Incremental parsing/highlighting in an NSTextView via shouldChangeTextInRange delegate method

Hi, I want to highlight @mentions, #hashtags and links in an NSTextView as the user types. I've been thinking I'd implement this via the shouldChangeTextInRange delegate method. My plan is as follows: I'm going to construct the new string (via stringByReplacingCharactersInRange:affectedCharRange

Re: Installing application on a network onto several computers

In a small scenario like that, you'd probably be pretty happy with something like Apple Remote Desktop (although it's expensive if this is a one off scenario). Basically you'd install ARD on the teacher's workstation and then push the pkg out to the rest of the classroom through that software.

I think there's actually a typo in the second sentence. If you look in the Thread-Safe section above that, it refers to instances: "The following classes and functions are generally considered to be thread-safe. You can use the same instance from multiple threads without first acquiring a lock."

Re: The simplest way to fade out a view

No, only fade out (and fade in) effects are needed. I just added frame movement to see if animation works at all. Animation does work, but the fade does not happen - no matter, if the frame is moved simultaneously or not. 2011/5/20 Gustavo Pizano : > So you want to move an object then fade it out

Re: The simplest way to fade out a view

So you want to move an object then fade it out right? AFAIK NSViewAnimation its for simply animations, triggering other animations after a previous one has completed may not work with this. What about using CABasicAnimation instead and call the delegate methods when it stops to trigger the fa

I only added this "NSViewAnimationEndFrameKey" just to make sure that any animation happens at all. Yeah it does  happen.

While that’s true for some classes (NSManagedObjectContext springs to mind) I think a more general way to say it would be “In most cases, although you can allocate instances of these classes on any thread, refrain from messaging an instance from more than one thread simultaneously.” Jeff Kelley

sorry putting again on the list, you could always ask the animator proxy to do the sutff the only thing you neeed to set is to tell the NSView to accept layers to YES then [[[myview] animator] setAlpha:0.0]; that will fade it . On May 19, 2011, at 7:04 PM, Mikkel Islay wrote: > >>> Yes,
