Thank you for your infomation, i know the function keyPathsForValuesAffectingPreview, however, i did not know how to use it. I have looked the Reference. It said " an accessory view modifies printing-related properties that are used by the print preview, you should implement this method to return the key paths for those properties. For example, if you write an accessory view that lets the user change the left and right document margins in the current NSPrintInfo object, you would return the following key paths: representedObject.leftMargin, representedObject.rightMargin. (The NSPrintInfo object is the represented object of the accessory controller.) " Can you give me more detail about it? I want the preview NSView call its drawrect function when i press the button in the accessory view . How to do this?
