This is question-about-display in view mode; [Up]


Date: Sun 17-Aug-1989 19:30:54 From: Unknown Subject: question about display Is there some reason that the View methods "display" and "display::" are "equivalent" to calls to "display:::" with preset parameters, rather than ACTUAL calls to this method? I've been having some difficulty trying to implement some dragging routines while still using drawSelf::, and though I replaced display::: (with another method that just prints out a note that it is being called, then calls [super display:::), this method never gets called. Instead, gdb reveals the some system internal routine starting with _display:: is called instead to handle the traversal down the view hierarchy and calls to drawSelf::. Needless to say, this makes customization of my subclass of View rather difficult. Comments, anyone? Dave (combs@sumex-aim.stanford.edu) >From: lane@sumex-aim.stanford.edu (Christopher Lane)
