Problem: a declared property in a NSView subclass doesn't update members bound to it (with bindings) when in a mouseDragged method.
So I have a subclass of NSView that has an ivar that I declare as a property. In IB I have a NSTextField that I set the binding to the same variable (and I do everything required to add the NSView, use an IBOutlet in the AppDelegate, etc). I can confirm that the binding is connected because I set the ivar in the initWithFrame method and the NSTextField shows that value. Also I tried adding a button and connected it to an IBAction method, which worked fine. But when I click and drag the mouse and attempt to update the ivar with self.ivar within the mouseDragged (which I confirmed that it's being called), it doesn't update the ivar. I tried also updating it in the mouseUp method and that didn't work either. The only thing I can think of is it has something to do with the thread that bindings are in, which must be different that the thread that mouseDragged is in, but I can't confirm that nor know how to deal with it. Below is my code for my mouseDragged method. Any help would be greatly appreciated. -(void) mouseDragged:(NSEvent *)theEvent { NSPoint mouseLocation = [theEvent locationInWindow]; NSPoint convertedLocation = [self convertPoint:mouseLocation fromView:nil]; CGFloat difference = convertedLocation.y - dragStart; if([theEvent modifierFlags] & NSCommandKeyMask) // command key myDial->rotation = dragDialPos - (difference * 0.5); else myDial->rotation = dragDialPos - (difference * 3); // check limits if(myDial->rotation>= dialMaxLeft) myDial->rotation= dialMaxLeft; if(myDial->rotation<= dialMaxRight) myDial->rotation= dialMaxRight; // set the dialVal // this assumes that the range is 300 from -150 to 150 self.dialValue = (float) (-(myDial->rotation + 150.0) / 300.0) + 1.0; [selfsetNeedsDisplay:YES]; } GW _______________________________________________ Cocoa-dev mailing list (Cocoa-dev@lists.apple.com) Please do not post admin requests or moderator comments to the list.
