NSWindow
Instances of the NSWindow class handle on-screen
windows, their associated NSViews, and events generate
by the user. An NSWindow's size is defined by its frame
rectangle, which encompasses its entire structure,
and its content rectangle, which includes only the content.
Every NSWindow has a content view, the NSView which forms
the root of the window's view hierarchy. This view can be
set using the setContentView: method, and
accessed through the contentView method.
setContentView: replaces the default
content view created by NSWindow.
Other views may be added to the window by using the
content view's addSubview: method. These
subviews can also have subviews added, forming a tree
structure, the view hierarchy. When an NSWindow must
display itself, it causes this hierarchy to draw
itself. Leaf nodes in the view hierarchy are drawn
last, causing them to potentially obscure views further
up in the hierarchy.
A delegate can be specified for an NSWindow, which will
receive notifications of events pertaining to the
window. The delegate is set using
setDelegate:, and can be retrieved using
delegate. The delegate can restrain
resizing by implementing the
windowWillResize: toSize: method, or
control the closing of the window by implementing
windowShouldClose:.
