NSResponderMBS.beginGestureWithEvent(e as NSEventMBS)

Type	Topic	Plugin	Version	macOS	Windows	Linux	iOS	Targets
method	Cocoa	MBS MacBase Plugin	9.6	✅ Yes	❌ No	❌ No	✅ Yes	Desktop & iOS

Informs the receiver that the user has begun a touch gesture.

The event will be sent to the view under the touch in the key window.
Available in Mac OS X v10.6 and later.

NSResponderMBS.cancelOperation

Type	Topic	Plugin	Version	macOS	Windows	Linux	iOS	Targets
method	Cocoa	MBS MacBase Plugin	8.4	✅ Yes	❌ No	❌ No	✅ Yes	Desktop & iOS

Implemented by subclasses to cancel the current operation.

This method is bound to the Escape and Command-. (period) keys. The key window first searches the view hierarchy for a view whose key equivalent is Escape or Command-., whichever was entered. If none of these views handles the key equivalent, the window sends a default action message of cancelOperation: to the first responder and from there the message travels up the responder chain.

If no responder in the responder chain implements cancelOperation:, the key window searches the view hierarchy for a view whose key equivalent is Escape (note that this may be redundant if the original key equivalent was Escape). If no such responder is found, then a cancel: action message is sent to the first responder in the responder chain that implements it.

NSResponder declares but does not implement this method.

NSResponderMBS.capitalizeWord

Type	Topic	Plugin	Version	macOS	Windows	Linux	iOS	Targets
method	Cocoa	MBS MacBase Plugin	8.4	✅ Yes	❌ No	❌ No	✅ Yes	Desktop & iOS

Implemented by subclasses to capitalize the word or words surrounding the insertion point or selection, expanding the selection if necessary.

If either end of the selection partially covers a word, that entire word is made lowercase. The sender argument is typically the object that invoked this method. NSResponder declares but doesn't implement this method.

NSResponderMBS.centerSelectionInVisibleArea

Type	Topic	Plugin	Version	macOS	Windows	Linux	iOS	Targets
method	Cocoa	MBS MacBase Plugin	8.4	✅ Yes	❌ No	❌ No	✅ Yes	Desktop & iOS

Implemented by subclasses to scroll the selection, whatever it is, inside its visible area.

NSResponder declares but doesn't implement this method.

NSResponderMBS.changeCaseOfLetter

Type	Topic	Plugin	Version	macOS	Windows	Linux	iOS	Targets
method	Cocoa	MBS MacBase Plugin	8.4	✅ Yes	❌ No	❌ No	✅ Yes	Desktop & iOS

Implemented by subclasses to change the case of a letter or letters in the selection, perhaps by opening a panel with capitalization options or by cycling through possible case combinations.

NSResponder declares but doesn't implement this method.

NSResponderMBS.complete

Type	Topic	Plugin	Version	macOS	Windows	Linux	iOS	Targets
method	Cocoa	MBS MacBase Plugin	8.4	✅ Yes	❌ No	❌ No	✅ Yes	Desktop & iOS

Implemented by subclasses to complete an operation in progress or a partially constructed element.

This method can be interpreted, for example, as a request to attempt expansion of a partial word, such as for expanding a glossary shortcut, or to close a graphics item being drawn. NSResponder declares but doesn't implement this method.

NSResponderMBS.Constructor   Private

Type	Topic	Plugin	Version	macOS	Windows	Linux	iOS	Targets
method	Cocoa	MBS MacBase Plugin	13.1	✅ Yes	❌ No	❌ No	✅ Yes	Desktop & iOS

The private constructor.

NSResponderMBS.cursorUpdate(e as NSEventMBS)

Type	Topic	Plugin	Version	macOS	Windows	Linux	iOS	Targets
method	Cocoa	MBS MacBase Plugin	9.6	✅ Yes	❌ No	❌ No	✅ Yes	Desktop & iOS

Informs the receiver that the mouse cursor has moved into a cursor rectangle.

Override this method to set the cursor image. The default implementation uses cursor rectangles, if cursor rectangles are currently valid. If they are not, it calls super to send the message up the responder chain.

If the responder implements this method, but decides not to handle a particular event, it should invoke the superclass implementation of this method.
Available in Mac OS X v10.5 and later.

