I'm developing an extension to MATLAB's PsychToolbox that allows for better control of the mouse during psychophysical experiments (specifically, preventing the screen boundaries from limiting drag operations... it should feel like you can move the mouse "infinitely" in all directions). Since MATLAB doesn't support the creation of addit...
I am trying to come to grips with how difficult it is to use NSPopUpButton. It's by far and away the most difficult user element to program in Cocoa (at least as far as I am finding it). The use case I have in mind is as follows: I have a class called Port that represents a Serial port. Amongst the attributes is a name field. In the ...
I know when Leopard came out everybody (well, everybody that was a Java developer and cared enough to do development on a Mac) was pissed that there was no Java 6 SDK support. I know somebody provided some kind of hack way a few months after Leopard was released, but I could have sworn that I read sometime later that Apple and/or Sun fin...

I just had to re-install mysql and I am having a problem starting it up. It cannot find the socket (mysql.sock). The problem is that neither can I. In my Mac OS X 10.4 terminal, I type: "locate mysql.sock", and I get back "/private/tmp/mysql.sock". It makes sense that the socket file exist in that location, but it actually does not. ...
I'm looking into writing an app that runs as a background process and detects when an app (say, Safari) is playing audio. I can use NSWorkspace to get the process ID's of the currently running applications but I'm at a loss when it comes to detecting what those processes are doing. I assume that there is a way to listen in on a process a...
Is there a good technique or example code demonstrating how to implement animated cell reordering? I have a custom cell class and regular reordering works fine, but I'd like to animate as much of it as possible (preferable something like the tab reordering in safari except in a tableview). Any ideas? Thanks. ...

I'm looking to work on an application that needs to run on both Windows and OSX. Since I'm already very familiar with C#/.NET I thought I would take a look at using Mono. But I also want it to very easy to install and don't want the users to have to install the Mono package separately. Is it possible to create an OS X .app bundle that...
Hi, I'm trying to do some number rounding and conversion to a string to enhance the output in an Objective-C program. I have a float value that I'd like to round to the nearest .5 and then use it to set the text on a label. For example: 1.4 would be a string of: 1.5 1.2 would be a string of: 1 0.2 would be a string of: 0 I've spe...

I don't suppose anyone is aware of any libraries that allow you to detect the current pitch (that is, in notes) received by the microphone in Mac OS X? I'm assuming it'd be a mixture of Objective-C and some provided lib. Or else in Java for multi-platform goodness? ...
Hey all, I've recently installed RDoc version (2.4.3) through Ruby gems to replace the one shipped with Mac OS X (version 1.0.1). Unfortunately, I can still only use RDoc 1.0.1 when I call run "rdoc" at the command line. rdoc -v returns: RDoc V1.0.1 - 20041108 I tried amending the $PATH variable to point the first entry to the RDoc 2....

If I use a blocking call i.e. without Timeout th...
