It sounds like you don't know what an NSQuickDrawView is. It's for
embedding QuickDraw, Carbon's deprecated drawing technology brought
over from the classic Mac OS, in the Cocoa view system. If you aren't
using QuickDraw then you have no reason to use this view.

If you *do* need to use this view, then you need to actually use
QuickDraw to draw in it, rather than Cocoa drawing. How to fill a view
with red using QuickDraw is beyond the scope of this list.
