Hi Jerry, you’re welcome - nice to be able to make a contribution again :) I’ve updated the source a little - adds NSCoding, NSCopying, finer control with option and temporary snap on tickmarks with shift, plus allows the control to be scaled to a different size better (scales various rects rather than using fixed insets). I’ve also overridden the NSControl methods to get and set the value as int, float, NSInteger and string as well as double so it’s easier to use in a normal control’s place (these all end up setting the doubleValue). I know what you mean about the mouse dragging, it’s a pain when controls seem baulky because they expect some complicated motion. I think Howard’s suggestion of also interpreting horizontal distance would be a good improvement as well, but I haven’t implemented that yet. http://apptree.net/code/GCVolumeControl.zip —Graham _______________________________________________ Cocoa-dev mailing list (Cocoa-dev@lists.apple.com) Please do not post admin requests or moderator comments to the list.
