Views aren't like windows in Cocoa. That's the short answer.

The long answer is that windows can be overlapped, but views cannot be overlapped reliably; views are /nested/ instead. Whatever it is that you're doing, don't rely on the order in which your views are added to a hierarchy, and don't overlap views. Nest them instead.

Hello all!

I'm trying to figure out if there's a way to change the order of views in a window dynamically.

When I create a window, I can set its order relatively to another window by calling [NSWindow addChildWindow:ordered:]. At run-time, I can change the windows z-order by calling [NSWindow orderBack:], [NSWindow orderFront:], or [NSWindow orderWindow:relativeTo:].

With views, I can set their order at the moment of creation by calling [NSView addSubview:positioned:relativeTo:]. But I can't find a function to change the order of views at run-time. Am I just blind for not seeing the proper method, :) or is this task more complicated and it doesn't imply just one line of the code? If so, can anybody drop me a hint concerning how this can be done?

Best regards,
Sergey Shapovalov.
