Hi: I want to redirect stdout to a NSTextView. Could this also work with outputs of subprocesses? What might be the best way to achieve this? EDIT: According to Peter Hosey answer I implemented the following. But I do not get a notification. What am I doing wrong? NSPipe *pipe = [NSPipe pipe]; NSFileHandle *pipeHandle = [pipe f...

Hi I am trying to send some text in an email from my cocoa app (by using Mail.app). Initially I tried using HTML to send properly formatted text. But the mailto: URL does not support html tags (even after setting headers) So I decided to use formatted string (left-aligning of string) This is what I have in my mailto: link's body argume...

Hi, I'm looking for some guidance on the best way to implement stock ticker style right-to-left scrolling of CALayers in Core Animation on OSX. I'm pretty new to Cocoa and don't know the best way to implement this. I have a continuous stream of news items and stock details that I turn into CALayers (made up of 1 image and a CATextLayer...
Consider this code: NSNumberFormatter *nf = [[NSNumberFormatter alloc] init]; nf.numberStyle = NSNumberFormatterCurrencyStyle; NSLocale *l = [[NSLocale alloc] initWithLocaleIdentifier:@"it_IT"]; nf.locale = l; [l release]; nf.decimalSeparator = @","; nf.currencySymbol = @"US$"; [nf setLenient:YES]; NSString *s = @"US$ 0,05"; double d =...
I have a view that contains two NSTextFieldCells. The size at which these cells are drawn is derived from the size of the view, and I want the text in each cell to be the largest that will fit in the derived size of the cell. Here's what I have, which doesn't set the font size: - (void)drawRect:(NSRect)dirtyRect { /* * Observan...
Hello, I'am currently migrating an iphone application using SQLite to CoreData. I need to do an INSERT or REPLACE to add only the new content, is there a way to do this or do I have to fetch all the DB and look for existing objects and add the new ones ? Thanks. ...
I am a little confused by this snippet of code (presented in the CocoaFundamentals guide) that overrides some of the methods when creating a singleton instance. static id sharedReactor = nil; +(id)sharedInstance { if(sharedReactor == nil) sharedReactor = [[super allocWithZone:NULL] init]; return sharedReactor; } . +(id)alloc...
Does anyone have any preferences or comments about using either ... static id sharedReactor = nil; +(id)sharedInstance { if(sharedReactor == nil) sharedReactor = [[super allocWithZone:NULL] init]; return sharedReactor; } OR: static id sharedReactor = nil; +(void)initialize { if(sharedRandomReactor == nil) { sharedRandomReactor = [[...

The Apple documentation claims that the Core Animation action key kCAOnOrderOut has one sole purpose: to animate a layer out of sight when it either becomes hidden or has -removeFromSuperlayer called on it. I'm only referring to the latter case in this question. In practice, when -removeFromSuperlayer is called, the layer is removed imm...
Hi everyone, I have a Core Data entity which needs a gender property. I just need one of two, the standard male or female values. What's the best practice for this in Core Data? In the .NET world with databases I would've created a Gender table, with foreign key in the child table. I'm still getting my head around Core Data right now -...
Hi, I'm trying to make use of CALayers to create a 3D style effect in one of my applications. However, it seems that nested CALayers do not have perspective applied to them. To illustrate with pseudo-code, if I have a layer with perspective applied like so: CATransform3D subLayerTransform = CATransform3DIdentity; /* set perspective */...
Or has this been abandoned? I can't seem to find a modern sample project. I haven't been able to make any the old code I find work. I just want to write a simple Mac app that accesses an external MySQL database that's also involved in a PHP website. ...

I'm pretty sure i've seen this somewhere (not counting the help menu), and I feel like you could just drag one in under ib in leopard. Not that it matters, but it will either go into a dock menu or a service. Thanks ...
Let's say I want to write a simple Cocoa app to make the Spaces feature of Leopard more useful. I would like to configure each space to have, say, different *screen resolutions *keyboard layouts *volume (for audio) So there are two parts to my question: 1) I suppose there are ways to modify these three things independently of Spaces, r...
