I am writing a plugin to another application, and I must manage my own NIBs.
I have been successful loading them and getting some of the basic UI
elements working.
But, what I am having trouble with is communicating with "File's Owner".
When I instantiate the NIB, I pass my class as owner - then
I am successful creating/defining an accessoryView for an NSOpenPanel.
However, I find that some secondary windows that are displayed as a result
of a button in that accessory view, do not get displayed properly, nor am I
able to get keyboard focus to that window.
When I say "properly", the new w
This is a newbie question I am certain. I am experimenting with sheets with
a simple application (1st cocoa app) and want to display a simple alert
message as a sheet.
1) So my first mistake was to use NSRunAlertPanel(). Did its thing but gave
me an independent window.

Thanks.
I did finally find the crux of my problems; I had been trying to do all this
prototyping within the -awakeFromNib method. Apparently that is "too soon" -

How can I tell NSTextView to use a "front" or "middle" ellipses for viewing

I am struggling w/ a crash in my first Cocoa app that is using a TableView.
Some history: my app and its table view was working just fine when I was
simply adding NSString objects to the table.
Then I started using NSAttributedString instead so I could get the display
ellipses.

Good stuff! Thank you. That "mmObjectOwnership" doc is good. Had not seen
that before

I am new to NSTableView (and to Cocoa for that matter) so excuse my lame
questions.
I have an NSTableView doing what I want (kinda), but I want to modify its
behavior, and I am at a loss as where to begin.
What I want is this:

IB is kinda tricky here; one must "drill down" into the table view until
one can see the column properties. But I got there!

Ahhh. Certainly I was suspecting that the some other class wanted to deal
with the key equivelant.
