Re: Identifying a specific Mac model

Hello, John, I use this to get the model number: + (NSString *)computerModel { char modelBuffer[256]; size_t sz = sizeof(modelBuffer); if (0 == sysctlbyname("hw.model", modelBuffer, &sz, NULL, 0)) { modelBuffer[sizeof(modelBuffer) - 1] = 0;

Adding Constraints in Code

This looks like you are trying to push both the stack view and the detail view to the left and to the right at the same time, inconsistent with the overall horizontal constraint. Isn’t the error message indicating that there is something wrong with the provided options? I’d experiment with thos

Those new images are simply not where they should be: " /System/Library/CoreServices/CoreTypes.bundle/Contents/Resources/" I think your only way is to grab serial code and scrape the image that is displayed here: https://selfsolve.apple.com/agreementWarrantyDynamic.do e.g. It shows color of my i

Re: Identifying a specific Mac model

Thanks for the responses. Unfortunately, Apple is way ahead of all of us. The “Model Identifier” (MacBook8,1 et al.) is not sufficient to identify a particular model. It only identifies general families of models. All you have to do is go to My OWC (http://eshop.macsales.com/MyOWC/

Also, it displays the view if I comment out the constraints adding code, so I’m pretty sure detail view is setup ok. ___ Cocoa-dev mailing list (Cocoa-dev@lists.apple.com) Please do not post admin requests or moderator comments to the list. Contact

Re: Adding Constraints in Code

Without digging into your code, it sounds like you've got some wrong assumptions of how things work and that you're doing way too much. Try taking Apple's example and iteratively add your own pieces: https://developer.apple.com/library/mac/samplecode/InfoBarStackView/Introduction/Intro.html#//ap

I’ve looked at that and have in fact based some of my code on it. Unfortunately InfoBarStackView isn’t very “real-world” and I can’t use it as is. This code works fine, I just need to know how to make a view added to a NSScrollView/StackVIew Combo stretch to the Right of the ScrollView. The oth

Re: Adding Constraints in Code

You shouldn’t have to add any constraints to the direct children of a StackView (and in fact, you will most likely get an error if you try), since the StackView will make its own constraints and manages them for you. My guess is that the StackView is not resizing with the ScrollView. You can t

Oh yeah, it does on iOS, but not OS X. Sorry about that. On OS X, you need to layer back it and set the layer’s background color. stackview.wantsLayer = YES stackview.layer.backgroundColor = [NSColor blueColor] (Note: The above was written in mail, so it may take a little tweaking to work) Tha

Hi, [self.pValidationIssueScrollView setBackgroundColor:[NSColor redColor]]; self.pValidationListStackView.wantsLayer = YES; self.pValidationListStackView.layer.backgroundColor = [[NSColor blueColor] CGColor]; Did the trick! When I run it, the StackView grows with the ScrollView, e.g. it’s Blue

best way to implement a clickable grid?

I would probably just implement it as a custom NSView. Then it doesn’t even have to be represented in memory as a grid; you just remember the level for each x coord and fill in the appropriate squares when drawing. > Or is there a better way to handle click events on a simple NSView? Just overr

Hey Patrick, An interesting problem. Depending on how far you want to take this, how much this view will be reused, how customizable it needs to be, etc. will inform your design decisions. Just off the top of my head…If the number of blocks in each cell is fixed, it might be easy to make a cus
