You normally don't need to program with NSClipViews, as NSScrollView handles most of the details of their operation.
An NSClipView holds the document view of an NSScrollView, clipping the document view to its frame, handling the details of scrolling in an efficient manner, and updating the NSScrollView when the document view's size or position changes. You don't normally use the NSClipView class directly; it's provided primarily as the scrolling machinery for the NSScrollView class. However, you might use the NSClipView class to implement a class similar to NSScrollView.
Interaction With NSScrollView
When using an NSClipView within an NSScrollView (the usual configuration), you should issue messages that control background drawing state to the NSScrollView, rather than messaging the NSClipView directly. This recommendation applies to the following methods:
- backgroundColor
- drawsBackground
The NSClipView methods are intended for when the NSClipView is used independently of a containing NSScrollView. In the usual case, NSScrollView should be allowed to manage the background-drawing properties of its associated NSClipView.
There is only one background-drawing state per NSScrollView/NSClipView pair. The two objects do not maintain independent and distinct drawsBackground and backgroundColor properties; rather, NSScrollView's accessors for these properties largely defer to the associated NSClipView and allow the NSClipView to maintain the state. In Mac OS X v10.2 and earlier system versions, NSScrollView maintained a cache of the last state it set for its NSClipView. If the NSClipView was sent a setDrawsBackground: message directly, the cache might not reflect the state accurately. This caching of state has been removed in Mac OS X v10.3.
It is also important to note that sending a setDrawsBackground message with a parameter of false to an NSScrollView has the added effect of sending the NSClipView a setCopiesOnScroll message with a parameter of false. The side effect of sending the setDrawsBackground message directly to the NSClipView is the appearance of "trails" (vestiges of previous drawing) in the document view as it is scrolled.
You can embed this view in a CustomNSViewMBS to get more events for mouse and keyboard.
