Thanks Rich, but if I do what you recommended, I guess I would not be able to use all the NSView extra stuff defined by the existing NSView mapping (constants, custom methods etc..).
Wouldn't be better to make each mapping a mixin? That would allow us to reuse some default settings and subclassing a mapped class would give us all the mapping goodies. - Matt On Tue, Feb 17, 2009 at 4:33 AM, Richard Kilmer <r...@infoether.com> wrote: > This is how I would do it: > > class MyNewView < NSView > > def drawRect(rect) > end > > end > > HotCocoa::Mappings.map :my_new_view => :"MyNewView" do > defaults :frame => DefaultEmptyRect, :layout => {} > > def init_with_options(view, options) > view.initWithFrame options.delete(:frame) > end > end > > Then in your code you can just use it like any HotCocoa mapped class: > > my_new_view :frame => [0,0,10,10] > > etc. > > -rich > > > > On Feb 17, 2009, at 4:15 AM, Matt Aimonetti wrote: > > I'm working on a new HotCocoa sample and I need to subclass NSView to >> override drawRect and add few more methods. >> I would like to be able to reuse all the goodies from HotCocoa and the >> view helper, what's the best way to do that? >> >> -Matt >> _______________________________________________ >> MacRuby-devel mailing list >> MacRuby-devel@lists.macosforge.org >> http://lists.macosforge.org/mailman/listinfo.cgi/macruby-devel >> > > _______________________________________________ > MacRuby-devel mailing list > MacRuby-devel@lists.macosforge.org > http://lists.macosforge.org/mailman/listinfo.cgi/macruby-devel >
