Make NSView NOT clip subviews outside of its bound

Question

Is it possible to make an NSView not clip its subviews that are outside of the bounds? On iOS I would simply set clipsToBounds of my UIView no NO. But NSView doesn't have such a property. I tried experimenting with wantsLayer, masksToBounds, wantsDefaultClipping, but all of these seem to only change the clipping of the drawRect method, not the subviews.

Answer 1

For people looking for equivalent swift code:
Add this code to a subClass of NSView:

override var wantsDefaultClipping:Bool{return false}//avoids clipping the view

You don't have to change the parent. as long as the parent has a big enough clipping area. But its convenient to also add this variable to the parent.
