Graham; Scott, I have a follow-up question on this topic, if you don't mind. Do either of you have a recommendation on the idea of adding a layer-hosting view as a subview of a layer-backed view? I'm thinking of adding a virtual keyboard to an existing app that is layer-backed. I would like this VK view to have all the benefits that NSView brings including event handling without all of the heavy-weight of multiple subviews for the keyboard mechanics.
Can I mix these? (Please reply to the thread for everyone's benefit.) -Michael On Jun 22, 2011, at 3:02 AM, Scott Anguish wrote: >> Yep, I'm aware of the setWantsLayer/setLayer order making a difference. >> >> In my case I want a layer-hosting view, not a layer-backed view. >> >> However, my question isn't really about that, but about what is done when >> you check the box next to the layer in Interface Builder, in the >> 'setWantsLayer' panel.
