Wow,

Thanks for all the help :-)

Now I know why I joined this list ;-)

Thanks,
Oliver

Hi Oliver,

Thanks a lot for that code, it does exactly what I want. Now I need to figure out the RGB value :-)

I'm pleased, that you like it. =)
-Please note: If you use NSRectFill, you will get a solid fill, but NSRectFillUsingOperation will allow it to be translucent. =)
I believe there's a NSFrameRectUsingOperation as well, which I'm sure would just draw the outline-box itself, but if you want a title, you would probably generate a path (draw one line at a time, because it's faster than adding all and then stroking that rect)...

if(!path) // path would be a member of the GroupView class, so that we don't waste time initializing it each time.
{
path = [[[NSBezierPath alloc] init] retain];
[path setLineCapStyle:NSRoundLineCapStyle];
[path setLineJoinStyle:NSRoundLineJoinStyle];
[path setMiterLimit:4.0];
}

// repeat the following code for the 4 lines:

[path moveToPoint:pt1];
[path lineToPoint:pt2];
[path stroke]; // Uhm, I don't know if there is a strokeUsingOperation, check that out.
[path removeAllPoints];


// removing all points is faster than deallocating and reallocating.

If the above doesn't work well, you could construct the 4 lines of NSRectFillUsingOperation, with heights or widths set to 1 pixel. This might be easier to overview. =)

- (void)drawRect:(NSRect)rect
{
[[NSColor colorWithCalibratedRed:1.0 green:0.0 blue:0.0 alpha:0.1] set];
NSRectFillUsingOperation(rect, NSCompositeSourceOver);
}

I would like to change the colour of the default line NSBox, is this possible without creating a complete replica myself?

Love,
Jens
