First thing's first, do you have a reason you're not using Interface Builder for this? > Can you please point as to what I am doing wrong.

Except that you're going to wind up leaking subView because you +alloc it, then hand it off to the content view and never release it. The static analyzer should have warned you about this. > NSView * drawView = subView; // subView This is unnecessary. You might as well just keep using the subView variable. > [drawView lockFocus]; > [[NSColor grayColor] set]; > NSRectFill([drawView bounds]); > [drawView unlockFocus]; This is not how views are drawn in Cocoa.
