  • Simulating a button press without performClick: (cocoa osx/cocotron)

    - by Michael Minerva
    I need to be able to display popup menu when I press an openGL object. I was able to accomplish this by triggering the performClick: of an inviible NSPopupButton and also by triggering the performClickWithFrame:inView: of an NSPopupButtonCell. Both of these methods were successful on OSX but I also need to target the PC and unfortunately performClickWithFrame:inView: is unimplemented in cocotron and performClick does not cause the menu to be displayed when executed on an NSPopupButton (on cocotron). Now there must be someway for this to work because the NSPopupButton does sucesfully display the NSPopupButtonCell when it is clicked but I know it does not accomplish by calling performClick:. Can I access these lower levels methods used by the NSPopupButton to display my menu or force the invisible NSPopupButton to display its menu? If so can anyone link me to some info about this?

  • [Cocoa] Binding CoreData Managed Object to NSTextFieldCell subclass

    - by ndg
    I have an NSTableView which has its first column set to contain a custom NSTextFieldCell. My custom NSTextFieldCell needs to allow the user to edit a "desc" property within my Managed Object but to also display an "info" string that it contains (which is not editable). To achieve this, I followed this tutorial. In a nutshell, the tutorial suggests editing your Managed Objects generated subclass to create and pass a dictionary of its contents to your NSTableColumn via bindings. This works well for read-only NSCell implementations, but I'm looking to subclass NSTextFieldCell to allow the user to edit the "desc" property of my Managed Object. To do this, I followed one of the articles comments, which suggests subclassing NSFormatter to explicitly state which Managed Object property you would like the NSTextFieldCell to edit. Here's the suggested implementation: @implementation TRTableDescFormatter - (BOOL)getObjectValue:(id *)anObject forString:(NSString *)string errorDescription:(NSString **)error { if (anObject != nil){ *anObject = [NSDictionary dictionaryWithObject:string forKey:@"desc"]; return YES; } return NO; } - (NSString *)stringForObjectValue:(id)anObject { if (![anObject isKindOfClass:[NSDictionary class]]) return nil; return [anObject valueForKey:@"desc"]; } - (NSAttributedString*)attributedStringForObjectValue:(id)anObject withDefaultAttributes:(NSDictionary *)attrs { if (![anObject isKindOfClass:[NSDictionary class]]) return nil; NSAttributedString *anAttributedString = [[NSAttributedString alloc] initWithString: [anObject valueForKey:@"desc"]]; return anAttributedString; } @end I assign the NSFormatter subclass to my cell in my NSTextFieldCell subclass, like so: - (void)awakeFromNib { TRTableDescFormatter *formatter = [[[TRTableDescFormatter alloc] init] autorelease]; [self setFormatter:formatter]; } This seems to work, but is extremely patch. On occasion, clicking to edit a row will cause its value to nullify. On other occasions, the value you enter on one row will populate other rows within the table. I've been doing a lot of reading on this subject and would really like to get to the bottom of this. What's more frustrating is that my NSTextFieldCell is rendering exactly how I would like it to. This editing issue is my last obstacle! If anyone can help, that would be greatly appreciated.

  • Tool for debugging KVO/Bindings in Cocoa

    - by Raphael Sebbe
    Is there any tool to log current observers of a given object, in the spirit of what "gdb info gc-roots" does? I found "gdb info gc-references" could do that (sort of) as a by-product of its original purpose, but that won't work with non garbage collected apps. Thanks!

  • Cocoa Touch - setting text of header of UITableView

    - by Mark
    Hey all, I'm trying to set the title of the header of my entire UITableView, but am having no success. For example, on this webpage: http://www.iphonesdkarticles.com/2009/01/uitableview-sectioned-table-view.html I am trying to replicate creating the "Countries" header programmatically. I have a UITableView that works and displays data. When I insert the following line: self.navigationItem.title = @"Countries"; In my viewDidLoad method, nothing happens. Thoughts?

  • Cocoa Core Data - Efficient Related Entities Counts

    - by Gary
    I am working on my first iPhone application and I've hit a wall. I'm trying to develop a 'statistics' page for a three entity relationship. My entities are the following: Department - Name, Address, Building, etc. People - Name, Gender (BOOL), Phone, etc If I have fetched a specific department how do I filter those results and only return people that are Male (Gender == 0)? If I do NSLog(@"%d", [department.people count]); I get the correct number of people in that department so I know I'm in the neighborhood. I know I could re-fetch and modify the predicate each time but with 20+ stats in my app that seems inefficient. Thanks for any advice!

