I have a question. I have a view and when it first appears i need to
set the cursor, to something besides the arrow, when the window is
made visible. course i want to se the cursor only if the window
appears and my mouse is over the window.
It seems if i do it during awakeFromNib: or viewDidMoveToWindow: in
the view the cursor gets set back. The other problem is that this is
a photoshop plugin and i am not using NSCursor. I am trying to use
the cursors that photosohp supplies by using a photoshop supplied
call, which is basically a Carbon call setting the cursor.
Any clues would be great Do i do it in my window and not my view?

You typically provide an implementation of resetCursorRects in your
view subclass(es). In there, you call addCursorRect:cursor: for each
rectangle of interest (this is sometimes just a single rect being the
view's bounds).

The framework is responsible for calling resetCursorRects at the
appropriate times so there's nothing else you need to do.

However, there appears to be a bug (I need to file one soon) such
that if the mouse cursor is over the view when the view is brought
into view, the cursor is not set to your cursor. You first have to
move off, then back into the view. You can duplicate this bug by
running Apple's PDFView sample code. After you launch the app,
quickly move the mouse anywhere where the app's window will appear.

I cannot speak for the plugin and what restrictions that may impose.
I'm assuming that plugins can be both Carbon-based or Cocoa? are
they ultimately all Carbon and can just bring up Cocoa windows?
