Example: I have a float value like 1294322.0000000, and I want to print it out in a label, like that: 1.294.322 So at every thousands-position one point inbetween. I bet you know what I mean. Don't know the exact english words for that. Or, for example, I have a float like that: 15.29, then it should look like "15,29". Or a float li...

I'm new to Cocoa and have a small question before I get carried away with using categories. Say you add a new method to NSString. Does that affect performance of normal NSString messages, or are category methods only checked when a method call does not match the standard method set? ...
I'm writing a standard Cocoa application, and I've just started implementing AppleScript support for it. I've defined and implemented a property called testprop for my top-level application scripting class, and accessing it works just fine: if I launch an instance of my app and run the following AppleScript in Script Editor, I get the ou...
I'm moving my initial steps in the Core Data realm (and I'm quite new to iPhone development, too) and I found a behavior I cannot explain. I declared a subclass of a NSManagedObject and defined a few properties, some of them of type NSString *, MyObject.h is something like: @interface MyObject : NSManagedObject { } @property (nonatomi...
I have an NSTextView and require the coordinates of the insertion point to display a view there upon user interaction. There is a function to get the character index from an NSPoint. I am wondering if there is any easy way to do the opposite? Thanks for any help! ...
I have a Cocoa document-based application. When the app launches, I want it to execute some code, which will create a dictionary that I need to be accessible to any document in the application, but I only want the dictionary created when I start the app, not when a new document is opened. Currently I have one controller class, which is ...

I have a crash taking place when an NSAutoreleasePool drains. Presumably the pool is trying to deallocate an object that has been prematurely released by another piece of code. The crash I have is in the midst of objc_msgSend as it is trying to send a message to an object that doesn't exist anymore. Given the stack state, what tips/tric...
Hi, I'm trying to create a very simple selection list widget based on NSOutlineView. However, I'm having a hard time figuring out how to display an icon and a label right next to it, which is really the expected behavior in all the mainstream implementations of that kind of widget out there (iTunes, mail, Finder,...). So far I am just ...
I have a CoreData entity (waypoint) with a foreign key to another entity (track). When the foreign key is set, or if it is not set, this if statement works fine: if ([wp track]) { thirdLabel.text = [NSString stringWithFormat:@"Part of Track: %@", [[wp track] title]]; } However, if the track that the waypoint is keyed to has been del...
Hello! I recently received an Arabic translation for my app, but would like to do more than simply replace the strings. I can re-layout most of the NIBs with Interface builder, but there are a few things that I need to do programmatically. Is there some way in Cocoa to figure out if the current locale is a RightToLeft locale, or do I...

How do I put a "hook" on an object so I can see what messages are being sent to it? (ie do an NSLog() every time a message is sent to an object). I think recall seeing this done before but I forget how. I am thinking it might help me track down why part of my code is not working. ...
