Views do become inactive (look at any well-designed control).
Did you happen to have an 'a-ha' moment when you typed that sentence? "Views" don't generally have an active/inactive state. Controls, which are a special case of view, do. So have you considered making your custom view an NSControl instead of a simple NSView? That's the thing, you see. "Inactive" means the user can't interact with it. But the user can't interact with a view that's not a control anyway, so the state has no meaning._______________________________________________ Cocoa-dev mailing list (Cocoa-dev@lists.apple.com) Please do not post admin requests or moderator comments to the list.
