I just need to kno...

The first time I saw the yield keyword in C# I thought "yuck what a way to junk up the language". Having grown since then and actually used the language I find it so pleasantly simple to express state logic that I'd like to use a similar approach in other development platforms. I'm exploring Objective-C for some support utilities. Is ...

I figure I could unarchive my class (which conforms to NSCoding) and just swap where my instance points to. To this end I use this code... NSString* pathForDataFile = [self pathForDataFile]; if([...

Does the setTitle method of UIButton retain the NSString passed as argument ? I guess I can rely on the fact that the property is defined as: property(nonatomic,readonly,retain) UILabel *titleLabel In this case, I think that it does retain the string. Thanks, Apple92 ...
How do you use Objective-C (iPhone) to send an AppleScript to a remote computer (on same network) to be executed? I think something like NSNetService would be of use here, but I don't know. EDIT: Ok, to clarify, all I want to do is send a command ID or something and then the Computer associate that with the corresponding AppleScript co...
With Snow Leopard the default gamma changed from 1.8 to 2.2. I happen to be working on a few Mac apps that use a very dark custom colour scheme provided by Cocoa. On 10.5 it looks fine but on 10.6 with the new gamma it's much darker and really hard on the eyes. The colour scheme is defined using numerous [NSColor colorWithCalibratedRe...

These seem to be enabled by default in UIWebViews containing the link address of the respective link in the title of the alert. They are also enabled in Safari. (How) is it po...

However, I would like to have JavaScript be able to call some Objective-C functions that would somehow be registered with WebKit. I a...
