I have an applet that I am attempting to test in the 64-bit 1.6 Java VM on Mac OS X. However, Safari is continuing to load the 1.5 VM. I have tried changing the default applet VM to 1.6 in the Java Preferences with no effect. Is there a way to use the new 1.6.0_13 applet VM in Safari (or other browsers) on the Mac at the moment? ...
I'm in the process of testing my Java application on the Mac and I've run into a very strange issue. Checkboxes that appear in a modal Dialog render incorrectly, though non-modal Dialogs work fine. For example, say I have a window with 2 radio buttons. When the dialog opens the first one is selected. When I click on the second button...
With Mac OS X Server's included (or freely available) tools, a background in Objective-C and some rusty familiarity with scripting languages...how might one go about "easily" employing REST**ful **JSON services under Mac OS X Server? This is mostly for prototyping so simplicity and GUI tools are appealing though not at the expense of a ...
How can I remove the first \n character from an NSString? Edit: Just to clarify, what I would like to do is: If the first line of the string contains a \n character, delete it else do nothing. ie: If the string is like this: @"\nhello, this is the first line\nthis is the second line" and opposed to a string that does not contain a ...
I've built a screensaver for Leopard which utilises core-animation. It doesn't do anything overly complicated; uses a tree of CALayers and CATextLayers to produce a "table" of data in the following structure: - root › maincontainer › subcontainer › row [multiple] › cell [multiple] › text layer At most the...
I have several years of experience in Obj-c and Cocoa, but am just now getting back into it and the advances of Obj-C 2.0 etc. I'm trying to get my head around the modern runtime and declaring properties, etc. One thing that confuses me a bit is the ability in the modern runtime to have the iVars created implicitly. And of course this i...
I am trying to write a Trolltech QT library that will be used from a NON-QT CFM Application written in MacApp. I am having trouble that when I have created QApplication it is taking over my event loop in my non-Qt MacApp mac application. I have override QApplication::macEventFilter to call CallNextEventHandler but this calls my Carbon Ev...
Hi! I'm trying to figure out how to get the caps lock state in Qt (4.5) but the only thing I managed to get from qt is either or not the CAPS LOCK was pressed or released, and then could't get the actual state. In order to solve that I've tried platform dependent and I got something working on xp. But now I'm looking for a solution on...
Pretty much a total newbie here, using xcode to write a c++ program. I don't know how to use gdb yet and I'm not sure how you can turn it off..(if you can?) Just added some openGL texture loading code and when I call it I get this error message in my console and the program freezes... what is happening? Here's the code that throws the...
I think this is more a Mac networking configuration issue than anything else, but am not sure. I have Subversion set up on my Windows Home Server machine (similar to this: http://www.hanselman.com/blog/RunningASubversionServerOffYourWindowsHomeServer.aspx). This setup has been working for me for months, using Windows clients. Now I'm ...
I currently have NetBeans 6.5 installed on my mac running leopard. I searched Google on how to uninstall it and the NetBeans website says to right click on it, select "Show Package Contents" and the uninstaller should be there, but it isn't. How can I completely uninstall NetBeans in this situation? Thanks! ...
I have an NSButton in a mac application whose colour I'd like to change programatically but nothing I tried seems to work. I tried to create an output on the NSButtonCell and set the background color there but that didn't work either. Any code snippets would be helpful. ...
I want to write a custom alarm for a Mac that awakes the mac from sleep. I think it should be done as the Aurora app seems to do it. What methods/classes do I need to use? ...
Please don't respond with "a lot less malware/viruses for OS X". And please no hype and no fan-boy answers. The reason why I am asking this here is because I want feedback from developers who write software for both systems and have intimate knowledge of the security restrictions in which to operate. Using both Windows and OS X concurre...
The "joke" question Joel asked during podcast #58 made me all nostalgic for Logo, which was the second language I ever programmed in, after Basic, and which is why I never had any trouble with recursion in college. Are there any implementations of Logo for Windows or Linux (the platforms I can use) or Mac (because I know I'm not alone i...
It seems to me that Linux has it easy with /proc/self/exe. But I'd like to know if there is a convenient way to find the current application's directory in C/C++ with cross-platform interfaces. I've seen some projects mucking around with argv[0], but it doesn't seem entirely reliable. If you ever had to support, say, Mac OS X, which do...
hello, if you have to choose between two image application on a mac Drawit ($38) or Pixel ($46). Drawit is similar to Adobe fireworks while Pixel is like PhotoShop. Which will you choose and why. thanks in advance. ...
This Mac OS Spotlight plugin queries Google and displays the search results in Spotlight: http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/spotlight/googleimporter.html I understand how to make custom metadata importers. (I'd post a link but I'm not allowed to. Google "Create Spotlight Plugin" and go to first link.) That's not really what I want ...
Hello Everybody, I have an exe setup file. I want to make it compatible with Mac OS. Is there is any way through which we can convert an EXE to DMG, APP or a Jar? Thanks in advance Bhavi ...
Hi guys, It seems that I am doing something wrong or the linker is not very good in xcode (I imagine is the first situation :) ) but I found that I need to manually add the OSBundleLibrary references on the plist. The problem is that sometimes I don't know which bundles should I include, for example, I am building a kernel extension an...
