Gustavo,

The best thing would probably be for you to read the documentation on NSWindowController and NSWindow, then decide - based on your code's functionality - where to make the best additions to your code to accomplish your goal.

Ok i think I messed up a little.

the PanelShipController class is a sub class of NSWindowController, which is the one in charge of loading the Panel. As fas as I have read thas the best way to do it.

Now, if i understand good, I have to create my custom class which inherits from NSPanel, and in IB the class of the HUD panel will be then my custom NSPanel class. am I ok?

if so then, in that custom class , what, should I have a NSViewAnimation attribute? to apply the fadeIn fadeOut, or startFrame endFrame properties?

as you can see im kidna new, so any help (as you have done so far, thanks btw) I would appreciate it,

Gustavo

Gustavo,

Yes - a HUD Panel is just a subclass of NSWindow.

Douglas hello.

will this apply also to the HUD Panel?, I was thinking something similar but couldn't see a way to achieve it. inside the panel as I said, I have my custom view, but I dunno how to play with it to make it appear in a "fancy" way.

I will look at the example once i get  home.

thanks

Gustavo

Gustavo,

Have you looked at the documentation for NSViewAnimation? This will class gives you a number of options for manipulating several attributes (frames, alpha, etc) for windows/views.

You might want to also take a look at the Reducer example, in particular the Animated TabView Class that uses a custom NSAnimation class along with some custom drawing to produce visual effects using the default Core Image Transitions.

regards,

Hello, I have an application that has a HUD panel, now, when I click the button to show the panel the HUD panel simply appears, I was wondering if there is a way to make it appear in a diferent way, kinda the way Aperture, or iPhoto shows such panels, that they "scroll down", when needed.

I dunno how complex can this be.

Thanks for your help
