Suppose you have a window nib, owned by a NSWindowController which loads the nib. The NSWindowController has an IBOutlet bound (via Interface Builder) to a UI control on the window. Is it true that you can't dispose the window controller by releasing it because the binding causes a unbreakable circular dependency between the window co...
While I've used UIScrollView successfully in the past by manipulating it programmatically, I'm having trouble getting it to work by setting it up exclusively in Interface Builder. I have a simple "about" page in my iPhone app. It has a UITextView, some icons, and links to my other apps. I have added all of these views to my UIScroll...
How do you add and manipulate images on a window with AppleScript Studio? Ideally I'd like to have an image display on the window and change it to a different image using applescript. I've added an image view in interface builder, but that's about as far as I have gotten. ...
I'm current creating a UISegmentedControl programmatically in a view controller's viewDidLoad method and adding it to the view controller's navigation bar by assigning it to self.navigationItem.titleView.

I've been working today on adding a sheet to the main window of my application. After having trouble seperating the two (main view/controller and sheet view/controller), I've gone with just having both views in the same xib and both controlled by the main controller. Now that it appears when the beginSheet method is called, I've designed...
My app has two views, one holds the OpenGL context which is constantly redrawing itself (through an NSTimer) and the other holds a picker wheel. While I'm spinning the wheel, it seems that the timer stops firing. Is there some method I could override for the picker view to manually call the draw? Or some way to keep the timer firing? ...
In most examples I see the following setup of IBOutlets: (Example A) FooController.h: @interface FooController : UIViewController { UILabel *fooLabel; } @property (nonatomic, retain) IBOutlet UILabel *fooLabel; @end FooController.m: @implementation FooController @synthesize fooLabel; @end But this works also fine (notic...
Hey there, I'm desperatley trying to connect controls of NSViews which will reside in a NSCollectionView using outlets. The collection view is feeded using an NSArrayController. I created the NSView in a seperate NIB file and in the implementation of NSCollectionViewItem I overwrote copyWithZone to load it: -(id)copyWithZone:(NSZo...

Hi all, Something I've been concerned about for a while as I'm developing my applications is the oft hard coded geometry of images and view components that take for granted the 320x480 nature of the current display generations. I've seen many answers in StackOverflow and in examples / tutorials that hard code in the screen dimensions. ...

Do I now nolonger need the following in method applicationDidFinishLaunching:application: [window addSubview:controller.view]; [window makeKeyAn...
UIViewController has an ivar (and @property) called view. It is not however, an IBOutlet. When creating a view nib in Interface Builder, you typically set File's Owner to be your UIViewController (or subclass thereof), and you wire the nib's view to File's Owner's view outlet. How does this work if the UIViewController view member isn'...
Interface Builder gives me a warning about the set up of my .xib file. It says, in a dialog called "MainMenu.xib Info", Object: Window ID: 21 Type: Illegal Configuration Issue: This window's content rectangle does not lie entirely on the screen with the menu bar and may not be completely visible for all screen resolutions and configur...
A buddy of mine asked for a quick sample of code for an app skeleton that would use a TableView to call a TabView. I estimated an hour. After more hours than I want to admit messing around in IB, I gave up and implemented the following code. Can anyone tell me how to do this in IB? I was careful (I thought) to make all the right conn...
