Another approach would be to try changing the class of your content
view in Interface builder. Simply click the background of the
window, that should show the content view in the inspector. Go to
the "Identity" tab and change the class to NSImageView. Then you can
probably just do
[(NSImageView*)[myWindow contentView] setImage: [[[NSImage alloc]
initWithContentsOfFile: path] autorelease]];
I had the same thought but when I tried it (and added a call to
setImageScaling:) the image didn't appear. I wonder what I'm doing
wrong:
- (void)awakeFromNib
{
NSLog(@"-[AppDelegate awakeFromNib]");
NSImage *whiteRoomImage = [NSImage imageNamed:@"WhiteRoom"];
NSImageView *backgroundImageView = (NSImageView *)[_imageWindow
contentView];
NSLog(@"image: %@", whiteRoomImage);
NSLog(@"contentView: %@", [_imageWindow contentView]);
[backgroundImageView setImageScaling:NSScaleToFit];
[backgroundImageView setImage:whiteRoomImage];
}
Yet another approach would be to use IB to add an image view as a
subview of the window's content view, and use autoresizing to have it
always fill the content view. The benefit of this approach is that
you can see the background image in IB, so you can see what it looks
like as you lay out its subviews.
