NSRectFromCGRect() is basically just a typecast, but you need a coordinate conversion. The way to do this is to first convert the bounds of layer X to a rectangle in the coordinate system of your view's layer, which can be done with -convertRect:fromLayer: (note, you want bounds NOT frame here – if you use frame you need to convert from layer x's superlayer because the frame is in the layer' superlayer's coordinate system). Overall you may find it easier to simply setup a tracking area for the entire view and then hit test to find the layer of interest instead, especially since moving the layers around would mean moving the tracking areas around too. -- 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.