NSResponderMBS.endGestureWithEvent(e as NSEventMBS)

Type	Topic	Plugin	Version	macOS	Windows	Linux	iOS	Targets
method	Cocoa	MBS MacBase Plugin	9.6	✅ Yes	❌ No	❌ No	✅ Yes	Desktop & iOS

NSResponderMBS.helpRequested(e as NSEventMBS)

Type	Topic	Plugin	Version	macOS	Windows	Linux	iOS	Targets
method	Cocoa	MBS MacBase Plugin	9.6	✅ Yes	❌ No	❌ No	✅ Yes	Desktop & iOS

Displays context-sensitive help for the receiver if such exists; otherwise passes this message to the next responder.

NSWindow invokes this method automatically when the user clicks for help—while processing theEvent. Subclasses need not override this method, and application code shouldn't directly invoke it.

NSResponderMBS.performMnemonic(theString as string) as boolean

Type	Topic	Plugin	Version	macOS	Windows	Linux	iOS	Targets
method	Cocoa	MBS MacBase Plugin	9.6	✅ Yes	❌ No	❌ No	✅ Yes	Desktop & iOS

Overridden by subclasses to handle a mnemonic.

If the character code or codes in theString match the receiver's mnemonic, the receiver should perform the mnemonic and return true. The default implementation does nothing and returns false. Mnemonics are not supported in Mac OS X.

NSResponderMBS.presentError(e as NSErrorMBS) as boolean

Type	Topic	Plugin	Version	macOS	Windows	Linux	iOS	Targets
method	Cocoa	MBS MacBase Plugin	13.2	✅ Yes	❌ No	❌ No	✅ Yes	Desktop & iOS

Presents an error alert to the user as an application-modal dialog.

e: An object containing information about an error.

The alert displays information found in the NSError object e; this information can include error description, recovery suggestion, failure reason, and button titles (all localized). The method returns true if error recovery succeeded and false otherwise. For error recovery to be attempted, an recovery-attempter object (that is, an object conforming to the NSErrorRecoveryAttempting informal protocol) must be associated with e.

The default implementation of this method sends willPresentError to self. By doing this, NSResponder gives subclasses an opportunity to customize error presentation. It then forwards the message, passing any customized error object, to the next responder; if there is no next responder, it passes the error object to NSApp, which displays a document-modal error alert. When the user dismisses the alert, any recovery attempter associated with the error object is given a chance to recover from the error. See the class description for the precise route up the responder chain (plus document and controller objects) this message might travel.

Available in OS X v10.4 and later.

NSResponderMBS.rotateWithEvent(e as NSEventMBS)

Type	Topic	Plugin	Version	macOS	Windows	Linux	iOS	Targets
method	Cocoa	MBS MacBase Plugin	9.6	✅ Yes	❌ No	❌ No	✅ Yes	Desktop & iOS

Available in Mac OS X v10.6 and later.

NSResponderMBS.tabletPoint(e as NSEventMBS)

Type	Topic	Plugin	Version	macOS	Windows	Linux	iOS	Targets
method	Cocoa	MBS MacBase Plugin	9.6	✅ Yes	❌ No	❌ No	✅ Yes	Desktop & iOS

Informs the receiver that a tablet-point event has occurred.

Tablet events are represented by NSEvent objects of type NSTabletPoint. They describe the current state of a transducer (that is, a pointing device) that is in proximity to its tablet, reflecting changes such as location, pressure, tilt, and rotation. See the NSEvent reference for the methods that allow you to extract this and other information from theEvent. The default implementation of NSResponder passes the message to the next responder.
Available in Mac OS X v10.4 or later.

NSResponderMBS.tabletProximity(e as NSEventMBS)

Type	Topic	Plugin	Version	macOS	Windows	Linux	iOS	Targets
method	Cocoa	MBS MacBase Plugin	9.6	✅ Yes	❌ No	❌ No	✅ Yes	Desktop & iOS

Informs the receiver that a tablet-proximity event has occurred.

Tablet events are represented by NSEvent objects of type NSTabletProximity. Tablet devices generate proximity events when the transducer (pointing device) nears a tablet and when it moves away from a tablet. From an event object of this type you can extract information about the kind of device and its capabilities, as well as the relation of this tablet-proximity event to various tablet-point events; see the NSEvent reference for details. The default implementation passes the message to the next responder.
Available in Mac OS X v10.4 or later.

method	Cocoa	MBS MacBase Plugin	8.4	✅ Yes	❌ No	❌ No	✅ Yes	Desktop & iOS
