It's possible that this is a side-effect of trying to mess with a window that doesn't really belong to you. The System Preferences scenario is a bit of a special case. Your prefpane is a "guest" here.


At a guess, I would imagine that "mainViewDidLoad" doesn't necessarily mean that the view's been added to the window yet. In which case, [mainView window] would return nil. Have you tested (via NSLog() or the debugger) to verify that you're getting a reference to the window?

You may want to investigate NSView's -viewDidMoveToWindow and try moving the code below to that method.

One final suggestion: Do without the drawer. Users don't expect drawers to appear on the system preferences window. Why should your prefpane be any different?

I am trying to open a drawer attached to the System prefs pane window.

In my nib is a drawer and NSView for the content. I have setup an outlet in
my File's Owner (MyPrefPaneClass) previewDrawer.


I tried setting the parentWindow of the drawer to the PrefPane window in my
nib but that didn't work so in mainViewDidLoad I tried


[previewDrawer setParentWindow:[[self mainView] window]];



A follow-up here...

    [previewDrawer setParentWindow:[[self mainView] window]];

    [previewDrawer open];

Does work, but only in response to a button click. It does not work in
mainViewDidLoad. How can I get the drawer to open upon opening my pref pane?


Thanks,

Trygve
