I have a two classes, a controller called "AppController" and a class called "URLDelegate" that encapsulates the sample NSURL code from Apple's URL Loading System Programming Guide. The guide repeatedly mentions declaring the receivedData instance variable "elsewhere." I assume this means outside of the URLDelagate class, because if I ...
After testing my app with Instruments I realized that the current CSV parser I use has a huge memory footprint. Does anybody have a recommendation for one with a low memory footprint? ...
I noticed that there is much repeated work to do when creating Cocoa source code. For example, if I set an instance variable for an object: NSMutableArray *infoArray; I need add code: @property (retain,nonatomic) NSMutableArray *infoArray; @synthesize infoArray; in - (void)dealloc I also need add: [infoArray release]; ...
Hi, I'm just learning cocoa (coming from C#) but I'm getting a strange error for something that seems really simple... (charsSinceLastUpdate>=36) #import "CSMainController.h" @implementation CSMainController //global vars int *charsSinceLastUpdate = 0; NSString *myString = @"Hello world"; // - (void)applicationDidFinishLaunching:(...

I am new to drawing with Cocoa, and I am making some software which will have sliders similar to these found in GarageBand: These look beautiful and can be controld by moving the mouse up and down. Can you help me with customizing NSSliders by subclassing them, so I can make them look and behave exactly as in GarageBand? Thanks. I...
I built an 10.6+ only app, I tested it in 32-bit and 64-bit mode and everything works (or at least I couldn't find anything wrong). I need help with the actual release build of the app. What settings should I keep an eye out for? Thanks! ...
I'm developing a game/engine for iPhone OS. It's the first time I'm using Objective-C. I made my own binary format for geometry data and for textures I'm focusing on PVRTC. That should be the optimal approach as far as speed and space are concerned. I really want to keep loading time to a minimum and - if possible - be able to save very...
Hi Everyone: By default (it seems), IKImageBrowserView enables drag and drop to locations in the Finder. I would like to turn off this behavior but am unsure of how to do so. I was thinking that perhaps implementing the NSDraggingDestination protocol and overriding it could solve this, but so far it hasn't worked for me. Thanks for a...
For learning (not practical -- yet) purposes, I'd like to use the following method on an NSDictionary to give me back a set of keys that have values using a test I've defined. Unfortunately have no idea how to specify the predicate. NSDictionary keysOfEntriesPassingTest: - (NSSet *)keysOfEntriesPassingTest:(BOOL (^)(id key, id obj, BOOL...

I hear there are at least four different Cocoa bindings for Mono. The ones I know about are: Cocoa# (not maintained) Monobjc (http://www.monobjc.net/) NObjective bridge (http://code.google.com/p/nobjective/ mobjc (http://code.google.com/p/mobjc/) MonoMac (http://mjhutchinson.com/journal/2010/06/09/monomac_in_monodevelop) Does anyone ...
I have a Cocoa application which uses an installer. I want to be able to run code coverage over the code (after it has been installed). This is not the usual unit-test scenario where a single binary will run a suite of tests. Rather, the tests in question will interact with the UI and the app back-end whilst it is running, so I ideally ...
I'm in my second day of learning Objective-C, Cocoa and IB. This is probably something really simple but I cannot work it out. Basically, I have a form with a NSTextField, when the user types in this field and clicks an OK button the application will display an alert saying Hello followed by the value of text field. It's all working ap...
Hi, I have an application, when I see that application in "Activity Monitor" the applications Process Name is displayed nothing. Only the application icon is displayed. I tried debugging this by getting processInfo of the app, I got the application name correct. Even tried with the "top" command, I got the application name correct. The...
I am subclassing NSTextView to set it's default font: PTNfoEditField.h @interface PTNfoEditField : NSTextView { } @end PTNfoEditField.m @implementation PTNfoEditField -(id)init { if(self = [super init]) { [[self textStorage] setFont:[NSFont fontWithName:@"Courier" size:10]]; } return self; } @end However, ...
I need to host my window upon a window of another application. How to enumerate windows of another Cocoa application? Is it possible to control them? If no: how can I draw upon a window of another application? Thanks! ...
Hi! How can I save a NSImage as a new file (png, jpg, ...) in a certain directory? Thank you for answering my "noobish" question. ...
I'm new to MVC although I've read a lot of papers and information on the web. I know it's somewhat ambiguous and there are many different interpretations of MVC patterns.. but the differences seem somewhat minimal My main question is - are M, V, and C always going to be necessary to be doing this right? I haven't seen anyone address t...
I am working through Aaron Hillegass' Cocoa Programming for Mac OS X and am doing the challenge for Chapter 18. Basically, the challenge is to write an app that can draw ovals using your mouse, and then additionally, add saving/loading and undo support. I'm trying to think of a good class design for this app that follows MVC. Here's what...
