Views are defined by their frame/bounds rectangles. But there's nothing to stop you from setting a round-cornered clipping path at the start of your view's drawRect method to clip the view's content to a round-cornered rect. Since the view draws nothing by default, the fact that the "real" edge is a rectangle will not be apparent.

Unfortunately the OP is still going to find things difficult. A lot of Apple's standard views, such as NSTableView/NSScrollView seem to set their own custom clipping path during drawing which overrides anything you set, so it's not as straightforward as it might seem.


I agree with Kyle, it is probably a good idea to rethink the design.
