NSViewMBS.allowsVibrancy as Boolean

When allowsVibrancy returns YES, the view will have an appropriate measure taken to ensure it is vibrant on top of its given material.
Specific subclasses, such as NSControl, will answer this question based on the artwork they draw for a given appearance.

NSViewMBS.alphaValue as Double

// makes a checkbox half transparent on Cocoa target:
CheckBox1.NSViewMBS.alphaValue = 0.5

This method returns the value of the opacity property of the view's layer. Possible values are between 0.0 (transparent) and 1.0 (opaque). The default is 1.0.

Sending this message to a view that is not managing a Core Animation layer causes an exception.

NSViewMBS.autoresizingMask as Integer

If the autoresizing mask is equal to NSViewNotSizable (that is, if none of the options are set), then the receiver doesn't resize at all in resizeWithOldSuperviewSize.

NSViewNotSizable = 0	The receiver cannot be resized.
NSViewMinXMargin = 1	The left margin between the receiver and its superview is flexible.
NSViewWidthSizable = 2	The receiver's width is flexible.
NSViewMaxXMargin = 4	The right margin between the receiver and its superview is flexible.
NSViewMinYMargin = 8	The bottom margin between the receiver and its superview is flexible.
NSViewHeightSizable = 16	The receiver's height is flexible.
NSViewMaxYMargin = 32	The top margin between the receiver and its superview is flexible.

NSViewMBS.canDraw as boolean

Use this method when invoking a draw method directly along with lockFocus and unlockFocus, bypassing the display... methods (which test drawing ability and perform locking for you). If this method returns false, you shouldn't invoke lockFocus or perform any drawing.

A view object can draw on-screen if it is not hidden, it is attached to a view hierarchy in a window (NSWindow), and the window has a corresponding window device. A view object can draw during printing if it is a descendant of the view being printed.

To draw into a NSView, use either CustomNSViewMBS class with drawRect event or NSGraphicsMBS class.

NSViewMBS.focusRingType as Integer

This method only sets the desired focus ring type and does not cause the view to draw the actual focus ring. You are responsible for drawing the focus ring in your view's drawRect method whenever your view is made the first responder.

NSFocusRingTypeDefault	0
NSFocusRingTypeNone	1

NSViewMBS.identifier as string

It should be set to a unique value on NSViews when they are intended to be used inside a view-based NSTableView. Identifiers should be unique per-window. For programmatically created user interface items, you would typically set this value in code after creating a control but before adding it to a window. You may also want to set an identifier on a window, after creating it programmatically, to identify the window easily when it is reopened. You should not change the identifier after a control is added to a window. Identifiers beginning with an underscore are reserved for the system. In framework classes that implement this protocol, the accessor methods are not intended to be overridden.

To help avoid collision of identifiers, it is recommended that identifiers use the same prefix as is used for the framework or application. For example, identifiers for standard AppKit interface items, such as the open panel, will begin with "NS".

The slash '/', backslash '\', and colon ':' characters are reserved and should not be used in identifiers.

NSViewMBS.isRotatedOrScaledFromBase as Boolean

The intent of this information is to optimize drawing and coordinate calculation, not necessarily to reflect the exact state of the receiver's coordinate system, so it may not reflect the actual rotation or scaling. For example, if an NSView object is rotated to 45 degrees and later back to 0, this method still returns true.

NSViewMBS.layer as Variant

Value is a CALayerMBS. We use variant to reduce dependency to other plugins.

Available in OS X v10.5 and later.
(Read and Write property)

NSViewMBS.layerUsesCoreImageFilters as Boolean

If your view uses a custom layer and you assigned Core Image to that layer directly, you must set this property to YES to let AppKit know of that fact. In macOS 10.9 and later, AppKit prefers to render layer trees out-of-process but cannot do so if any layers have Core Image filters attached to them. Specifying true for property lets AppKit know that it must move rendering of the layer hierarchy back into your app’s process. If the value of this property is false, adding a filter to the view’s layer triggers an exception.

You do not need to modify this property if you assigned the filters using the backgroundFilters, compositingFilter, or contentFilters properties of the view. Those methods automatically let AppKit know that it needs to render the layer hierarchy in-process. Set it only if you set the filters on the layer directly.

NSViewMBS.nextKeyView as NSViewMBS

Returns the view object following the receiver in the key view loop, or nil if there is none.
On setting inserts a specified view object after the receiver in the key view loop of the receiver's window.

NSViewMBS.userInteractionEnabled as Boolean

When set to false, touch, press, keyboard, and focus events intended for the view are ignored and removed from the event queue. When set to YES, events are delivered to the view normally. The default value of this property is true.

During an animation, user interactions are temporarily disabled for all views involved in the animation, regardless of the value in this property. You can disable this behavior by specifying the UIViewAnimationOptionAllowUserInteraction option when configuring the animation.
(Read and Write property)

NSViewMBS.visibleRect as NSRectMBS

Visibility for this method is defined quite simply and doesn't account for whether other NSView objects (or windows) overlap the receiver or whether the receiver has a window at all. This method returns an empty rectangle if the receiver is effectively hidden.

During a printing operation the visible rectangle is further clipped to the page being imaged.

NSViewMBS.wantsDefaultClipping as boolean

Subclasses may override this method to return false if they want to suppress the default clipping. They may want to do this in situations where drawing performance is critical to avoid the cost of setting up, enforcing, and cleaning up the clip path

A view that overrides this method to refuse the default clipping must either set up whatever clipping it requires or constrain its drawing exactly to the list of rectangles returned by getRectsBeingDrawn. Failing to do so could result in corruption of other drawing in the view's window.
(Read only property)

NSViewMBS.wantsLayer as Boolean

True if the view and its subviews should use a Core Animation layer as its backing store, otherwise false.

Requires Mac OS X 10.5.

• /AVFoundation/Donut Video Player Overlay

NSViewMBS.wantsRestingTouches as boolean

A resting touch occurs when a user rests their thumb on a device (for example, the glass trackpad of a MacBook).

By default, these touches are not delivered and are not included in the event's set of touches. Touches may transition in and out of resting at any time. Unless the view wants restingTouches, began / ended events are simulated as touches transition from resting to active and vice versa.

In general resting touches should be ignored.
