How to get native NSView reference from SWT Composite [message #821728]

Seems like this should be as straightforward on OSX as it is on Windows (and I bet it is), but for the life of me I can't find a way to get a native reference to the native NSView associated with an SWT Composite. Said another way, how do I get access to the native NSView on OSX like "int hWnd = compositeInstance.handle;" on Windows?

Thanks,

Brian

You are looking for Control.view. But as the javadoc says "This field is not intended to be referenced by clients".

Thanks, but my understanding is that Control.view is an instance of org.eclipse.swt.internal.cocoa.NSView, but what I'm trying to find out is how that relates to the native pointer to the actual native NSView.
