Oh - I guess I missed that. The custom views I was speaking about simply don't have any drawing code, but I am using -setHidden on other controls in the view. Perhaps that is the source of my problems...

Pre-Panther, how did one go about hiding and showing controls in NSViews?

Either removing them from the superview (and retaining them) and then re-adding them, which can be a pain to keep track of, or moving them out of the visible area in the window (which is also not an optimal solution).

One can also embed it inside a tab view (without a tab at the top), and then switch between that tab item and a blank one.


This has the advantage of handling all the retain issues (an no messing with re-adding them), avoids having to move them, and also properly deals with things like resizing them.

I needed to work in 10.2 and hide controls, so I wrote some code which resized controls to zero width and height. It worked except that the tabbing order didn't change; I was pretty happy with it at the time. I might update to the "secret tab view" approach—it seems like a better technique.
