I have an app that may get launched with current user's or with root permissions. In fact, there's the possibility that the app runs twice at the same time - once under the current user and once as root. I like to inform the user when the app is running under root. Currently, I show this in its window title, but I'd prefer to change th...
Is there a framework that draws Snow Leopard style popups? For an example of what I am talking about, try right clicking something in the dock. I basically want to be able to give a starting point (where the arrow forms) and then a size and have it do the rest. In this case it's a menu, though my use would be more of just for drawing a ...
I need a function that, given a character, returns the CGKeyCode associated with the position of that character on the current keyboard layout. E.g., given "b", it should return kVK_ANSI_B if using U.S. QWERTY, or 45 if using Dvorak. The Win32 API has the function VkKeyScan() for this purpose; X11 has the function XStringToKeySym(). Is t...
The documentation for this method says: "Pops up the menu at the specified location." but the pamameters seem to describe a different situations: item The menu item to be positioned at the specified location in the view. location The location in the view coordinate system to display the menu item. view The view to display the menu it...
I have an existing cross platform project that runs on Mac, Linux and Windows. Now, I want to add a 'native' UI to it - the ability to show some popup windows (to request user credentials) and perhaps FileOpen dialogs. By native I mean I want to use the systems build in file-open dialog - so on the Mac the mac file finder is shown and ...
I'd like to programmatically set volume in Windows, Mac and Ubuntu using C/C++. Command line also can but C/C++ preferred. Thank you in advance! ...
Hi, I was running Rails 2.3.4 with SQLite3 on a Snow Leopard box without any problems. I've just done a pull on a new project that requires 2.3.5 so I did a sudo gem update to get the latest version of Rails. This installed fine but when I ran rake db:migrate I got the following error: rake aborted! uninitialized constant SQLite3::Driv...
On startup of my application with gdb, I am getting weird errors that look like: unable to read unknown load command 0x22 The whole trace looks something like this: [Session started at 2009-12-17 10:28:24 -0500.] GNU gdb 6.3.50-20050815 (Apple version gdb-966) (Tue Mar 10 02:43:13 UTC 2009) Copyright 2004 Free Software Foundation, In...

I have an openGL GUI interface and I need to have a popup menu that will be called when this a certain button is pressed in my openGL display. I want to display a menu similar to the one that pops up when you press an NSPopUPButton but I cannot use the Cocoa button itself. It seems that the best way to accomplish this is to use the NSP...
This is useful for debugging (hence programming related). On linux, we can use the command strace -feopen python myfile.py to figure out which python modules and shared objects are loaded. Is there an equivalent one-liner on macOS X? ...
I'm having a bit of a problem building a Java Enterprise Edition web application on Mac OS X 10.6.2 using Ant 1.7.1, Glassfish v3 and Java EE 6. The problem is that the build process does not find the Java EE libraries which fair enough as I don't think Apple supply them with the default Java installation but I know they exist in the Gl...
I'm wondering if it is possible to use Scripting Bridge (as discussed here) in C. What I'm trying to do is control and/or get information from Apple applications (such as iTunes, see link listing 2.1 & 2.2 on above link) which is fairly easy using Objective-C. I could write those parts in Objective-C using C, but that would get pretty c...
We have a web screen with a number of applets that has a problem on Mac OSX 10.5.7, Firefox 3.0.15, java 1.5.0_19. The problem is encountered on the user site. On initial load of applets (with an empty applet cache), the screen locks up/hangs while loading the applets. After refreshing the page, it loads normally. If the cache is clea...
I'm not entirely sure if this a SO or SF question, but I'll give it a go here. We're offering DMGs for download and a MD5 checksum to go with each. The question is how to instruct users of how to actually checksum and compare with the given checksum. Users aren't going to be all that tech savvy. One idea was to produce a copy-paste bas...
Hi, I've received a request asking if it's possible to stream live video to a web site. The person requesting this has a notebook running MacOS, a professional camera that can be connected up using Firewire and a web site with PHP/MySQL. What solutions exist to stream the video out on the Internet and, if practical, what would be neces...

I can't find the ".SVN" folder anywhere... any idea on how to "cleanse" these files so I ...
