Re: Need advice on a custom run-loop mode

Maybe spoke too soon, as so far I’ve been unsuccessful in getting this to work as I wish. My code does perform the series of undos, but I can’t see the results until the end - the window isn’t refreshed on each pass of the runloop as I expected. Here’s my code: - (BOOL)performU

Scrolling table view when the keyboard appears

I’m implementing a chat message view with a table view and a text field underneath it. I want the most recent messages at the bottom, and the scroll position always to stay at the last row in the table. There are some tricks to making sure the table scrolls to the bottom when it’s first drawn a

Question about orderFront/orderBack etc.

Hi All, I’ve written some code that keep track of the currently active Application and the currently focused window within that application. Basically I have a number of windows in my own app and I keep a mirror of the Apps I am interested in, for instance, if I’m working with TextEdit and Prev

Need advice on a custom run-loop mode

Hi all, I have a situation that I *think* calls for a custom run-loop mode, but I’ve never used such a thing before, so it’s not that clear how to do it. The situation is this: I want to be able to schedule a repeating timer which will repeatedly invoke Undo until it reaches a certain predefine

NSSplitViewController contents are shifted at first

I have a Storyboard using autolayout constraints. I have an NSWindowController with an NSSplitViewController as its content view controller. That has two sub controllers. The left one has an NSOutlineView that has top,left,right, and bottom constraints to its containing view, and a width >= 200.
