Hi,
I want to display the current time in a full screen window. I'm
making my computer into a digital clock (for my own use). I've done
it by using NSCalendarDate and extracting the hours, minutes, and
seconds, formatting a string and displaying it. I use an NSTimer to
update the display every half a second.
My question is: Is there a better way to display what is essentially
the same as the menu bar clock?
Thanks for any ideas,
Ron
Look at NSDateFormatter.
Here's one way to do that.
IBOutlet NSTextField *theTextField;
NSDateFormatter *dateFormatter;
+ (void)initialize
{
[NSDateFormatter
setDefaultFormatterBehavior:NSDateFormatterBehavior10_4];
}
- (void)updateClockTime
{
[theTextField setStringValue:[dateFormatter stringFromDate:[NSDate
date]]];
}
- (void)startClock
{
dateFormatter = [[NSDateFormatter alloc] init];
[dateFormatter setDateStyle:NSDateFormatterNoStyle];
[dateFormatter setTimeStyle:NSDateFormatterMediumStyle];
[NSTimer scheduledTimerWithTimeInterval:1.0 target:self
selector:@selector(updateClockTime) userInfo:nil repeats:YES];
}
