play time

I have a QTMovieView, I'd like to find out when the user clicks the control. So I subclass it, and override 'play:'. My 'play:' is never called. I couldn't find a notification or delegate method corresponding to 'movie did start playing'. I tried QTMovieStatusStringPostedNotification, but am

Fwd: NSPasteboardItem kPasteboardTypeFileURLPromise

I've been struggling with the new NSPasteboard APIs as well. The lack of sample code is appalling. I finally got file promises to work by incorporating some low level pasteboard manager calls. Note that NSPasteboard is not toll-free bridged with PasteboardRef, but you can go back & forth between

I've opened radar #10954811 about the appearance of placeholder text in a multi-line NSTextField. If the placeholder is sufficiently long, when a user clicks the field and starts typing, only the first line of placeholder text gets cleared until the edit is finished. I ran across this while pickin

How do IB inspector fields relate to the actual objects?

Re: How are views supposed to reload after being nillified by memory warnings?

Thanks guys. The problem happens with no override of loadView. I only overrode it to verify that it was being called after the memory warning, and to verify that nibName was set. In viewDidLoad, I just instantiate a data collection and progress indicator. _
