I'm wondering how I should deal with overriding "designated

KeyboardView is a subclass of NSView.
@implementation KeyboardView
- (id)initWithFrame:(NSRect)frame {
self = [super initWithFrame:frame];
if (self) {
// Initialization code here.
}
return self;
}

This is what I came up with so far:
override KeyboardView initWithFrame(NSRect frame) [initWithFrame:] {
//my stuff
return cast(KeyboardView) super.initWithFrame(frame) ;
}
This compiles and does not throw any runtime error, but it's a bit
against the idea, because in Objective-C the idea is to first call the
super class, then adapt and override what is necessary. When calling
super in the very end, this of course is no longer guaranteed.
Can't you just call "super" in the beginning of the method and then call
return "this" at the end. Something like this:
override KeyboardView initWithFrame(NSRect frame) [initWithFrame:] {
super.initWithFrame(frame);
// my stuff
return this;
}
