I have tried everything I can think of and have tried the documentation I can find and I still can not figure out what is going on or what to do about it.

I have an app that contains multiple NSView's which are all visible at the same time. They are all sub-classes of NSView but not of any of the others. Each has its initialize, initWithRect and drawRect methods invoked as it should.

With the exception of the 1st one I defined, the workhorse view, no methods implemented in any of the others and declared in the respective .h files are visible to any of the other views at compile time. I import the appropriate .h files and invoke the method via [view method... and the compiler reports that no such method can be found. Yet if I invoke the method via [view performSelector:... at execution time it works just fine.

I have no idea why the compile time recognition fails. Can someone explain to me what is going on and what I can do about it? Should there be a view hierarchy? If so, how structured?

Also, how does one synchronize events with the update of the various views? I can instruct each view what to draw and it draws it just fine (I use lockFocus, etc. when drawing is external to drawRect) and the updated view is seen _eventually_ but I can not synchronize subsequent activity to happen after the appropriate display is seen. How can I accomplish this synchronization? And how can I force a view to update? Invoking [view display] has no effect on forcing the display toshow the latest update.

Thanks for any help you can provide.
