I too am working on a custom ruler view. There is a method "requiredThickness" that is queried by the scroll view. The size will be set correctly ONCE, and again queried and set each time the NSScrollView is resized using the resize box.

My rulers can grow programmatically (on a drop actually) and I have been trying to get the scroll view to lay out the components on command. There is even a method documented to do this "tile" that does get called when it is resized (and is the method that calls requiredThickness). But, I have been unable to get it to resize the ruler view area unless it is being resized from the resize box.

I have tried calling "tile", and both methods for resizing the view (resizeSubviewsOldSize, resizeWithOldSuperviewSize:), all to no avail.

1) the method signature is --> + <-- (void) setRulerViewClass:(Class)aClass

the "plus" tells you, that the method is a class method: you can only call it on classes (here [NSScrollView setRulerViewClass:yourclass])

2) the argument for the above method is of type (Class), NOT (id) [which would be an object]. You can not pass your ruler object! You have to pass [MyRulerView class]


Thanks, Marco.

The reason I am subclassing NSRulerView is I want to modify what is drawn in it. This I do in drawRect, and it works fine - this also confirms that the custom ruler is created. Also, I want it to be wider than the standard size. So what I first tried was to override initWithFrame and use setFrameSize to adjust the width, but that didn't work. The code was not even executed I noticed when stepping through the debugger. I then tried setting the frame of myRulerView after calling setRulerViewClass:


MyRulerView *ruler = [scroller verticalRulerView];
NSRect r = [ruler frame];
r.size.width = 50;

[ruler setFrameSize:r.size];


Again that didn't change the size, although I can see in the debugger that the framesize has changed. How/where should I call this?

thanks again,

- Koen.
