Hi All, I am creating everything programatically:
one custom NSWindow -> one NSView (my root view), that has multiple
custom NSViews attached, in each one is an NSBox and NSTextField.
My problem is, I want the NSTextField to be transparent (and show the
NSBox behind), but instead it's making a hole in the NSBox to show the
desktop, what am I missing?
window and root view code:
-(id) initWithContentRect:(NSRect)windowRect {
NSLog(@"TransparentWindow::initWithContentRect");
if(self = [super initWithContentRect:windowRect
styleMask:NSBorderlessWindowMask backing:NSBackingStoreBuffered
defer:NO]) {
[self setOpaque:NO];
[self setBackgroundColor:[NSColor clearColor]];
[self setMovableByWindowBackground:NO];
[self makeKeyAndOrderFront:nil];
NSView *rootView = [[NSView alloc] initWithFrame:windowRect];
[self setContentView:rootView];
[rootView release];
controller = [[Controller alloc] initWithView:rootView];
}
NSLog(@"/TransparentWindow::initWithContentRect");
return self;
}
Controller is just a custom NSObject which managers my data, and it
creates a bunch of CustomViews:
- (id)initWithFrame:(NSRect)frame andData:(Data*)c {
NSLog(@"CustomView::initWithFrame");
self = [super initWithFrame:frame];
if (self) {
data = c;
NSRect myRect = NSMakeRect(0.0, 0.0, frame.size.width,
frame.size.height);
NSBox *bgView = [[[NSBox alloc] initWithFrame:myRect]
autorelease];
[bgView setBoxType:NSBoxCustom];
[bgView setBorderType:NSLineBorder];
[bgView setTitlePosition:NSNoTitle];
[bgView setFillColor:[NSColor grayColor]];
[self addSubview:bgView];
NSTextField *label = [[[NSTextField alloc]
initWithFrame:NSMakeRect(0.0, frame.size.height/2, frame.size.width,
TITLE_SIZE * 2)] autorelease];
[label setEnabled:NO];
[label setSelectable:NO];
[label setBackgroundColor:[NSColor clearColor]];
[label setTextColor:[NSColor colorWithDeviceRed:TITLE_COLOR
green:TITLE_COLOR blue:TITLE_COLOR alpha:1]];
[label setTitleWithMnemonic:@"testing"];
[label setAlignment:NSCenterTextAlignment];
[label setFont:[NSFont fontWithName:@"Myriad Set"
size:TITLE_SIZE]];
[label setBordered:NO];
[self addSubview:label];
}
NSLog(@"/CustomView::initWithFrame");
return self;
}
