognizer) {
        debugPrintln(g)
        debugPrintln(g.view)
        if let v = g.view as? NSButton {
            debugPrintln("tag: \(v.tag)")
        }
    }
