NSTextField over NSOpenGLView

Question

I have made a window with an NSOpenGLView that I am rendering openGL content into.

I want to add some buttons and text fields to the view: I can add NSTextFields and NSB

Answer 1

This was my solution:

1) Create a parent NSView (let's call it parentView).

2) Add an NSOpenGLView Child to parentView.

3) Add an additional NSView Child to parentView (make sure this is after the OpenGLView within the hierarchy). You can add additional TextFields, etc. to this view.

4) In the ViewController for the parent make sure you call [parentView setWantsLayer: TRUE]; I did this within -(void) viewWillAppear
