Hello all,

What is the best way to programmatically create the HIView equivalent of a user pane?
With the Control Manager API can do it in one line:

CreateUserPaneControl( window, &bounds, kControlSupportsEmbedding, &userPane );


Why not just use:

HIObjectCreate (kHIViewClassID, nil, &userPane);

Unless you need to allocate your own custom data per-view or provide some really special processing, just a bare HIView should work fine.

Thanks Scott. So my replacement looks like this (error checking omitted):

void MyHICreateEmbedderPane( WindowRef window, HIRect hiBounds, HIViewRef *userPane )
{
HIViewRef root = HIViewGetRoot( window );


HIObjectCreate( kHIViewClassID, nil, (HIObjectRef *)userPane );


HIViewChangeAttributes( *userPane, kHIViewAllowsSubviews, 0 );

HIViewAddSubview( root, *userPane );

HIViewSetFrame( *userPane, &hiBounds );
}

That's still 5 lines of code to get rid of the Control Manager function.

Jan
