Something you might want to try is using your HIVewRef in a call to Draw1Control if your on a non-composite window. If i remember correctly, an HIViewRef is still just an ControlRef, so Draw1Control should work.

While it was possible in RB 5.2 and OS X 10.2 to let a HiView Control live on a non-composited window, it does not seem to be that way anymore. This is ok though in runtime on a composite window, while it is not ok in design
time, when no other way of drawing the control exists other then
HiViewSetNeedsDisplay. HiViewRender also does not give the desired result.

Because RB does not provide a composite window in design time anymore (5.5),
I was wondering if others have been able to show a HiView control on a
non-composited window, using HiViewSetNeedsDisplay and/or HiViewRender,
while no other drawing routines are involved, other then the routine the OS
would provide.

A related question would be: can rb again provide a composite window in
design time?
