OS X version of bringSubviewToFront:?

Question

I need to replicate the function of bringSubviewToFront: on the iPhone, but I am programming on the Mac. How can this be done?

Answer 1

Haven't actually tried this out - and there may be better ways to do it - but this should work:

NSView* superview = [view superview];  
[view removeFromSuperview];  
[superview addSubview:view];  

This will move 'view' to the front of its siblings

Answer 2

also be sure to enable the layer for quartz rendering:

...
NSImageView *anImage = [[NSImageView alloc] initWithFrame:NSRectMake(0,0,512,512)];
[anImageView setWantsLayer:YES];
...

otherwise, your layer cannot be rendered correctly.
