\class QMacCocoaViewContainer
\since 4.5
\brief The QMacCocoaViewContainer class provides a widget for Mac OS X that can be used to wrap arbitrary
Cocoa views (i.e., NSView subclasses) and insert them into Qt hierarchies.
\ingroup advanced
While Qt offers a lot of classes for writing your application, Apple's
Cocoa framework offers lots of functionality that is not currently in Qt or
may never end up in Qt. Using QMacCocoaViewContainer, it is possible to put an
arbitrary NSView-derived class from Cocoa and put it in a Qt hierarchy.
Depending on how comfortable you are with using objective-C, you can use
QMacCocoaViewContainer directly, or subclass it to wrap further functionality
of the underlying NSView.
QMacCocoaViewContainer works regardless if Qt is built against Carbon or
Cocoa. However, QCocoaContainerView requires Mac OS X 10.5 or better to be
used with Carbon.
It should be also noted that at the low level on Mac OS X, there is a
difference between windows (top-levels) and view (widgets that are inside a
window). For this reason, make sure that the NSView that you are wrapping
doesn't end up as a top-level. The best way to ensure this is to make sure
you always have a parent and not set the parent to 0.
If you are using QMacCocoaViewContainer as a sub-class and are mixing and
matching objective-C with C++ (a.k.a. objective-C++). It is probably
simpler to have your file end with \tt{.mm} than \tt{.cpp}. Most Apple tools will
correctly identify the source as objective-C++.
QMacCocoaViewContainer requires knowledge of how Cocoa works, especially in
regard to its reference counting (retain/release) nature. It is noted in
the functions below if there is any change in the reference count. Cocoa
views often generate temporary objects that are released by an autorelease
pool. If this is done outside of a running event loop, it is up to the
developer to provide the autorelease pool.
The following is a snippet of subclassing QMacCocoaViewContainer to wrap a NSSearchField.
