mouseEntered and mouseExited not called in NSImageView SubClass

Swift 3 Version of @Justin Boo's answer:

private var trackingArea: NSTrackingArea?

override func updateTrackingAreas() {
    super.updateTrackingAreas()

    if let trackingArea = self.trackingArea {
        self.removeTrackingArea(trackingArea)
    }

    let options: NSTrackingAreaOptions = [.mouseEnteredAndExited, .activeAlways]
    let trackingArea = NSTrackingArea(rect: self.bounds, options: options, owner: self, userInfo: nil)
    self.addTrackingArea(trackingArea)
}

Swift 4 version of Justin Boo's answer

override func updateTrackingAreas() {
    super.updateTrackingAreas()

    for trackingArea in self.trackingAreas {
        self.removeTrackingArea(trackingArea)
    }
    
    let options: NSTrackingArea.Options = [.mouseEnteredAndExited, .activeAlways]
    let trackingArea = NSTrackingArea(rect: self.bounds, options: options, owner: self, userInfo: nil)
    self.addTrackingArea(trackingArea)
}

If You want to use mouseEntered: and mouseExited: You need to use NSTrackingArea. Here is reference NSTrackingArea Class Reference.

Example:

//Add this to Your imageView subclass

-(void)mouseEntered:(NSEvent *)theEvent {
    NSLog(@"Mouse entered");
}

-(void)mouseExited:(NSEvent *)theEvent
{
    NSLog(@"Mouse exited");
}

-(void)updateTrackingAreas
{ 
    [super updateTrackingAreas];
    if(trackingArea != nil) {
        [self removeTrackingArea:trackingArea];
        [trackingArea release];
    }

    int opts = (NSTrackingMouseEnteredAndExited | NSTrackingActiveAlways);
    trackingArea = [ [NSTrackingArea alloc] initWithRect:[self bounds]
                                                 options:opts
                                                   owner:self
                                                userInfo:nil];
    [self addTrackingArea:trackingArea];
}
