Such as? The NSButton objects often overlap (it's frame is much larger than is shown). Yet there are no issues.

Actually, I think this could be better settled if someone could show a case of overlapping views becoming a problem having an issue rather than people quoting documentation other people are misreading.

If an Apple employee with access to the source code (Scott Anguish) tells me that overlapping views are not supported or recommended, that's good enough for me.

Exactly. And, while I no longer have the code or nibs, I have indeed had issues with overlapping views.


For a custom UI, I attempted to do once do this:

(*) Choice A
    [ ] abc
    [ ] xyz
( ) Choice B
    [field]

Here, I had a custom radio button set (NSMatrix subclass). Directly on top of (i.e. not a subview of), I sandwiched in two checkboxes and an edit field.

The UI I wanted was to basically have a radio button control the enabled state of its 'child' controls.

I have long since changed this to:

(*) Choice A
( ) Choice B
    <tabless tab view containing child controls>

where the radio button pair now doesn't overlap at all. The selected radio button selects the appropriate tab view's tab (thus showing the controls for a particular choice).
