Re: How to get my application version from inside my code?

This is already shown in the default About box window, which is sufficient for most apps. But if you really need to have your own custom About box, you can get most of that information from -[NSBundle objectForInfoDictionaryKey:] -Steven On Sat, Feb 27, 2010 at 4:21 PM, Bengt Nilsson wrote

Re: Forcing the package bit

I believe this can be accomplished by exporting a new UTI that describes your package type (probably by extending com.apple.package or something like that). This would be done inside your app's Info.plist file. -Steven On Mon, Mar 1, 2010 at 8:14 PM, Graham Cox wrote: > I need to

Re: Uninitialized rectangle??

Are you sure that your NSStatusBar or NSStatusItem instances are nil, and not just what's returned from -view? I see no reason that it should be nil, and no proof that it is. (To be fair, I only skimmed this mess of a thread.) -Steven On Thu, Mar 4, 2010 at 12:05 PM, fabian wrote: >

Re: Uninitialized rectangle??

allow you to access that view's -window and thus the -frame of the NSWindow. Keep in mind though that this is a hack, and also usually very unnecessary and bad and against the HIG in the first place. -Steven On Thu, Mar 4, 2010 at 2:01 PM, fabian wrote: > On Thu, Mar 4, 2010 at 7:
