If validate is crashing, there's a bug you need to fix. It might be, you know, related to the problem you ran into. Have you looked for a memory management problem relating to the custom view? Did you check the run log for error messages? > So two hours later I still cannot display a custom view containing buttons in > an NSToolbar.

You haven't established that the custom view isn't visible, just that its contents aren't visible. Sometimes odd things happen when an unflipped view is inserted in a flipped superview. Maybe the subview frames or bounds aren't where you think they are. Maybe the subviews have been clipped away. _______________________________________________ Cocoa-dev mailing list (Cocoa-dev@lists.apple.com) Please do not post admin requests or moderator comments to the list.
