i'm "attempting" to add a stroke to a rect, and i realized that NSBezierPath is not available on iPhone SDK, so i'm forced to subclass the rect...
my StrokeView:UIView class.m is this: - (id)initWithFrame:(CGRect)frame { if (self = [super initWithFrame:frame]) { frame = CGRectMake(10, 10, 100, 100); } return self; } - (void)drawRect:(CGRect)rect { CGContextRef context = UIGraphicsGetCurrentContext(); CGContextSetLineWidth(context, 2.0); CGContextSetStrokeColorWithColor(context, [UIColor whiteColor].CGColor); CGContextStrokePath(context); } now in my may app controller.h i have the following: @class StrokeView; @interface AppController : UIViewController { StrokeView *strokeViewClass; } @property (nonatomic, retain) StrokeView *strokeViewClass; and in the implementation file, i'm calling for the class to be added as a subview with this: #import "StrokeView.h" [self.view insertSubview:strokeViewClass atIndex:1]; totally doesn't work.

When -initWithFrame: completes, the view needs to be initialized to the point that it can do something useful. > -drawRect: is just for drawing. You should be doing as little as possible inside of -drawRect: and it should all be 100% related to drawing the content of your view. You may read from various properties, but you almost never set them. > -- > David Duncan > Apple DTS Animation and Printing > _______________________________________________ Cocoa-dev mailing list (Cocoa-dev@lists.apple.com) Please do not post admin requests or moderator comments to the list.
