Re: NSControl objects on a custom view
Hi Jens, thanks for the answer. If you drag an NSTextfield on your custom view in Interface Builder, doesn't it become a subview automatically?

Re: NSControl objects on a custom view
Then my NSTextField is a subview of my custom view but still displays with a background, that's the behavior i don't want. Can this be fixed somehow?

In your gradient view make sure that you are dealing with the invalidated rect of - drawRect: correctly. By default your receive the invalidated rect - which may be the view frame. When you click on the NSSearchField the superview will be requested to redraw the background behind the NSSearchField. If your gradient view simply fills the NSRect it receives in - drawRect: this will have the effect of generating a smaller gradient behind the NSSearchField.

Re: NSControl objects on a custom view
That's what i thought at first, but i seem to fill the whole [self bounds] with the gradient. On a sidenote, if i put a custom NSSearchfield onto my custom gradient view, the behavior is more obvious then with a default NSSearchfield, am i overlooking something in the NSSearchFieldCell behavior also?
