[Rubycocoa-talk] subclassing NSView

[Tim P. <he...@ti...>]

Hey Guys

I am subclassing NSView to try and make a toolbar like the one in  
iPhoto (the one which runs accross the bottom quarter of the window,  
holiding the operation buttongs like "Play" and "Search"). I took a  
look at what apple had done with iPhoto and it seems they subclassed  
NSView, then subclassed there new subclass calling it IPToolbar. I  
would look to replicate this, so i have subclassed NSView setting the  
background colour with no problem.

So my question is, if i had an array of items (NSMutableArray), how  
would I add and remove items from my view? Would this just be like  
adding and removing any other object? I have not done anything with  
rolling your own views before, so im at a bit of a loss on the actual  
implementation code..

Also, are there any performance issues in making the view code go  
over the bridge? I see the RubyCocoaStickies example which seems to  
work fine using RC for the view implementations.

Would anyone be able to push me in the right direction? Any help  
would be greatly appreciated!

Cheers

Tim
