Or, is a WindowRef outdated? Is that considered "carbon"?
Thanks,

Thanks for the reply.
I think that's the answer to the problem... OpenGL... That should work.
Would be neat if I could turn my NSView into a WindowRef for OpenGL though... (yes, I know, I can subclass and do it in cocoa, but I prefer to do it the other way).
Thanks,
Michael Olsen
