Re: How to get my application version from inside my code?

This is already shown in the default About box window, which is sufficient for most apps. But if you really need to have your own custom About box, you can get most of that information from -[NSBundle objectForInfoDictionaryKey:] -Steven On Sat, Feb 27, 2010 at 4:21 PM, Bengt Nilsson wrote

Re: Webview and dynamic content

Store them in your app's bundle. Related, if you want my 2¢, try as often as you can to avoid using a WebView. If you can replace its functionality with native Cocoa (and Touch) controls then that is the recommended development path. -Steven On Sat, Feb 27, 2010 at 5:39 AM, Jere Gmail

Re: Setting parent window

;s a really bad user experience to have a modal window when one is not required. Please look into reading Apple's documents called the Human Interface Guidelines, your users (and fellow developers on this list) will really appreciate it. -Steven On Thu, Feb 25, 2010 at 7:38 PM, Gaurav Sri

Re: Removing quit button from dock menu

hey can quit it from the Dock in 2 ways (Quit or Force Quit). The recommended first step is to read the Human Interface Guidelines on what an app should and should not do. If you read and follow the HIG, your users will like you a lot better. -Steven On Wed, Feb 24, 2010 at 4:20 AM, yogin bharg

Re: Removing quit button from dock menu

As I mentioned before, doing this is not supported by Apple. What kind of app are you creating, and why exactly are you under the belief that users must not be able to quit it from the Dock? -Steven On Tue, Feb 23, 2010 at 1:33 AM, yogin bhargava wrote: > I dont want to allow the user to q

Re: Help with creating CustomViews

ame of the correct XIB it requires. Then, in the rest of your code, instantiate your NSViewController subclass and ask for its NSView via the -view accessor. Add the NSView anywhere you want. I often do this by using an NSBox and using -setContentView: -Steven On Fri, Feb 19, 2010 at 4:20 PM, Jean-He

Re: Removing quit button from dock menu

This is not supported because users should be able to quit any app they choose. However, if your app is a Kiosk app, then there are other measurements you can take to make sure it runs in Kiosk mode. Look in Apple's docs for "kiosk mode" for more details. -Steven On Mon, Feb 22,

s bindings like this, so I've been looking for a "built-in" alternative. So now I'm wondering if "selectedobjec...@count" is a good alternative. Have yet to try it, but it looks viable. -Steven On Fri, Feb 19, 2010 at 8:27 AM, Ken Thomases wrote: > On Feb 19, 2010

Re: Proper way to initialize application support file

Apple's docs explicitly say that this folder should only contain files that are *not* necessary for the app to function normally. Files that are necessary should be inside your app bundle, usually. -Steven On Wed, Feb 17, 2010 at 4:21 PM, Paul Johnson wrote: > I am working on a Docume
