selectText of NSTextField on focus

I have a NSTextField subclass that selects all of the text when the user clicks it. This is accomplished by overriding becomeFirstResponder. - (BOOL)becomeFirstResponder { BOOL result = [super becomeFirstResponder]; if(result) { [self performSelector:@selector(selectText:) withObj

Errors resulting from Cocoa datatype changes 10.9 -> 10.10

We have a legacy Cocoa library of mathematical algorithms that has worked fine since OS X 10.6, but running this same code on 10.10 results in odd numerical errors (that is, incorrect results). I'm thinking this could be the result of differences in ILP32 vs LP64? The code variables are ints and p

Swift Enums and CoreData

I have an object class which maps to a CoreData object. Each instance of this object contains a one-to-many relationship to a set of subsidiary objects, each of which describes an event. That is, each main object has an array of events. Now there are a number of different event types (around a h

Re: Errors resulting from Cocoa datatype changes 10.9 -> 10.10

Carl, There is nothing wrong with the code. It is good C code from the good ole days. Size of pointers has no effect, other than in the total sizes of the arrays being allocated. Similar for the size of ints themselves. However, you stop short in your example, and you don’t show either how you

Re: selectText of NSTextField on focus

Hi Richard, When the instance of your NSTextField subclass becomes first responder, you have access to the NSText object (the field editor) and I believe you can use its methods to select the text. (I don't see why you can't, but since I haven't tried it myself, I'm saying "I believe.") Sincere

I'm having a heck of a time connecting UIViews to my classes. I have a UICollectionViewCell subclass with a bunch of subviews. One of those is custom. While I can drag from views to the Swift code for the UICollectionViewCell subclass, it keeps trying to connect it to a storyboard in a completel
