When I display an NSAlert like this, I get the response straight away: int response; NSAlert *alert = [NSAlert alertWithMessageText:... ...]; response = [alert runModal]; The problem is that this is application-modal and my application is document based. I display the alert in the current document's window by using sheets, like this: ...
I'm having the following problem: Our users are using Macs running Mac OS Leopard to connect to an Xserve running Tiger Server (Version 10.4.11) via AFP.

Alas, my $DISPLAY variable is /tmp/launch-aLhnOW/:0 I do not set $DISPLAY in any of these ... /private/etc/profile /private/etc/bashrc ~/.bash_profile ~/.profile ... so I suspect there is some other configuration file that X11 is rea...
I am developing an Autoconf script for a project which should run on Linux and Mac, 32- and 64-bit. On Linux, detecting 64-bit is easy: you get x86_64 instead of i386 for build_cpu. I can't figure out how to do it for the Mac: both 32- and 64-bit machines give i386 for the build_cpu. Is there a way to detect the difference using Autoconf...
Is it possible to navigate an NSTableView's editable cell around the NSTableView using arrow keys and enter/tab? For example, I want to make it feel more like a spreadsheet. The users of this application are expected to edit quite a lot of cells (but not all of them), and I think it would be easier to do so if they didn't have to double...

Can anyone point me in the right direction? I guess I'd be starting with something like FindWindowEx and MoveWindow under Win32. Note that I want to do...

I recently changed network and removed all my HTTP proxy settings from the System Preferences / Networking panel on OSX (Leopard). However, now whenever I use Eclipse the Java HTTP proxy system properties seem to be 'automagically' set to use my now defunct HTTP proxy.

I need to profile a program to see whether any changes need to be made regarding performance. I suspect there is a need, but measuring first is the way to go. This is not that program, but it illustrates the problem I'm having: #include <stdio.h> int main (int argc, char** argv) { FILE* fp = fopen ("trivial.c", "r"); if (fp) { ...

I'm having a flicker problem in a Java applet in Safari (Mac). However, it's not the usual double buffering problem. I have isolated it down to one single drawImage call (no redundant repaint, no clear is called), which gives a white flicker before painting the image but not on every repaint. In fact, I measured the duration of the draw...
As the title says, does any Unix-like system ascribe a meaning to the SUID bit on a directory, and if so, what does it mean? The SVTX (saved text, or sticky) bit has a meaning - thou shalt not delete a file from this directory unless you can write to the file. It is used on /tmp, for example. The SGID (set GID) bit has a meaning - fil...
