how to change NSButton color

Hi List, I would like to know what you can suggest when changing the color of NSButton. I have read everywhere that I need to subclass NSButtonCell and NSButton as well, is this the only way to do it for Mac? I'm surprised that this is how complicated it is in Mac. Why NSButton doesn't have any

Hi guys, I've been searching around but could not find a community link blog for Cocoa developers as we have in the ruby community ( http://www.rubyflow.com/ ). Is there anything like that for Objective-C/iOS/MacOS dev? - Maurício Linhares http://about.me/mauricio.linhares __

Re: Core data autosave

Yes, I did wonder about using the undo manager instead - talked about it briefly with one of my staff, but haven't kind of worked out the details of how that would work yet though. I'll give it some more thought this afternoon. And yes, I already use GCUndoManager - it has saved me countless hou

Re: Undo in conjunction with core data

Thanks for that suggestion Dave. I'm trying to understand how this would work. While a tree controller would be able to represent the whole hierarchy, I think maybe for the things I am trying to achieve here, I would be easier to use an array controller on the children, and keep it at a managea

Core data autosave

I need to autosave my documents in my core data document based application I must say I was surprised and disappointed when I found out that Core Data doesn't appear to have any autosave support built in and NSPersistentDocument doesn't support the superclass NSDocument autosave architecture.

Re: Undo in conjunction with core data

One way to do this through the MVC paradigm is to bind an NSArrayController or NSTreeController to your managed object context (in Entity mode), and then have your view layer bind or use KVO with the selectedObjects or arrangedObjects attribute of the controller. On 2011-01-21, at 7:03 PM, Kenn

Undo in conjunction with core data

I am trying to work out an issue with undo in a few places in my application, and think if I "get it" with one of the places, I should be able to apply the same theory elsewhere. I have a parent and children relationship, and need to have a few things happen during the process of adding and de

Prevent windows from opening multiple times

Hi, I've implemented a simple Preferences window using example code from a Cocoa handbook. When opening the window, the window controller is created and initialized with a nib file. When closing the window, the window object resources are (auto)released in the windowWillClose delegate method.

Hi Rick, Don't use the NSURLConnection synchronous method, it's non-cancellable and blocks the calling thread until timeout, or completion. A better block based NSURLRequest method would be as follows (typed in Mail from memory): > @implementation NSOperationQueue (MyAdditions) > > typedef N
