Re: NSView positioning problems
Quincey you were right on the money: the new view had a wrong flag (anchored to the bottom).

I've read the documentation about NSView and it's companion guide but it's a big chunk to swallow and I would like to see a simple example on where to put the code for replacing a view. In both cases, you can't just replace or insert a view and hope its frame will be correct. If you want to replace the custom view, you need to: 1) Get the frame of the custom view 2) Set this frame to be the one of your replacement view (better if done before adding the view) If you want to insert your view inside the custom view, you need to: 1) Get the bounds of the custom view 2) Set these bounds to be the frame of your view (better if done before adding the view). ___ Cocoa-dev mailing list (Cocoa-dev@lists.apple.com) Please do not post admin requests or moderator comments to the list.
