Someone on here recently recommended BWToolkit, and it really impressed me, so I started googling for more IB plug-ins. I've found a couple on random blogs, but haven't been able to find any kind of repository/aggregator for them. Anyone know where I can find more of these? Thanks. ...
I have a IBAction such as: - (IBAction)showPicker:(id)sender; How can I get the name of the control from the sender variable? I am typically a c# coder so have tried the following to no avail senderName = ((UIButton *)sender).name; I need something more descriptive than the control id (not the button title either). I have 5 button...
It seems like more and more OS X apps these days are doing all kinds of fancy drawing stuff for custom controls. Apps like Twitterific, Things, EventBox, Versions just to name a few.... So basically I'm looking for any information on how to get started doing this kind of thing. Not sure if it is just done by subclassing controls and usi...
From what I understand of the SDK, this exception is raised when the bindings in IB are not proper. But in my case, the view is loaded fine for the first two times. I then move back from the view using the NavigationController. The third time when I try to open the view, I get this exception. The fact that it opens correct the first two...
How does one bind an iPhone SDK control (say a UISlider) using Interface Builder? Unlike regular Cocoa applications, the bindings tab does not seem to be present when the iPhone-app XIB is opened using Interface Builder ...
I am writing a cocoa application which has a NSWindow. I want to change the background color of the window to a specific color. But the window properties in the inspector only provide "Textured Window" alternative. How can I make the color of the window as desired? ...
Ideally I'd like to be able to create the views in Interface Builder and then swap them with code. Any pointers to sample code or tutorials would be appreciated. ...
I'm working on a simple iPhone app. I have 1 UINavigationController and 2 subclasses of UIViewController. I have a MainWindow.xib file, a PersonListView.xib, and a PersonDetailView.xib. The MainWindow.xib has the UINavigationController with the view linked over to the PersonListView.xib file. The PersonListView.xib has the File's Own...
I am able to design custom UITableViewCells and load them just fine using the technique described in the thread found at http://forums.macrumors.com/showthread.php?t=545061. However, using that method no longer allows you to init the cell with a reuseIdentifier which means you have to create whole new instances of each cell at every cal...
Does anyone know where I can find an example or a tutorial of building a Cocoa Touch plug-in for Interface Builder? ...
Hey there everyone. In interface builder i've created a UITextfield within a subclass of a UITableViewCell. The default font is just too small. If I make it bigger in interface builder it looks a bit ugly. Not as crisply rendered. I'd like a font similar to that used in the addressBook application when you edit a contact. The text thei...
I am having a peculiar problem with the iPhone SDK. I have tried to run several tutorials from different sources on my development machine. The problem always seems to be in connecting the code to a view in Interface Builder. If I have a button or data field (or some other library function) and I declare some properties in the viewcon...
Sometimes IB will hold onto old or bad references, and I cannot seem to remove or edit them. EDIT I have made this a wiki question with the intention of gathering more data on the phenomenon. Answers involving situations where other coders have encountered this are welcome. This happened to me again last night with a table controller. ...
I'm having some problems displaying the contents of one NSArrayController in two windows defined in different XIBs. In my main window (in MainMenu.xib), I have an NSTableView which is bound to an NSArrayController In my second XIB, I have another window that contains an NSTableView. I created a new NSArrayController, and bound the tabl...
I have a situation where I build a view with a table and another view for table header (containing images and labels and buttons). Now I connected the table, image, labels, buttons to variables in my Controller class. Should I release the memory in -dealloc method for all those variables that I connected using Interface Builder? I believ...
I am developing an OS X/Cocoa application and I want behavior like this: There is a sidebar with different options, let's say "Option A", "Option B", and "Option C". When you click A, B, or C, it loads a corresponding GUI into the main pane. Each GUI is a different NSView subclass, and it is defined in a different NIB/XIB file. For exa...
Hey all, I'm wondering how to make a button or input field in Interface Builder react in such a way that on click it opens a file dialog and lets you select one or more files and puts them into a specified array/table... Once the button is pushed and files are chosen (this seems a like quite trivial thing) I guess it will already conta...
hello, I'm trying to find a way to link an array controller to an Array. I know via an outlet I can fill textfields and even tableviews in the .xib file made with Interface Builder. I was hoping it would be possible to have one easy outlet (NSArray) and put it into an Array Controller. In turn, a table will link its contentfield to the...
I want to create an NSOutlineView subclass where some of the entries look like buttons. It would look something like this: + Fruits + Organic - Apples - Bananas [Add Item] + Non-organic - Cherries [Add Item] [Add Item] + Vegetables - Carrots [Add Item] Where all of the "[Add Item]"'s are buttons. I have...
I used this 'tutorial' to bind my array called 'collection' to a NSTableview on my interface: http://www.cocoadev.com/index.pl?NSArrayController The interfacebuilder stuff isn't that hard. It becomes difficult when I try to actually show the data in my array into the view. in my .h file: @interface MyDocument : NSDocument { NSMuta...
