The rectangle passed to -drawRect: is the rectangle in the view's own coordinate system that needs to be redrawn. It can be any size depending on how much redrawing is needed.


Perhaps you want NSDrawGroove([self bounds],[self bounds]);

I am also not sure that NSDrawGroove is still supported. It is a hold over from NeXTstep and probably does not have the Aqua look.

Hi all,

I've started to play around with a simple custom view. I have an interface with a text field and
right from it a custom view with the dimensions 310 x 150.

The only method I've implemented so far is:

-(void) drawRect:(NSRect)rect
{
NSLog(@"%f %f",rect.size.width,rect.size.height);

// draw border

NSDrawGroove(rect,rect);
}

When the window is created the border is drawn and the size reported is 310 x 150. Now I enter
something in the text field and make the window inactive. Another border is drawn in my custom
view with the dimensions 310 * 25 !!!??? What's going on here? 25 is exactly the height of the
text field. If I add another text field below the first one and repeat the procedure a border is drawn
on my custom view which matches exactly the lower edge of the second text field. Any Ideas?
