Hi, Greg,

Sibling views are not officially supported in currently-shipping versions of Mac OS X. More specifically, clipping is not enforced among such views. Thus the redrawing underneath your overlay is likely to end up with drawing artifacts.

I would definitely suggest finding a way to do this using subviews, rather than sibling views.

Cheers,
	Andrew

I'm using NSViewAnimation to slide an overlay view into place based on some user interaction and it works great. The problem is that views under this overlay are being redrawn and it makes the overlay view look pretty bad. In some cases I've been able to fix this by immediately changing the firstResponder to the new view, but in some cases this isn't working. For instance, I have a button that triggers this view to slide in and the button ends up underneath the view, but is redrawn even after the view slides in so the result is that there's a whole in the overlay view where the button icon is drawn.

Any advice would be much appreciated.
