I wonder why it always fails whenever I try to set the autoresizingMask to an NSView object programmatically? In the following lines of code, I have a tiny, blue NSVIew object (topLeftView) set at the top-left corner of its parent container.
class ViewController: NSViewController {
// MARK: - IBOutlet
@IBOutlet weak var panView: PanView!
override func viewDidLoad() {
super.viewDidLoad()
makeImageContainer(point: CGPoint.zero)
}
func makeViewContainer(point: CGPoint) {
let myView = NSView(frame: CGRect(origin: CGPoint.zero, size: CGSize(width: 150.0, height: 150.0))
myView.wantsLayer = true
if let myLayer = myView.layer {
myLayer.backgroundColor = NSColor.orange.cgColor
}
panView.addSubview(myView) // panView is an IBOutlet-connected `NSView` object.
/* tiny, blue `NSView` object */
let topLeftView = NSView(frame: CGRect(origin: CGPoint(x: 0.0, y: 150.0 - 6.0), size: CGSize(width: 6.0, height: 6.0)))
topLeftView.wantsLayer = true
topLeftView.autoresizingMask = [.minXMargin, .maxYMargin]
if let layer = topLeftView.layer {
layer.backgroundColor = NSColor.blue.cgColor
}
myView.addSubview(topLeftView)
}
}
So it has minXMargin and maxYMargin autoresizingMasks.
Now, I want to click on a push button to resize this orange NSView container object to see if the tiny, blue NSView object will stick at the top-left corner.
@IBAction func testClicked(_ sender: NSButton) {
for i in 0..<panView.subviews.count {
let subView = panView.subviews[i]
if i == 4 {
subView.setFrameSize(CGSize(width: 200.0, height: 200.0))
}
}
}
And the tiny guy has moved by 50 points to the right and 50 points to the bottom. What am I doing wrong? Thanks.
