Question

I have setup global keyboard trap using following code:

    self.machPortRef =  CGEventTapCreate(kCGSessionEventTap,
                                         kCGTailAppendEventTap,
                                         kCGEventTapOptionDefault,
                                         CGEventMaskBit(kCGEventKeyUp),
                                         (CGEventTapCallBack)eventTapFunction,
                                         self);   

How can i block/redirect keydown events of front most active window in my cocoa app. I tried to return NULL in eventTapFunction, but it didn’t block the event.

Thanks,

Subclass NSApplication, and override -sendEvent:
