Updating tracking areas Rect

Hello all. I have this simple thing to do, but I can't find how to. Im declaring tracking areas for my view to be the a small portion of the bottom part of it, this is to allow resizing of the view, and be able to updateCursor when the mouse is over it.. now.. when I set the view for first tim

Thanks, but that doesn't work for me. However I've now created a small test program where changing the control size works correctly, so I think I can narrow it down to see what causes the problem. Best regards, Frederik Slijkerman Kyle Sluder wrote: On Sun, Dec 27, 2009 at 12:45 PM, Frederik

Re: Shared CoreData DataModel and DB file..

Yes. If you use the SQLite store, it automatically uses filesystem locking. Indeed, that is how CalendarStore and AddressBook operate under the hood these days I believe. The major caveat is that the locking doesn't work if the file is accessed from two different filesystems. i.e. a local file

Nice! I suspected as much. So, I should implement a file lock mechanism, as well, then. I have every reason to believe that people would use the database file over a network filesystem. bob.. On Dec 28, 2009, at 10:09 AM, Mike Abdullah wrote: > Yes. If you use the SQLite store, it automatica

Re: Shared CoreData DataModel and DB file..

Ideally, it is on the same machine, with the same user. Again, the DB file is read only, and due to the nature of the data, it isn't likely that the data will be updated while the plugin is reading. I still need to do better planning. bob. On Dec 28, 2009, at 10:29 AM, Mike Abdullah wrote: > B
