There is not enough information to give you much help. Post your code.

ok, here is one of the action methods. the other 2 are exactly the same, except they are assigned to the other 2 sliders, and the name of the variable is different. all 3 variables are declared as double in the top of the implementation file.


- (IBAction)setDec:(id)sender {
viewDec = (double) [sender floatValue]; // this line works perfectly
[self setNeedsDisplay:YES]; //this one is executed but has no visible effect at all.
[self display]; //same here
}

It seems a little strange that an NSView subclass has IBActions/ IBOutlets... yet the above code seems to imply that.


Can you please outline which classes contain which methods and which is the NSView subclass? Also can you describe how they are connected / instantiated in the nib?

Given what you have posted so far I believe you are not sending the setNeedsDisplay: message to an instance of your view that is actually in the view hierarchy of your window but one that is either instantiated off by itself in the nib or instantiated in code (and not the one in the view hierarchy).

Using the debugger to note the address of the instances involved would help detect this type of issue as would using logging (for example NSLog(@"%s - %p", __FUNCTION__, self);)
