I have this NSView *theView with <code>[theView setFrame:NSMakeRect(10, 10, 64, 64)];</code> which positions the view exactly where I want it.</p> <p>But now I am trying to add a NSTextField as a subView to theView but something isn't right. Now the image <em>above is how it should be</em>.</p> <p>Here's my code and what it looks like:</p> <pre><code>primaryDigit = [[NSTextField alloc] init]; [primaryDigit setFrame:NSMakeRect(4, 6, 60, 58)]; [primaryDigit setFont:[NSFont fontWithName:@"Helvetica Neue" size:55]]; [primaryDigit setBezeled:NO]; [primaryDigit setEditable:NO]; [primaryDigit setSelectable:NO]; [primaryDigit setDrawsBackground:NO]; [primaryDigit setTextColor:[NSColor whiteColor]]; [primaryDigit setStringValue:@"2"]; [self addSubview:primaryDigit]; </code></pre> <p><a href="http://f.cl.ly/items/1C3A34241K3s3l2B2U3M/Screen%20Shot%202012-06-29%20at%2012.45.38.png" rel="nofollow noreferrer">wrong http://f.cl.ly/items/1C3A34241K3s3l2B2U3M/Screen%20Shot%202012-06-29%20at%2012.45.38.png</a></p> <p>And when I do <code>[primaryDigit setFrame:NSMakeRect(0, 0, 64, 64)];</code> the digit doesn't end up in the left lower corner but it does this:</p> <p><a href="http://f.cl.ly/items/2Y0X2F0H071M222b2W3P/Screen%20Shot%202012-06-29%20at%2012.49.51.png" rel="nofollow noreferrer">strange http://f.cl.ly/items/2Y0X2F0H071M222b2W3P/Screen%20Shot%202012-06-29%20at%2012.49.51.png</a></p> <p>Is there something fundamental that I don't understand about positioning these views? I'm quite the noobie but I still thought that I understand this. (Btw, the font is different in these images but that shouldn't cause a problem, I think?)</p> <p>Update: as 'dasdom' asked me to, here's the text field with a background colour <a href="http://f.cl.ly/items/463c161r0T3A1D3h0G3G/Screen%20Shot%202012-06-29%20at%2013.45.28.png" rel="nofollow noreferrer">backgroundcolor http://f.cl.ly/items/463c161r0T3A1D3h0G3G/Screen%20Shot%202012-06-29%20at%2013.45.28.png</a></p>

    1. CONSTextField is a container. Try to investigate into this by setting the background color of the text view.

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
