how to set background color to IKImageBrowserView

Question

I am new to cocoa.. I am creating one of the colorful window. so I need set background color to IKImageBrowserView. I think subclassing IKImageBrowserView is the way to set background color but it is too difficult for me.. Any other way to set background color without subclassing?

Answer 1

You can achieve what You want by using setValue:forKey with option key IKImageBrowserBackgroundColorKey like this:

[imageBrowserViewOutlet setValue:[NSColor redColor] forKey:IKImageBrowserBackgroundColorKey];

Note: imageBrowserViewOutlet is IKImageBrowserView outlet.

Answer 2

You can do that by using:

[thumbnailBrowser setValue:[NSColor colorWithDeviceRed:0.125f green:0.145f blue:0.145f alpha:1.0f]   forKey:IKImageBrowserBackgroundColorKey];

Change RGB as you like. thumbnailBrowser is IKImageBrowserView. Gook luck!
