I have a UIView subclass that I manipulate a lot of graphics on based on touches. All the [self setNeedsDisplay] calls seem to be fine.
However, I used an instance variable pointer to my same UIView subclass instance, and then tried manipulating it and then calling [UIViewSubClass setNeedsDisplay] from another UIView class, and DrawRect is never being called. Are there restrictions to where you can call setNeedsDisplay from?
(This method is called when a button is clicked on another UIView subclass. The method is being called, but not DrawRect)
-(IBAction)loadGrid2;
{
tempSoundArray = musicGridView1.soundArray;
[musicGridView1.soundArray setButtonArrayToNull];
[musicGridView1 setNeedsDisplay];
musicGridView1.soundArray = tempSoundArray;
NSLog(@"loadGrid2 was called");
}

drawRect: will only be called when it makes sense; ie, the view must be visible, onscreen, and dirty. Is your drawRect: ever called? It should be called when the view is first brought onscreen as well.
