Let's saying the user is currently on Chrome. So I have a HUD that is invoked by a global hotkey, the user then types something into it and on clicking Close or OK, the HUD goes away (just using [NSPanel orderOut:]) but my application is still focused (i.e. the Menu bar of my application is still visible). But I want the focus to go back...
I am just wondering is there a way to convert nib/xib file to ojbective C code?

Happy Holidays! Alright, so here is my question. I have found by using Google (Hurray, GIYF) that I can disable the iPhone going to sleep in an application by using: application.idleTimerDisabled = YES; so the code looks like this: - (void)applicationDidFinishLaunching:(UIApplication *)application { // Override point for c...
I would like to add a separate tableview to my application which would provide the user with a list of their favorite books, separate from the tableview of every book in the application. They should be able to add and delete favorites from this tableview. These favorites would then be saved so that they aren't lost whenever the applicati...
I'm looking to do some testing of loan calculations on the Mac. I know what an amortization schedule is, and yes, I know how to convert an algorithm into code, but I'm don't want to worry about screwing up the rounding, or reinventing the wheel. Are there any Open Source C or Objective-C libraries that handle such calculations? I know...
Hi! I've been developing for the iPhone for quite some time and I've been wondering if there's any array object that uses circular buffer in Obj-C? Like Java's Stack or List or Queue. I've been tinkering with the NSMutableArray, testing it's limits... and it seems that after 50k simple objects inside the array - the application is signif...
So, this is pretty straight forward, but I'm not sure how to do it. To get a title from a button, you can use: NSString *title = [sender titleForState:UIControlStateNormal]; However, is there a way to get other information from the button such as the "Label" or "hint"? And if there isn't, I want to be able to have different actions...

I wanted to make a UITabBar that when device-Orientation changes the icons of the TabBar match. Anyone who has used a Palm Pre/ Web OS device camera will know what i mean. At this stage i'm just interested in hearing different approaches to the problem. My solution is (theoretical) Subclass UITabBar, listen for the orientation change, ...
Hi there! I implemented saving and loading methods in my document-based application. In the saving method, I have [NSArchiver archivedDataWithRootObject:[self string]]; Where [self string] is a NSString. When saving a file with just "normal content" inside of it, the contents of the file created are: streamtypedè@NSStringNSObjec...

I added the function - (void)applicationWillResignActive:(UIApplication *)application and - (void)applicationDidBecomeActive:(UIApplication *)application to my UIApplicationDelegate.

Hello all, I am looking for a way to run an accurate test on an iPhone and find how long it takes for battery percentage to drop. While considering this I thought Would the temperature of the battery make a difference to my result i.e If I took my iPhone outside and ran the test would it be consistent with the test I ran indoors? Does...
I'm getting a NSObject doesNotRecognizeSelector error when trying to set a property and I'm not sure why. The error occurs on the first line of setWithNSColor.

The problem is these threads are finishing and loading images even though they may not be on the screen anymore. This can be taxing on resources, especially when the use scrolls quickly and lots of cells are created. The images ...
Alright, so I'm working on a small iPhone app, and I am using NSUserDefaults as my data persistence. It only has to keep track of a few things, such as some names and some numbers so I figure I might as well keep it simple. I found this page for some reference, but I don't think it can answer my question. Basically, I want to be able ...

A UILabel's text is drawn in a CGRect(x,y,size,width). The label can have multiple lines of text.
