What's the easiest way to hide an NSControl?
The usual answer is to remove it from its superview. However, you
should seriously consider whether you should be hiding a control in the
first place... users often find user-interface elements that vanish
confusing; especially if it isn't obvious how to get them back again.
(I had an experience exactly like this the other day with Apple's Shark
tool... I lost the PPC970 instruction group display ;-) [found it again
now, though].)
Kind regards,
Alastair.
