Are you sure "Visible at launch" isn't checked for the window in IB?

Note that it's ultimately not important whether you give the "local  
data copy" to the window controller before or after the window is  
loaded. You can't actually modify the window until after it's loaded.

Compilation: error on linking libcurl PPC 7.18 on my Cocoa project

[Michaël Parrot]

Hello,

To start portage of winwin project to Mac OS X I need to use the  
library libcurl 7.18 but the build faild on PPC link.


I downloaded two binaries from 
http://www.hmug.org/pub/MacOS_X/BSD/Applications/Internet/curl/
since the page http://curl.haxx.se/download.html

(Unfortunately, no Universal 7.18 build for moment...).

After, I use lipo to create UB at add this new UB into my project  
(file command confirm the ppc and i386 architectures).

But on link from xCode, It fail on linking the ppc target.

After basic operations (Clean All, checking Header files) I want to  
compile my project in PPC only with the downloaded PPC binary... but  
also not works !


I try all the day, testing the UB 7.16 version by Apple and this great  
work (but I need to use the 7.18).


I downloaded the source of 7.18 and make compilation with added gcc  
option -arch ppc to make (and confirm by file command) the ppc binary  
but It always fail...


What omit ? Where can search ? Thanks a lot everybody.

Visible at launch is not checked.

But are you suggesting that you cannot configure the window prior to  
displaying it? Or do you distinguish "load" from "display"? I'm  
trying to load it into memory, alter it, and then display.


Judging from debug sessions, the window and other top level objects  
(not to mention all the outlets) only come to life (get their  
addresses assigned) on entering awakeFromNib.

Determining NSTableView height when doing layout in IB

[Sean McBride]

Hi all,

Is it just me, or does IB not really provide a way to nicely set the
height of a tableview?  I would like for my tableviews to have a height
such that an integer number of rows fit, without any half rows visible.
Something like:

height of scroll view containing tableview = height of table header view
+ (num rows * row height) + height of horizontal scroller.

If I resize the height of a tableview in IB, I don't get any guide marks
(dotted blue lines).  Given that IB can't do this (or can it?), is my
little formula above correct?

Thanks,

I think the biggest problem with this would be implementing this logic
for any arbitrary view.  Though it would most certainly be nice.  File
a bug, maybe it'll happen (along with the restoration of all the
guides we lost from IB2... *grumble*).

Re: CATextLayer metrics

[Scott Anguish]

CATextLayer is largely a convenience class.  It provides text  
features, but very little flexibility.


You can easily subclass CALayer and create your own text layer that  
uses NSFont, complex text layout , and all the familiar methods.  Plus  
you'll get more flexibility.

No Undo in RubyCocoa CoreData apps?

[Knud Hinnerk Möller]

Hi,

I've asked this question in other places, but didn't get a good answer  
yet. So: if you create a basic ObjC coredata app from the appropriate  
template in XCode, you'll get undo support, as promised. If you create  
the same application with RubyCocoa (using the XCode template again),  
you don't. Are there some settings I need to set before undo support  
works? Or is this a bug in RubyCocoa?


Someone suggested that the undo menu item might not be hooked up to  
FirstResponder in the RubyCocoa template, but that is not the case.


I have also filed a bug about this with Apple (5771216)

Overall, it's great to have Ruby support for Cocoa, but in some places  
it's still a little shaky.


Cheers,
Knud

Hi, Jeremy,

You appear to have a few corrections that need to be made with  
your code.  To resolve these will help you on your way.  You  
should make the following changes before you try to get things  
working:


1. Remove the extraneous retain from your categoriesArray  
instantiation -- -alloc and -init produce a retained object.

2. Change:


NSString *string;
string = [NSString init];
string = @"Main Category";


to

NSString *string = @"Main Category";

  or

NSString *string = [NSString stringWithString:@"Main Category"];

3. Also note that [NSString init] is improper; you need [[NSString  
alloc] init] or [NSString string] -- but no matter what, it's a  
waste if you immediately set string to @"Main Category".


4. Is your controller class with the code that you gave all set up  
as the dataSource for the table view?  You'll need to connect that  
in Interface Builder.


If I can be of any more service, let me know.

I've manually set that to YES using IB3, and it did make a significant
difference in loading time, pretty close to the near-instant time of
TextEdit. However, when I try to scroll through the NSTextView using
the scroll bar, it often becomes unresponsive. I'm assuming this is
because only at that point is it rendering the layout for every
section I scroll past, which would make sense. Though, TextEdit
doesn't show this same behavior. So, I think it's a step closer!


TextEdit's source is all there for you to look at--it just uses  
standard NSTextViews.  It's difficult for us to tell without more  
information what settings you may have on your text views that might  
be different from what TextEdit is using, but you should be able to  
get the behavior of TextEdit in your application, if necessary by  
copying its code.

You can always turn on alternating row colors, resize to eliminate

Fixed Column in TableView?

[Jerry LeVan]

Hi,

I could not find much in the archives...

There have been several occasions where it would have been
very convenient to be able to pin the first column in
a table view.

I.e. looking at a wide table in a database where the
first column is a key value...

Has anyone figured out a way to keep the first column of a tableview
from scrolling out of sight when horizontal scrolling
is done?

Thanks,

Returning values from objc_msgSend etc

[Duncan McGregor]

Are there any Objective-C wizards out there who could review a few
conceptual and practical issues I have returning values from
objc_msgSend and its friends?

I've just released Rococoa, a generic replacement for the Cocoa-Java
bridge, under LGPL. Some things do not work as expected on PPC. I know
I really need to understand how objc_msgSend works, but cannot find a
complete discussion anywhere.

In short, my questions are

* If both objc_msgSend_stret and objc_msgSend hack the stack to return
different sized return values, why are there 2 functions?
* Should I call objc_msgSend_stret when returning longs on PPC?
* Do I really need to call objc_msgSend_fpret for floating point on Intel?

In long, my understanding of the issue is set out here:

https://rococoa.dev.java.net/objc_msgSend.html

If anyone could spare some time reading this document and putting me
straight, you'd be helping an up-and-coming open-source project. It
might even be tax-deductible.

Thanks in anticipation

Is there any way to coax better antialiasing out of drawing things

Try this:

I'm already doing this unfortunately...  Any other thoughts?

Hi all,

 I think I have solved this one. I wasn't setting the right type for

Re: Returning values from objc_msgSend etc

[Greg Parker]

On Feb 29, 2008, at 11:05 AM, Duncan McGregor wrote:

Are there any Objective-C wizards out there who could review a few
conceptual and practical issues I have returning values from
objc_msgSend and its friends?

I've just released Rococoa, a generic replacement for the Cocoa-Java
bridge, under LGPL. Some things do not work as expected on PPC. I know
I really need to understand how objc_msgSend works, but cannot find a
complete discussion anywhere.


The first thing to do is read and understand the Mac OS X ABI Function  
Call Guide. Objective-C messages follow the C calling conventions.

http://developer.apple.com/documentation/DeveloperTools/Conceptual/LowLevelABI/Introduction.html

Then the rules work like this. Note that the answers may differ for  
each architecture.


* If the return value is stored in one x87 floating-point register,  
use objc_msgSend_fpret. This includes i386 float/double/long double  
and x86_64 long double (but not float/double). On other architectures,  
objc_msgSend_fpret is identical to objc_msgSend.


* If the return value is stored in two x87 floating-point registers,  
use objc_msgSend_fp2ret. I think this is for i386/x86_64 _Complex long  
double only, but might also apply to a struct composed of two long  
double fields.


* If the return value is a struct, and the struct's address is passed  
as the first parameter, use objc_msgSend_stret. Note that some small  
structs on some architectures are returned in registers instead; don't  
use objc_msgSend_stret for them.


* If the return value is a ppc/ppc64 vector, stop. Objective-C  
messages don't support vector parameters.


* For everything else, use objc_msgSend.

When in doubt, write Objective-C code that returns the type you want,  
compile it, and use whichever function the generated assembly code  
chose. This is usually the way to go for structure returns, because  
each architecture has its own arcane rules about which structs are  
returned in registers and which are returned on the stack. ppc64  
struct return in particular is incomprehensible. And the compiler is  
always right; if the compiler and the documentation disagree about  
function calls, the documentation is changed.




* If both objc_msgSend_stret and objc_msgSend hack the stack to return
different sized return values, why are there 2 functions?


For sufficiently-large structures on all architectures, the caller  
passes the address of the storage for the return value as the first  
parameter. This means the other parameters are shifted. That in turn  
means objc_msgSend and objc_msgSend_stret need to look in different  
places to find `self` and `_cmd`.


Also, on i386, the callee pops that struct-return parameter, unlike  
the other parameters which are popped by the caller. So  
objc_msgSend_stret needs to pop the extra value when a message is sent  
to nil, and objc_msgSend doesn't.




* Should I call objc_msgSend_stret when returning longs on PPC?


No. On ppc, longs are 32-bit and returned in a single register. 64-bit  
integers are returned in two registers. Both cases use objc_msgSend.



* Do I really need to call objc_msgSend_fpret for floating point on  
Intel?


