nsview

Hi,

I have a super view, which has 2 subviews. These subviews are overlapped.

Whenever i choose a view from a menu, corresponding view should become the front view. i.e., it should be the font most subview.

acceptsFirswtResponder, resigns all work fine. But the mouse down events are sent to the topmost sub view which was set.

Regards, Dhana
