Well, this fixed *some* problems. Since I'm doing dynamic layout of the
controls in the window I don't know what's going to be there until runtime.
The problem I'm seeing is odd, because although layout *is* being done, it's
being done inaccurately. By that I mean that the frames I'm setting aren't the
frames that are getting set. All of the views have wantsLayer set, and none of
them are set to automatically resize subviews.
I'm doing the layout like this, where layoutFields: also does all of its layout
using the animator:
[NSAnimationContext beginGrouping];
[dynamicView layoutFields];
[[window animator] setFrame:window_frame display:YES];
[[dynamicView animator] setFrame:view_rect];
[NSAnimationContext endGrouping];
[auth_contents layoutFields];
The required height of the window is calculated from the controls, and here's
an example of the values that are getting set:
--> -[mydlg initWithTemplate:andDelegate:]
XIB loaded.
<-- -[mydlg initWithTemplate:andDelegate:]
--> -[mydlg windowDidLoad]
--> -[dynamicView initWithTemplate:andDelegate:]
XIB loaded.
--> -[dynamicView loadView]
<-- -[dynamicView loadView]
<-- -[dynamicView initWithTemplate:andDelegate:]
Initialized dynamic view.
Window rect: X = 22, Y = 442, W = 340, H = 292
Dyn View rect: X = 20, Y = 20, W = 300, H = 230
--> -[dynamicView layoutFields]
Field 2 rect: X = 0, Y = 0, W = 84, H = 22
Field 1 rect: X = 0, Y = 44, W = 225, H = 22
Label 1 rect: X = 0, Y = 70, W = 225, H = 17
Field 0 rect: X = 0, Y = 95, W = 225, H = 22
Label 0 rect: X = 0, Y = 121, W = 225, H = 17
<-- -[dynamicView layoutFields]
Window rect (after): X = 22, Y = 526, W = 340, H = 208
Dyn View rect (after): X = 20, Y = 20, W = 300, H = 146
<-- -[mydlg windowDidLoad]
But the values aren't getting set correctly. For example the view might get a
Y position of -3, or 0, field 0 might be at 87 instead of 95, and everything
else might be fine. The confusing part is that the layout *is* getting done,
and its *almost* right. I'd understand it if it wasn't getting done at all,
but why the inaccuracies? All of the numbers are floats, they're just shown
here as ints.
Any thoughts on this? Maybe I should be doing the layout later in the load
process, but I thought that once the view was loaded that would be enough to
layout the visible pieces... Order of the calls to setFrame: doesn't affect
anything.
Any pointers would be appreciated.
Kevin
