<http://developer.apple.com/DOCUMENTATION/Cocoa/Conceptual/CocoaViewsGuide/WorkingWithAViewHierarchy/chapter_5_section_5.html> "Note: For performance reasons, Cocoa does not enforce clipping among sibling views or guarantee correct invalidation and drawing behavior when sibling views overlap. If you want a view to be drawn in front of another view, you should make the front view a subview (or descendant) of the rear view." In fact IB and ibtool warns about this when you compile a XIB. If you are using layer backed views I think this restriction goes away since layers have a more formal Z ordering requirement. I am not sure if restricting to 10.5 alone is enough to deal with this (don't think it is). You normally deal with this by nesting views... your text view would be a subview of the image view or by doing custom rendering. -Shawn _______________________________________________ Cocoa-dev mailing list (Cocoa-dev@lists.apple.com) Please do not post admin requests or moderator comments to the list.