  • Cocoa-Touch Fun. Name the Alphanumerically Longest Method Name?

    - by dugla
    So, as I get comfortable with Cocoa/Cocoa-Touch I, like others can't help but notice the rather verbose method names. What is the absolutely longest method in Cocoa-Touch that you have come across? To kick things off, I submit that perennial favorite from UITableViewController - tableView:accessoryButtonTappedForRowWithIndexPath: Cheers, Doug

  • Changing a view after modalViewController is dismissed (Cocoa Touch)

    - by Calvin L
    I have a viewController that presents a modalViewController when a UINavigationBarItem is touched. After the user is done with the modal view, the modalViewController is dismissed. At this point I want to change/remove the NavigationBarItem -- how would I accomplish this? I was thinking of using viewWillAppear: but I only want the change to happen when the modalViewController is dismissed.

  • Cocoa & Cocoa Touch. How do I create an NSData object from a plain ole pointer?

    - by dugla
    I have malloc'd a whole mess of data in an NSOperation instance. I have a pointer: data = malloc(humungous_amounts_of_god_knows_what); uint8_t* data; How do I package this up as an NSData instance and return it to the main thread? I am assuming that after conversion to an NSData instance I can simply call: free(data); Yes? Also, back on the main thread how do I retrieve the pointer? Thanks, Doug

  • [Cocoa] Core Animation with an NSView and subviews

    - by ndg
    I've subclassed NSView to create a 'container' view (which I've called TRTransitionView) which is being used to house two subviews. At the click of a button, I want to transition one subview out of the parent view and transition the other in, using the Core Animation transition type: kCATransitionPush. For the most part, I have this working as you'd expect (here's a basic test project I threw together). The issue I'm seeing relates to resizing my window and then toggling between my two views. After resizing a window, my subviews will appear at seemingly random locations within my TRTransitionView. Additionally, it appears as if the TRTransitionView hasn't stretched correctly and is clipping the contents of its subviews. Ideally, I would like subviews anchored to the top-left of their parent view at all times, and to also grow to expand the size of the parent view. The second issue relates to an NSTableView I've placed in my first subview. When my window is resized, and my TRTransitionView resizes to match its new dimensions, my TableView seems to resize its content quite awkwardly (the entire table seems to jolt around) and the newly expanded space that the table now occupies seems to 'flash' (as if in the process of being animated). Extremely difficult to describe, but is there any way to stop this? Here's my TRTransitionView class: -(void) awakeFromNib { [self setWantsLayer:YES]; [self addSubview:[self currentView]]; transition = [CATransition animation]; [transition setType:kCATransitionPush]; [transition setSubtype:kCATransitionFromLeft]; [self setAnimations: [NSDictionary dictionaryWithObject:transition forKey:@"subviews"]]; } - (void)setCurrentView:(NSView*)newView { if (!currentView) { currentView = newView; return; } [[self animator] replaceSubview:currentView with:newView]; currentView = newView; } -(IBAction) switchToViewOne:(id)sender { [transition setSubtype:kCATransitionFromLeft]; [self setCurrentView:viewOne]; } -(IBAction) switchToViewTwo:(id)sender { [transition setSubtype:kCATransitionFromRight]; [self setCurrentView:viewTwo]; }

  • Cocoa touch - prepopulate facebook connect publish to feed

    - by teepusink
    Hi, I'm using the iPhone facebook connect package. How do I prepopulate the "publish to feed" example or take out the message field? Something like this one http://www.burnthebox.us/mobile/iPhone/products/disconnect/instructions/images/DisConnect_FB_Publish_Story.png (The default in the example has an input text field) Also what would it take to skin the popup look? Thanks, Tee

