Re: Releasing a sub-view

You should release theView once you have added it to its superview, thus:

[ssView addSubview:theView];
[theView release];

Then, if you want to reuse it, you should retain it before removing it:

[theView retain];
[theView removeFromSuperviewWithoutNeedingDisplay];

As for the "white flash", this is presumably your window redrawing without theView. The documentation for NSView states that -removeFromSuperview should never be invoked during display. Use -removeFromSuperviewWithoutNeedingDisplay instead.

Hope this helps

Hi,
I create a custom NSView
theView = [[XAView alloc] initWithFrame:theFrame];
now theView has retainCount = 1;
then I add it to a ScreenSaverView
[ssView addSubview:theView];
now theView has retainCount = 2;

when the ScreenSaverView calls
- (void)stopAnimation
{
[theView release];
[super stopAnimation];
}

theView has not been released because it has still retainCount = 1.
Anyway I see a good fade-out of the screen-saver. Instead if I call
- (void)stopAnimation
{
[theView removeFromSuperview];
[theView release];
[super stopAnimation];
}

theView has been released properly.
The problem is that when theView has been removed from the superview
I see a white flash on the screen. Then I see the fade-out.
How to avoid this annoying white flash?


Best Regards
