Changing NSCursor for NSView above an NSTextView

Question

Found a similar question to mine(this), but my issues seems to be a bit more associated with view hierarchy.

I have a NSTextView, then as sibling views, several othe

Thanks @Leo Dabus for your answer, but I managed to solve it, so I will post my answer too.

In my case, for some reason, mouseEntered and mouseEntered did not work at all.

So here is my code that finally got it to work:

class CursorChangingView: NSView {
    let trackingArea: NSTrackingArea?
    func setupTracking() {
        if self.trackingArea == nil {
            self.trackingArea = NSTrackingArea(rect: self.bounds, options: NSTrackingAreaOptions.ActiveAlways | NSTrackingAreaOptions.MouseMoved | NSTrackingAreaOptions.CursorUpdate | NSTrackingAreaOptions.MouseEnteredAndExited | NSTrackingAreaOptions.ActiveInActiveApp, owner: self, userInfo: nil)
            self.addTrackingArea(self.trackingArea!)
        }
    }

    override func updateTrackingAreas() {
        self.trackingArea = NSTrackingArea(rect: self.bounds, options: NSTrackingAreaOptions.ActiveAlways | NSTrackingAreaOptions.CursorUpdate | NSTrackingAreaOptions.MouseEnteredAndExited | NSTrackingAreaOptions.ActiveInActiveApp, owner: self, userInfo: nil)
        self.addTrackingArea(self.trackingArea!)
    }

    override func resetCursorRects() {
        self.discardCursorRects()
        self.addCursorRect(self.bounds, cursor: NSCursor.arrowCursor())
    }

    override func mouseMoved(theEvent: NSEvent) {
        NSCursor.arrowCursor().set()
    }
}

It might be a little excessive, but worked, so will share this as my own solution.
