Switching Contents of NSView
Hi Everyone: I am making an application that has a choice of what function the user wants to perform. When the user clicks on their choice, I want a NSView to take on the contents of a specific nib file. I assume there must be a way (hopefully) easy that this is accomplished with, as most applications must do something like this with their user interface.

Re: Switching Contents of NSView
You're right, I was looking in the wrong place. A good Google search (versus the built in documentation) did the trick. For future reference, it's under NSBundle Additions versus the plain NSBundle.

Re: Switching Contents of NSView
If you are suggesting Google was the right place to look, unfortunately you are mistaken. Directly underneath the toolbar of the documentation window should be a scope bar that attempts to help you find the information you're looking for. Perhaps you're searching the documentation by Title instead of by API? If I search by API and type loadNibNamed I immediately get the NSBundle Additions API, however if I search by Title I get nothing. Hope this helps, Kiel On 06/07/2009, at 8:55 AM, Pierce Freeman wrote: You're right, I was looking in the wrong place. A good Google search (versus the built in documentation) did the trick.

Re: Switching Contents of NSView
I am finally reverting to using NSView's replaceSubview:with: command. The only problem is that when I run this command partnered with addSubview, it removes the view from the window where I placed it originally. This is problematic when I try to go back and forth between views as the application can no longer find the view and then crashes. Any suggestions? On 7/5/09 3:21 PM, I.

Re: Switching Contents of NSView
Make sure you heed this part of the documentation: This method causes oldView to be released; if you plan to reuse it, be sure to retain it before sending this message and to release it as appropriate when adding it as a subview of another NSView. --Andy On Jul 5, 2009, at 7:26 PM, Pierce Freeman wrote: I am finally reverting to using NSView's replaceSubview:with: command.