  • Cocoa Drag and Drop, reading back the data

    - by kodai
    Ok, I have a NSOutlineView set up, and I want it to capture PDF's if a pdf is dragged into the NSOutlineView. My first question, I have the following code: [outlineView registerForDraggedTypes:[NSArray arrayWithObjects:NSStringPboardType, NSFilenamesPboardType, nil]]; In all the apple Docs and examples I've seen I've also seen something like MySupportedType being an object registered for dragging. What does this mean? Do I change the code to be: [outlineView registerForDraggedTypes:[NSArray arrayWithObjects:@"pdf", NSStringPboardType, NSFilenamesPboardType, nil]]; Currently I have it set up to recognize drag and drop, and I can even make it spit out the URL of the dragged file once the drag is accepted, however, this leads me to my second question. I want to keep a copy of those PDF's app side. I suppose, and correct me if I'm wrong, that the best way to do this is to grab the data off the clipboard, save it in some persistant store, and that's that. (as apposed to using some sort of copy command and literally copying the file to the app director.) That being said, I'm not sure how to do that. I've the code: - (BOOL)outlineView:(NSOutlineView *)ov acceptDrop:(id <NSDraggingInfo>)info item:(id)item childIndex:(NSInteger)childIndex { NSPasteboard *pboard = [info draggingPasteboard]; NSURL *fileURL; if ( [[pboard types] containsObject:NSURLPboardType] ) { fileURL = [NSURL URLFromPasteboard:pboard]; // Perform operation using the file’s URL } NSData *data = [pboard dataForType:@"NSPasteboardTypePDF"]; But this never actually gets any data. Like I said before, it does get the URL, just not the data. Does anyone have any advise on how to get this going? Thanks so much!

  • Cocoa app not launching on build & go but launching manually

    - by Matt S.
    I have quite the interesting problem. Yesterday my program worked perfectly, but now today I'm getting exc_bad_access when I hit build and go, but if I launch the app from the build folder it launches perfectly and there seems to be nothing wrong. The last bunch of lines from the debugger are: #0 0xffff07c2 in __memcpy #1 0x969f7961 in CFStringGetBytes #2 0x96a491b9 in CFStringCreateMutableCopy #3 0x991270cc in -[NSCFString mutableCopyWithZone:] #4 0x96a5572a in -[NSObject(NSObject) mutableCopy] #5 0x9913e6c7 in -[NSString stringByReplacingOccurrencesOfString:withString:options:range:] #6 0x9913e62f in -[NSString stringByReplacingOccurrencesOfString:withString:] #7 0x99181ad0 in -[NSScanner(NSDecimalNumberScanning) scanDecimal:] #8 0x991ce038 in -[NSDecimalNumberPlaceholder initWithString:locale:] #9 0x991cde75 in -[NSDecimalNumberPlaceholder initWithString:] #10 0x991ce44a in +[NSDecimalNumber decimalNumberWithString:] Why did my app work perfectly yesterday but not today?

  • MBProgressHUD for Mac? - Cocoa

    - by Kevin
    Hey there everyone, So I'm used to the iPhone API, and I used MBProgressHUD a lot in my iPhone applications, but since I started developing apps for the Mac I noticed that I can't use MBProgressHUD. Is there an alternative that will do the same job as the MBProgressHUD? I notice that apple has it in their OS as well. If anyone could help me find an alternative for MBProgressHUD, I would greatly appreciate it!! Thanks, Kevin

  • Can I access the Cocoa Accessibility API from with Java on OSX?

    - by sanity
    I need to write an app which can observe and manipulate the positions of windows on screen, and I've been told that this requires using Cocoa's Accessibility API. Unfortunately I'm a Java programmer, and Objective C scares me ;) Is it possible to access this Cocoa API from within Java? I know that back when Apple cared about Java it maintained a "bridge" to cocoa, but I'm not sure if this does what I need. Oh, and my IDE is Eclipse, in case that is relevant.

  • Cocoa multiple threads, locks don't work

    - by Igor
    I have a threadMethod which shows in console robotMotorsStatus every 0.5 sec. But when I try to change robotMotorsStatus in changeRobotStatus method I receive an exception. Where I need to put locks in that program. #import "AppController.h" @implementation AppController extern char *robotMotorsStatus; - (IBAction)runThread:(id)sender { [self performSelectorInBackground:@selector(threadMethod) withObject:nil]; } - (void)threadMethod { char string_to_send[]="QFF001100\r"; //String prepared to the port sending (first inintialization) string_to_send[7] = robotMotorsStatus[0]; string_to_send[8] = robotMotorsStatus[1]; while(1){ [theLock lock]; usleep(500000); NSLog (@"Robot status %s", robotMotorsStatus); [theLock unlock]; } } - (IBAction)changeRobotStatus:(id)sender { robotMotorsStatus[0]='1'; }

