Hi, I’m trying to get a screensaver view loaded from a bundle to display in the window of my NSPreferencePane. With this code I get a black box:

-(void) didSelect { SSBundle = [NSBundle bundleWithPath:@”/Users/josephduchesne/Library/Screen Savers/uDG Screensaver.saver”]; NSLog(@”Bundle Info\n%@”,[ [ SSBundle infoDictionary ] description ] ); Class SSBundleClass=[ SSBundle principalClass ]; newView = [[SSBundleClass alloc] initWithFrame:NSMakeRect(251,111,320,240) isPreview:YES]; self mainView] addSubview:newView]; [newView startAnimation]; }

but as soon as I call [newView animateOneFrame]; I get the following errors:

*** Assertion failure in -[uDGScreenSaver lockFocus], [[AppKit.subproj/NSView.m:3248

lockFocus sent to a view whose window is deferred and does not yet have a corresponding platform window

I the window IS being displayed, although I believe it is deferred, it is on screen and thus that shouldn’t be a problem. I know this can be done because, of course, Apple did it.

Basically I just want newView to draw in [self mainView], but it seems that locking the focus (as screensavers are supposed to) can’t work in the given conditions.

How should I fix this?
