I suppose my first question is why not just use UIViews instead? They should already abstract all of what you need to make this work away from you, and you should only need to set the view's contentMode property to UIViewContentModeRedraw to get the behavior you seem to desire. Then it would just be a matter of teaching the UIViews how to draw themselves to generate their own content instead of having the parent UIView do so and push it to them. As for overall, I'm not entirely certain what is happening, but it sounds like you have a timing issue, possibly one where the view's are resized on one runloop invocation and their contents replaced on the next. Instead of overriding -setFrame: you should override -layoutSubViews: which should catch more cases where layout is needed and allow you to do the work you need at the right time. -- David Duncan _______________________________________________ Cocoa-dev mailing list (Cocoa-dev@lists.apple.com) Please do not post admin requests or moderator comments to the list.
