Computing the height for a UITableViewHeaderFooterView

2013-08-05 Thread Rick Mann
Is there any way around manually providing the height for a table header view? If I simply provide a title string for the header, UITableView is able to compute the height itself. But if I use a UITableViewHeaderFooterView and set the textLabel and detailTextLabel, I also have to set the height

As Jens explained, your does not have a clean answer. Doing a HEAD request is "optimal" (huge reduction in network traffic) if you can accept NO answers from a tiny percentage of sites which will won't return data to a HEAD request, even though they will return data to a GET.

Any way to delay drawing after scrolling?

We have a view subclass contained in an NSScrollView. After certain operations (such as changing the view scale) we need to change the scroll position, which we do via scrollPoint:, which in turn calls display on the view instead of setNeedsDisplay:YES (which makes sense for simply scroll events

You might take a look at some of the Apple sample code like FunkyOverlayWindow It does not do this exactly but does show how to place a view over other views and draw things. If I recall correctly. Sent from my iPhone On 2013/08/04, at 23:44, Nick Rogers wrote: > Hi, > > I have a column of

How can I check if an URL on a remote server is valid and exists, without loading the website first? I tried [myURL checkResourceIsReachableAndReturnError: &error], but that always returns false, even for a very common URL such as http://www.apple.com/. That gives me @"NSCocoaErrorDomain" - cod

Fantastic! I knew these forums were useful. I’ll delve into that and see if I can make that work. Thanks. There should only be one page, but the pieceInfo is under the page level. I won’t be editing it (other than size and baseline) — I just need to identify it. The original program edits it.

Since you’re getting some result, I’ll assume you’re doing this in Cocoa, not CocoaTouch (that only really supports English). In this case, I don’t see why you need the lexical tagging, when the lemma tagging would suffice and should yield the expected result without your need to post-process th
