macOS NSTextFieldCell?

[Blakeasd]

Hello
I am recreating the look of Apple's calculator app. I am using a method called
NSDrawNinePartImage()
I am trying to draw inside the text fields cell, so I created a rect called
bounds It looks like this:

NSRect bounds = [self bounds];

This is inside a NSTextFieldCell's drawRect: method. I get an error however saying method bounds not found. Why am I getting this error. Can I not get bounds in a NSTextFieldCell?
Thanks

Try the docs. IIRC, NSView subclasses have bounds, NSCell subclasses do not.

Note that this might be an ideal situation to use a NSMatrix, you might check those out.