Yes. If a message is sent to nil, objc_msgSend_fpret pushes a zero on  
the x87 floating-point stack for the caller to pop. objc_msgSend can't  
do that, because the caller isn't expecting to pop anything.

Re: Custom View drawn twice?

[Ben Lachman]

Well, I finally was able to get this solved, but not to my  
satisfaction.  What I'm having to do is this:


	if( ! NSContainsRect(rect, [self visibleRect]) && ! NSEqualRects 
(rect,[self visibleRect]) ) {

[self setNeedsDisplayInRect:[self bounds]];
[self displayIfNeededIgnoringOpacity];

return;
}

which in my opinion is a really dirt hack and I'd love to find a  
better (real?) solution.  I'm pretty sure I'm just drawing twice  
between flushing the buffer, but I'm not sure how to debug it or  
prevent it.  Anyone run into something like this?


Thanks,

You can easily subclass CALayer and create your own text layer that

Plus you'll get more flexibility.


I guess that was the answer all along..


The irksome thing is that rolling your own text layer means

all for the want of some details of how the text is rendered...  If

But Scott is probably right in that I might want more flexibility than

Thanks again guys!

	It really isn't anything significant.  You can file a bug asking for  
more rendering details though..


You have very little to subclass and override mind you.

There was no interest in rebuilding any significant text layout there..

How to make a bevel button with pop-up menu?

[Sean McBride]

Hi all,

I'm trying to make a bevel button with pop-up menu (see HIG figure
15-28: ).

The instructions do not seem to work.  I just can't seem to get the
downward pointing arrow to be in the bottom right corner.  Instead it is
on the right edge, but centred vertically.

Anyone got this to work?

Thanks,

Re: Custom View drawn twice?

[Ken Ferry]

I don't see a problem in your drawRect: code, so it'd be in something
you haven't posted.  Perhaps you could post a sample application?

One possibility is that your -isOpaque method returns YES, so the view
system thinks it doesn't have to redraw your superview before asking
you to draw.

If you're subclassing NSView, you'd have to opt-in to return YES from
-isOpaque, but if you're subclassing a deeper AppKit view class, it
may already be marked as opaque.

Scrollers on custom view appearing but not disappearing

[Steve Weller]

I have a custom view into which I can draw a background color and a  
centered rectangle. As the window is resized, the rectangle stays  
centered and is clipped when the window gets small.


I want to define a canvas size slightly bigger than the rectangle and  
have the scrollers appear when the available space is less than the  
canvas needs. I override setFrameSize to do this:


- (void) setFrameSize:(NSSize)newSize
{
NSSize cSize;
cSize = [self canvasSize];   // Provides a size

// Use the larger dimensions of the two rects
if(newSize.width > cSize.width)
cSize.width = newSize.width;
if(newSize.height > cSize.height)
cSize.height = newSize.height;

 [super setFrameSize:cSize];
}

And this works as long as the window is only made smaller. If the  
window is made larger then the scrollers do not disappear.


Is my approach the right one for what I am trying to achieve?

If it is, how can I fix the scroller problem?

I hold mouse button down inside my window ,but outside myView.
I drag the mouse to myView . Can myView receive some events message?
If it can't , how can I send something to myView and tell it ,"Hey , the

Set up a NSTrackingArea on your view, with the option for entered/exit  
tracking, *and* the option for entered/exit tracking while dragging.  
You'll then get mouseEntered and mouseExited events in your view.

Probably not. There are various ways the view frame can change, and  
they don't all funnel through the setFrameSize method.


If you register to receive NSViewFrameDidChangeNotification's for your  
view (remembering to call setPostsFrameChangedNotifications: YES), it  
might work to do something like this in the notification method:


[[NSNotificationCenter defaultCenter] removeObserver: self];
NSRect frame = [self frame];

I implemented this with no change no behavior.

The higher level problem I am trying to solve is this:

My custom view spans the window's content view. I want to draw a white  
rectangle (think of a document) centered in that area and fill the  
remainder gray. In my drawRect method I first draw gray into the  
rectangle passed. Then I calculate where the white rectangle should be  
and draw it.


I need the scrollers to act on the bounds of the white rectangle so  
that they are present when any part of it is not visible.


Should I be putting my custom view inside another view and doing the  
centering and background color with IB instead?


What is the best way of implementing this?

Re: Scrollers on custom view appearing but not disappearing

I need the scrollers to act on the bounds of the white rectangle so  
that they are present when any part of it is not visible.


The question is, where are your scroll bars coming from? Did you put  
your custom view inside a scroll view, or did you add scroll bars  
manually?


