awakeFromNib

Hello, I am setting up a preferences window, and I would like awakeFromNib: to be invoked earlier than it does. Currently, it only gets invoked when the preferences window is shown / opened. I expected that there might be an option to specify this in the .nib file itself, and I got my hopes u

awakeFromNib

Hello, After some exploration into NSWindowController methods, I found that invoking [... window] after initWithWindowNibName had the desired result. +(PreferencesController *) sharedPreferencesController { if (!sharedPreferencesController) { sharedPreferencesController = [[self allo

NSBezierPath fill pattern?

Hello, I'm hoping to find a way to fill an NSBezierPath with a bitmap pattern of arbitrary size - probably something like 32x32. It will be a 2-color "on-off" (foreground-background) pattern where each color can be defined by the user. Looking through the NSBezierPath class documentation, not

registration code issues

Hello, My Cocoa Application is currently in beta, and there is a single beta tester who insists his registration code is not working. I've extensively looked into the issue and it seems that the code works correctly up to the if statement which simply says: if ([validCode isEqualToString:ente

keydown, determining if a keypress was "repeated"

Hello, When a keyDown event is received, does anyone know how to determine whether the event was caused by a key press or a timed repeat? For example, when the x key is pressed and held, I would prefer to ignore the events following the initial key press. Thanks in advance, -Dave H.

KeyDown woes =(

Hello, I have been using keyDown for many years now, and thought I knew all the tricks to make it work... But now I have an NSOpenGLView subclass whose window is an NSPanel subclass without a title bar, that is the first responder and overrides the keydown: method, and yet beeps every time a k

keydown woes update

interrupting a modified document save (as) invocation, security

Hello, I'm finalizing an application which disallows document saving when not registered.  I've put interrupts in my NSDocument subclass' -saveDocument: and -saveDocumentAs: methods so that [super ...] is only invoked if the application is registered. However, I've just noticed that when a doc

display optimization / display rectangles

Hello, I'm working on optimizing a document based application, and I've found that overdrawing is a significant contributor to the (tolerable, but non-ideal) performance issues I am experiencing. The reason overdrawing occurs is as follows: Let's say the user draws a line in the document from
