Re: Best way to get NSImage for NSWindow?



Hi Glenn - thanks for the response. I'm not troubled by how to turn the NSView into an NSImage. Rather, I'm concerned about how I get the NSView in the first place. Once I have the NSView, I'm comfortable. The problem is that I have to use an unsupported technique at the moment to get at the "borderView" of the window.

I need to get an NSView of my window, including its frame. At the moment I'm using the undocumented "_borderView" to access the NSWindow's private view. This works great, but I wonder if I'm overlooking an alternate solution that works and is also supported by Apple? I thought about asking for a well-known view, like the zoom button, and then asking for its superview, but that seems more fragile than what I'm doing now.

Perhaps there is some Quartz-level way of getting at the bitmap for an entire window? Any suggestions appreciated.
