I had thought about this too, but was afraid that -drawRect: would be called
more often than the actual content of the view was being changed.
If you could limit the calls within -drawRect: perhaps by setting a content did
change flag in the subclass this might reduce the notifications to be
meaningful.
Like: (written in mail)
-drawRect:(NSRect)rect
{
if ( contentDidChange )
// post notification
[super drawRect:rect];
}
