No, you can't do this.

Core Animation is designed for easy animation, but not so you can freely mix views and layers like this.

you could probably do what you want by doing your current CALayer drawing into an NSView, and then add the textfield as a subview of that view.. then turn on layer backing for the parent NSView.

How can I incorporate an (editable) NSTextField into a CALayer, so that I can put the text field into another layer by doing [parentLayer addSublayer:textFieldLayer] ?

I really need to do this or some similar thing. Core Animation boasts being easily be able to create animated user interfaces right? And a very important part of user interfaces are indeed text fields right?
