Ah yes, snarky potshots are time-proven way to get help from a forum.

If so, I guess it should work, but it's unusual to have a view be the owner of a NIB. You are mixing view and controller layers, so you may want to consider a different design just to clarify the roles of objects. It appears you expect the content of the NIB to be visible. But, you add m_text as a subview and it has no subviews; the fact that m_text is the owner of the NIB does not cause views in the NIB to be added automatically to the owner. if m_text has an outlet to a view, that will be connected, but then m_text must add the view to itself as a subview. Try this quick experiment: in NSPDText, override -drawRect and scribble in the view, such as (written in Mail): - (void)drawRect:(NSRect)rect { [@"Hello World" drawAtPoint:rect.location withAttributes:nil]; } Aaron >> >> >> >> >> On Apr 20, 2012, at 7:56 AM, koko wrote: >> >>> Good questions. >>> >>> As an experiment, in the same method in which I create and add the subview >>> which is not displaying I create an NSButton using the same frame as for >>> the subview.
