I Love View
I Love View, I Love View Thinkin' back on all the things that we've been through Sometimes I take for granted, all the many things you do So let me take this moment, just to say that I Love View. (Spoken) NSView
They say that opposites attract and so I guess that makes some sense I'm not big on parties, but you love handling events I can't draw Tippy the Turtle, no, nor Pete the Pirate too, But once you lock your focus there's no drawing you can't do.
I Love View, I Love View And all the subclasses in your retinue (Spoken) Look it up! Sometimes I take for granted, all those many things you do So let me count the reasons, why I say that I love view.
Well…
You got buttons and sliders, Split view dividers You never sent a rumor into Apple Insider Handling the drag drop, Printing like you can't stop Tool tips, isFlipped makes you do the flip flop Menus in a context, Cursor and tracking rects You draw the focus ring when the user selects Device independence, Responder chain ascendance and Accessibility too
I Love View, I Love View It's a simple love, not much hullabaloo I once sent you a greeting card, by Maya Angelou The words were mighty flowery, But the gist was 'I Love View'
Find more lyrics at ※ Mojim.com Well I don't like to say you're easy, I regard you with respect But it's easy to start drawin', I just implement -drawRect: And then when something changes, I just say -setNeedsDisplay: You record what needs updating, And redraw it as you may
Now on that keyboard over yonder, there might be a typing sound If you are the First Responder, you'll be messaged with -keyDown: As for handling a mouse, that's been running round your bounds I can build a better mousetrap With -mouseUp: -mouseDragged: -mouseDown:
I Love View, I Love View That's why I have your API as a tattoo You've been adding lots of features, 'specially since 10.2 I'm running out of places to display that I Love View
Well…
Core Animation, has a reputation for turning a head or two It's so dang good, stuck it under the hood Of every layer backed NSView
I Love View, I Love View Let me tell you one thing more, just entre nous I might flirt with other classes, oh but in the end I'm true 'cuz you won't be drawin' a damn thing, If you ain't got NSView
(Spoken) I Love View!
