what I find is that my initWithFrame method is not being called ...
so i have two questions ...
my drawRect: IS being called, so I know my custom view is being
instantiated. why is my init not being called? i thought i figured
out the documentaiton enough to understand that the phrase "This
method is the designated initializer for the NSView class. Returns
an initialized object." meant that this was the only method i needed
to write to have custom behavior at creation time.
forget that, is there another way to win?
thanks in advance, i am happy to accept pointers to the
documentation i should have found.
If you designed your view in IB, so that it's in a nib file,
initWithFrame is not necessarily called when your application runs.
(initWithCoder may be called instead.) See:
http://developer.apple.com/documentation/Cocoa/Conceptual/CocoaViewsGuide/SubclassingNSView/chapter_6_section_2.html#/
/apple_ref/doc/uid/TP40002978-CH7-SW20
In that case, it's simplest to put your custom initialization in
awakeFromNib instead.
If you're creating your view programatically, then, yes, initWithFrame
should be getting called.
