helloo. Can someone explain please, when an NSView's call -drawRect (being called manually - not by a framework) actually initiates redrawing of the frame and displaying everything that it had drawn, and when this call "doesn't initiate a thing"?
in some Apple samples is see that often to display a movie (a set of frames) onto the view this method is being called manually from the display link that is a part of NSView. When i am calling [myCustomView drawRect:NSZeroRect] from somewhere else than NSView's subclass' implementation code (a display link is not located inside NSView's subclass implementation) it doesn't work. I am obliged to use [myCustomView setNeedsDisplay:YES] which requires adding synchronization and the code becomes kind of messy. Is there a way to call drawRect and make sure the view actually redraws itself?
