Receiving mouseDown event in NSTextView subclass outside of the text container

In my subclass of NSTextView I have overridden mouseDown. The text 
container associated with the text view doesn't fill the whole text 
view. My mouseDown method gets only called when I click in the area of 
the text container. If I hit the area outside of the text container 
but still in the text view my mouseDown method doesn't get invoked.

Is there a way to receive mouseDown events outside the text container? 
Actually I want handle the events outside the container myself and 
call super for handling the events occuring in the container.

Cheers,
Martin
