When writing an OS X Bundle application (.app), how can I get the name of the document that caused the application to be launched? Say I've associated .abcd with MyApp, when I click on foo.abcd MyApp is launched. How can I get the foo.abcd from inside MyApp? (Command line arguments only contain the process id). ...
Greetings, I have a NSTextView with a sizeable quantity of text. Whenever I scroll however, the view isn't updated properly. There are some artifacts that remain at the top or the bottom of the view. It appears that the view doesn't refresh itself often enough. If I scroll very slowly the view updates correctly though. If I add a border...

We're using a Windo...

I've installed parallels desktop on my MacBook to be able to run Visual Studio 2008 in a XP installation. Everything works great except when I decided to put my websites in my sites folder in the os x file system (Which by default automatically happens because the My Documents folder is mapped to the Mac's Documents folder, and I'd rathe...
I was trying some code to capture part of the screen using getPixel on Windows, with the device context being null (to capture screen instead of window), but it was really slow. It seems that GetDIBits() can be fast, but it seems a bit complcated... I wonder if there is a library that can put the whole region into an array, and pixel[x]...
