Nested Views in different *.XIB files

Hi All, My goal is to have a split view with a left side pane containing an outline view - and 3 panes on the right on top of each other. To do this I did the following: 1) created a split view that is split horizontally into 3 parts. 2) I then created another split view that is split ver

Adding new rules to policy database

CALayer Grid jerky animation

Hi All, I have a grid of equal sized CALayers in a parent layer - in my case it's a calendar grid - but it could also be a chess board for example. After adding all the cell (child) layers to the parent layer I iterate through them again to add constraints. The parent layer can have it's widt

Custom View Binding, Arrays, and observeValueForKeyPath

Adding objects from one array to another and and Key Value Observing

Hi All, I have a view class that observes changes in a model class's array via KVO. Unfortunately - when ever the array is updated - the updates are sent to the view one at at a time. In my model class I have the following line: NSMutableArray * eventsArrayProxy = [self mutableArrayV

Hi All, There was a problem with my last solution - it does not work if a user types in anything into one of the controls. This time I had to call the superview's display function - so for everything to always display properly both the currently selected tabviewitem's view and it's superview n

How to detect if mouse on border of view

Core Animation vs. Basic Cocoa Graphics