  • Cocoa : Scale Image dragged into an ImageWell

    - by Holli
    I am working on application to keep a comic book collection in order. The user should be able to drag an image of the cover artwork into the program via an ImageWell. Since it is not possible to drag the image out of the application again I don't need to save the picture in it's original size. An image at the size of the ImageWell would be just fine. The question is how do I rescale the image with my application? To make things even more complicated the ImageWell is bound with Core Data. So I need to rescale the image before Core Data will save the picture in its original size.

  • A popup button with a static image (Cocoa OSX)

    - by Michael Minerva
    I am trying to make a popup button that always displays a + as its image and when you click on it, a context menu pops up that will allow you to decide what type of object you want to add. Is there anyway to do this using an NSPopupButton? I saw in the specs for NSPopupButotn that the method SetImage has no effect so it seems that this is likely not going to work using this class. Is this correct?

  • how to update UI controls in cocoa application from background thread

    - by AmitSri
    following is .m code: #import "ThreadLabAppDelegate.h" @interface ThreadLabAppDelegate() - (void)processStart; - (void)processCompleted; @end @implementation ThreadLabAppDelegate @synthesize isProcessStarted; - (void)awakeFromNib { //Set levelindicator's maximum value [levelIndicator setMaxValue:1000]; } - (void)dealloc { //Never called while debugging ???? [super dealloc]; } - (IBAction)startProcess:(id)sender { //Set process flag to true self.isProcessStarted=YES; //Start Animation [spinIndicator startAnimation:nil]; //perform selector in background thread [self performSelectorInBackground:@selector(processStart) withObject:nil]; } - (IBAction)stopProcess:(id)sender { //Stop Animation [spinIndicator stopAnimation:nil]; //set process flag to false self.isProcessStarted=NO; } - (void)processStart { int counter = 0; while (counter != 1000) { NSLog(@"Counter : %d",counter); //Sleep background thread to reduce CPU usage [NSThread sleepForTimeInterval:0.01]; //set the level indicator value to showing progress [levelIndicator setIntValue:counter]; //increment counter counter++; } //Notify main thread for process completed [self performSelectorOnMainThread:@selector(processCompleted) withObject:nil waitUntilDone:NO]; } - (void)processCompleted { //Stop Animation [spinIndicator stopAnimation:nil]; //set process flag to false self.isProcessStarted=NO; } @end I need to clear following things as per the above code. How to interrupt/cancel processStart while loop from UI control? I also need to show the counter value in main UI, which i suppose to do with performSelectorOnMainThread and passing argument. Just want to know, is there anyother way to do that? When my app started it is showing 1 thread in Activity Monitor, but when i started the processStart() in background thread its creating two new thread,which makes the total 3 thread until or unless loop get finished.After completing the loop i can see 2 threads. So, my understanding is that, 2 thread created when i called performSelectorInBackground, but what about the thrid thread, from where it got created? What if thread counts get increases on every call of selector.How to control that or my implementation is bad for such kind of requirements? Thanks

  • Cocoa -- getting a simple NSImageView to work

    - by William Jockusch
    I am confused about why this code does not display any image: In the app delegate: - (void)applicationDidFinishLaunching:(NSNotification *)aNotification { NSRect rect = window.frame; rect.origin.x = 0; rect.origin.y = 0; BlueImageView *blueImageView = [[BlueImageView alloc]initWithFrame:rect]; window.contentView = blueImageView; // also tried [window.contentView addSubview: blueImageView]; } BlueImageView.h: @interface BlueImageView : NSImageView { } @end BlueImageView.m: @implementation BlueImageView - (id)initWithFrame:(NSRect)frame { self = [super initWithFrame:frame]; if (self) { [self setImage: [NSImage imageNamed:@"imagefile.png"]]; NSAssert(self.image, @""); NSLog (@"Initialized"); } return self; } - (void)drawRect:(NSRect)dirtyRect { } @end The file imagefile.png exists. The NSAssert is not causing an exception. The NSLog is firing. But no image shows up in the window.
