Thanks for the reply . Is there a way to set an error or warning for use of deprecated API during compilation ? Thanks Rajendran P On 9/1/11 10:31 AM, "KappA" wrote: I never said I was using the "mnemonic" feature... just using it for setting plain text. Is that what you are curious to see?

Re: Possible causes of "attempted layout while textStorage is editing"?

Hmmm, I see that there is a place in my code where they can be editing the text view, and then they mouse down in its containing view, and that triggers an event to be posted through NSApp at the end of the event queue and an autorelease being sent to the enclosing view which would eventually re

When and where to call [NSWindow setRestorationClass]?

Hi, I am implementing the Lion's User Interface Preservation, and must be overlooking something. The Mac OS X Application Programming Guide says: "Every window is expected to identify a class that knows about the window and can act on its behalf at launch time. This class is known as the restorat

Calendar Groups in CalCalendarStore

In iCal you can organize your Calendars in a hierarchical fashion. But it seems like these relationships are not exposed via CalCalendarStore http://developer.apple.com/library/mac/#documentation/AppleApplications/Reference/CalendarStoreFramework/Classes/CalCalendarStore_Class/Reference/Reference.

[Q] Handling "cancel" or "stop" button for NSProgressIndicator and on-going task

Overwhelming Options

I have an app with some groups of checkboxes...and it really takes up too much space in the UI. It is a utility app, but it has about 7 different matricies of about 6 checkboxes eachso lots of options...and it can be overwhelming at times. I'd like to design a better UI so as to not take up

You could probably catch this before attempting to launch the task. Create a new NSBundle object pointing at the executable path, and then ask the bundle for the -executableArchitectures, and see if one of the returned values matches the architecture of the machine you're running. If it matches

Hi Dave, Thanks for your reply. I was hoping to avoid handling that inspection myself, but even if I go that route there's another problem: the ancillary tool isn't a proper bundle, it's just a plain executable, so NSBundle's initializers will just return nil. That's a pity because there's even