When the scroll bars fail to disappear, if you manually drag the  
thumb, what happens? It's possible you'll have to adjust the frame  
origin as well as the width.

There is always too much frame once the scroll bars appear.


That's something only you can debug. If you break on the frame change  
notification, you should be able to watch the wrong frame being  
calculated.

I have a custom view into which I can draw a background color and a  
centered rectangle. As the window is resized, the rectangle stays  
centered and is clipped when the window gets small.


I want to define a canvas size slightly bigger than the rectangle  
and have the scrollers appear when the available space is less than  
the canvas needs. I override setFrameSize to do this:


- (void) setFrameSize:(NSSize)newSize
{
NSSize cSize;
cSize = [self canvasSize];   // Provides a size

// Use the larger dimensions of the two rects
if(newSize.width > cSize.width)
cSize.width = newSize.width;
if(newSize.height > cSize.height)
cSize.height = newSize.height;

 [super setFrameSize:cSize];
}

And this works as long as the window is only made smaller. If the  
window is made larger then the scrollers do not disappear.


Is my approach the right one for what I am trying to achieve?

If it is, how can I fix the scroller problem?


I figured it out. Key to my confusion was that I was not involving the  
superview in the calculation.

In my -awakeFromNib I put this code:

// Receive notifications if the frame changes
[self setPostsBoundsChangedNotifications: YES];

NSNotificationCenter *center = [NSNotificationCenter defaultCenter] ;
[center addObserver: self
   selector: @selector(frameDidChangeNotification:)
   name: NSViewFrameDidChangeNotification
 object: self];

NSSize cSize;
cSize = [self canvasSize];
[self setFrame:NSMakeRect(0,0,cSize.width,cSize.height)];

and I added

// The frame has changed
-(void)frameDidChangeNotification:(NSNotification *)notification
{

[[NSNotificationCenter defaultCenter] removeObserver: self];
NSRect frame = [[self superview] frame];
NSSize cSize;
cSize = [self canvasSize];

// Use the larger dimensions of the canvas and the superview
if(frame.size.width > cSize.width)
cSize.width = frame.size.width; 
if(frame.size.height > cSize.height)
cSize.height = frame.size.height;

	[self  
setFrame:NSMakeRect 
(frame.origin.x,frame.origin.y,cSize.width,cSize.height)];

//  NSLog(@"%f %f",newSize.width, newSize.height);

NSNotificationCenter *center = [NSNotificationCenter defaultCenter] ;
[center addObserver: self
   selector: @selector(frameDidChangeNotification:)
   name: NSViewFrameDidChangeNotification
 object: self];

}

This figures out the rectangle that encloses both the canvas and the  
superview's frame and makes my custom view's frame equal to that. The  
only remaining thing to fix is that the lower left point is always  
shown in the view, when I actually want the center point to be shown.  
So I have to shift the frame origin as part of the calculation.

A couple of small points:

-- It's not quite correct to use the superview's frame to calculate a  
view's frame, since they are in different coordinate systems. You  
really should use [[self superview] bounds], which is in the same  
coordinate system as [self frame].


The problem is harmless in this case, because the superview is a  
NSClipView, which happens to keep its frame coordinate system  
synchronized with that of view it contains, but this is not generally  
true of view-superview geometry.


-- If you want to refer to the clip view, [[self enclosingScrollView]  
contentView] is more correct than [self superview]. The fact that  
they're the same thing is an implementation detail. (But if you're  
going to pretend not to know they're the same you really should do an  
explicit coordinate conversion when combining their dimensions.)


-- As someone suggested on this list a few weeks ago, it's perhaps  
marginally more elegant to use [self visibleRect] instead of the clip  
view bounds. Although the purpose of the clip view is to manage the  
visible rect of the view it contains, using the visible rect directly  
means you don't have to build in knowledge of that implementation  
detail. And there's no coordinate conversion needed.

Re: Charting API?

[Robert Douglas]

When I looked into this last fall I decided I liked the look of  
DataGraph and bought a license, but then I ran into  trouble   
incorporating it into a garbage-collected app and started writing my  
own.  Mind you, that could have been me and my Fortran IV - imprinted  
brain, but now I too am reevaluating the situation.   GC is no longer  
relevant as I'm using core video buffers, but now I'm worried about  
the long-term viability of all the libraries mentioned (DataGraph,  
SM2DGraphView, Vvidget,  Google Chart, Narrative etc.).   I'm inclined  
to go with SM2DGraphView as the source code is available and  
understandable.

Apple's framework is private.  I've been toying with SM2DGraphView,
it's pretty nice:
