How do I get OS X to place NSWindows in a reasonable default tiled-like location? Like when I open TextEdit and create 10 documents, I see all the windows as having the same size, but somebody is smart enough to place them offset from each other a bit. I'm sure that the app isn't doing this itself in code. (I need a code-based, not NI...
Do you know how to have some cells appear in a table view after the table goes into editing mode? Just like the "Contacts" iPhone app does when you edit a contact. Maybe I'm wrong, but when editing the contacts, it looks like a grouped UITableView is used. I tried this: [self.tableView setEditing:YES animated:YES]; [self.tableView ins...

At the moment I am just learning Objective-C, one thing that I have noticed is two different notations for defining an instance of a Class. (i.e.) EngineClass *engine; engine = [EngineClass new]; AND EngineClass *engine; engine = [[EngineClass alloc] init]; are they essentially the same? cheers -gary- ...
In Apple's Core Data documentation for Multi-Threading with Core Data, they list the preferred method for thread safety as using a seperate NSManagedObjectContext per thread, with a shared NSPersistentStoreCoordinator.

Can anyone explain why a singleton instance of the MyCLController class is used in the sample iphone app LocateMe found here as well as the overriding of retain, retainCount, release, and autorelease? Any help would be very much appreciated!! ...
I've got an issue with an object not being deallocated in objective-c. I'm pretty certain this is because it is being retained somewhere, but I don't know where (checking retainCount where it ought to be 0 returns a 1). I've gone through my code many times but fail to see what's retaining it that I don't release. Might even be a bug in t...

(My first iPhone app.) I am creating a custom UIView class "AnimationContainer", which flips from image1 to image2, while moving from rect1 to rect2. My ultimate intention is to have up to four of these containers doing their transitions simultaneously. The problem I'm hav...

I have set up a delegate to make the presenting root view close the modal view. This is according to Apple best practice. When I try to make the same root vie...

I'm trying to create a view that's similar to Motion's properties views (screenshot). Each of my property objects contains a definition of the kind of cell it wants to display as. But at the same time, I'd like to use bindings so that values are automatically updated as they can be changed elsewhere. I've tried a few different approach...
I would like to be able to use bindings to keep my GUI synchronized to a dynamically loaded object, but as soon as I replace the object in question with another one of the same type the bindings break and the GUI stops updating. Here's some code to help you understand what I mean: In my interface I have an instance variable to hold the ...
