Hi,
when programming AudioUnits (or other audio plugin
interfaces) one has to implement 3 GUI interfaces - embedded, composited
and cocoa. The first 2 are based on HIViews. This ancient stuff doesn't
work very well, its features are limited, and host support is weird at
least. So I'm thinking - would it be possible to use NSViews in all
cases and somehow use them instead of HIViews even if the host asks for
the embedded/composited mode?
I don't want to replace just the drawing, I want to replace
everything. It is just crazy when you have a plugin with 3 different
methods to create GUI, you don't know which host uses what in which
circumstances... So if it would be possible to create NSViews in all
cases and just somehow simulate HIViews with it, but the rest of it
would work using NSViews, it would safe one lots of time and room for
error. I need to support 10.5 and newer, but that shouldn't be a
problem, right?
Does it make sense? Is there a way to do that?
Thanks!
Vojtech
