hi greg, this application is the dreamfactory player, this is a stand-alone development environment and also a NPAPI plugin for chrome, safari and firefox. there are huge limitations for npapi, for example, we only get a core graphics surface to draw the app on not an nsview or an nswindow the code base must work on windows and mac and this is half a million lines of c and in order to have portability the dialogs are built out of a platform independent xml description but we are always looking for a better way and we probably could use interface builder more
however the problem i am having is with all dialogs, even cocoa get file and put file dialogs that are not dynamically built On Tue, Jul 26, 2011 at 2:38 PM, Gregory Weston <gwes...@mac.com> wrote: > Bill Appleton wrote: > > > Based on my app, the dialog boxes have to be created dynamically, so i > can't > > use Interface Builder, so they are assembled out of cocoa controls as > > needed. > > > > My dialogs beep when i control-x to cut some selected text > > > > What is the simple way for my dialog window to pass these command keys > > events down to the text views? > > > > Thanks in advance > > Not to be impertinent but through this thread I'm wondering if the OP is > putting himself through this pain unnecessarily.
