To start, there's an NSArrayController ("Servers") whose content is an array of "server" objects. I also have an NSTableView with a column. The column is bound to Server's "arrangedObjects.status" property. I use a custom NSValueConverter to make that status into an image for the column's dataCell which is an NSImageCell. What I don't...

As the tree controller is not bound to the selection of the NSArrayController I need to make sure to let the tree controller know that items has to be fetched after the selection of the array controller changes. I have done t...
I just want to clarify if I am understanding how dates & time zones work. Basically, I have a date string @"2008-07-06 12:08:49" that I want to convert to an NSDate. I want this date and time to be in whatever the current user's time zone is set in. So if they are in GMT or HST, it's still 12:08:49. If I have date in unix form 12153821...
So I am creating an class that does an animation. There is a timer delay. So I will instantiate this class. Have it do its thing then have a timerFinished type of delegate to continue on.

I have a problem that I solved using delegates, but now I am thinking I may have made a mistake. This is what I want to do. I have a class that runs on a delay. When it is done it has a finished delegate that it calls. Now I have the main class that creates two of these delay classes. I don't want them to both be handled by the sa...

Quicktime 7, on the other hand, is not able to open the same Video File. When I try to open that same Video File within my Cocoa Application, which is usi...
Obviously the following in the main method should lead to a leak: NSMutableArray *strings = [[NSMutableArray alloc] init]; [strings addObject:@"Hello"]; [strings addObject:@"Howdy"]; return 0; and the clang LLVM reports the leak. However, working through the Hillegass book, I tried analyzing the following code, which again does not r...

All, How can I use (NS)Views from other applications as Layers in my CA app. I.e. I'd like to display a Keynote presentation as Layer in my CA app. I found the iChatTheatre API which looks promising - however I'd need the oposite. An API to get the contents from an app - not to provide it. Any pointers? Thanks. ...

When I do a ⌘S to save it, I get an error message ( 'The document “Untitled” could not be saved as “Untitled.rubytext”. '). How can I make my application save it as an RTF file? I mean using NSDocument (I guess dataRepresentation...

I am interested in creating a method to find if the current date falls between certain times on any given day. It is for a scheduling program, so I want to find what event is occurring at the current time. Every day has the same set of times: 820-900, 900-940, 940-1020, etc. Since this must be done on any given day I do not know how to c...
