Due the way Cocoa event handling works, the keydown event handler (and others) do not work with this control. To actually get an event, you'd have to use a subclass of CustomNSViewMBS and handle events there. In the CustomNSViewMBS you add the actual view you like to have. So all events not handled by this view, fall through to your CustomNSViewMBS.
On Carbon the RS framework intercepts events and calls keydown event.
Requires the window being composite for Carbon targets which is currently not available for modal windows in Xojo.
