Hi all, We have a layer-hosting view that needs to contain a field editor. Opinion is split on whether adding subviews to a layer-hosting (*not* layer-backed) view is allowed but frowned upon [1,2] or just plain verboten [n,n+1].
In our layer-hosting view, we configure the view's layer with geometryFlipped=YES so that we can lay out the view's contents from top-to-bottom. We perform no layer customization on our field editor. When we add the field editor as the subview of our view, it appears mirrored around our view's middle horizontal axis (that is, a field editor that should appear at the top of the view appears upside-down at the bottom of the view). Should this not work? Is it a bug that perhaps AppKit does not check for flippedness when assigning the field editor a layer? Is there a recommended alternative approach? Perviously our flipped layer was a sublayer of an AppKit-assigned layer, but violating the "don't mess with layer-backed view layers" rule gave us many problems and we resolved to go about this the right way. I suppose I could make the flipped layer a sublayer of a separate empty hosted layer, thus making the flipped layer and the field editor's layer peers. --Kyle Sluder [1]: http://lists.apple.com/archives/Cocoa-dev/2008/Nov/msg00902.html [2]: http://lists.apple.com/archives/quartz-dev/2009/Apr/msg00063.html [3]: http://lists.apple.com/archives/Cocoa-dev/2009/Apr/msg01266.html [4]: http://lists.apple.com/archives/cocoa-dev/2008/Nov/msg01856.html _______________________________________________ Cocoa-dev mailing list (Cocoa-dev@lists.apple.com) Please do not post admin requests or moderator comments to the list.
