I have initialized it using InitWi...
I am trying to automate the creation of a smart mailbox in Apple Mail using criteria based on the currently selected message (e.g. create a folder to display all messages from the person who sent the current message).

My app is noticeably less responsive on my Mac than on Windows, and today I proved it's not a hardware issue, because I ran the App on my Mac and a Window XP on Virtual Box side by side, and IS much more responsive on XP. Things like...
After painful trial and error, I arrived at a grotesque function that behaves the way I want it to: (exp(- abs(6 * (x - 0.7)) ^ 2.5 ) + exp(- (x-1.7) ^ 8 ) * 1.2)/1.5785 I only care about the values for the range 0 <= x <= 1 and the slope at x = 1. In this interval, 0 <= y <= 1 as well. Are there any free tools (web-based or MAC OS X...

I was looking at the docs for NSTableViewDataSource and they say that this protocol is only available on osx 10.6. How can this be? Isn't NSTableViewDataSource the object that contains all the data for your NsTableView? ...
I am trying to setup an NSTableView programatically (I really need to avoid using IB) and all the examples I find explain how to do this using the interface building.

Hi everyone, How would I go about locking a screen like Keychain does, meaning preventing all access to Dock, menubar, desktop, etc. Basically just a black screen that I can add a password field to, for the user to return to the desktop? I am well aware of the Carbon method, but I want the NSApplication method because this is an all ...
