triangulating webcams

2008-07-12 Thread em
I'm proto-typing a tri-screen GUI.  I have 3 mac minis in a local network and 
would like to triangulate 
their three web-cams.   It's purely exploratory self-funded research on my part 
at this point. 
Any positive, constructive replies would be appreciated.

Problem: Glyps get drawn outside Line Fragment Rect.

2008-07-12 Thread chaitanya pandit

In my custom NSTextView i override NSTextContainer's
lineFragmentRectForProposedRect: sweepDirection: movementDirection:  
remainingRect:
method to lay text only in certain parts of the text view, so in this  
method, i return the line fragment rectangles in which i allow text to  
be laid.


The problem is that, in certain cases like very large fonts, glyphs  
are drawn outside the returned line fragment rect. even though the  
width of the returned line fragment is too small to accommodate the  
glyph.

How can i prevent this?

Re: how to get the status of network when the network is set disable.

2008-07-12 Thread xiaobin
Thank you the quickly advices of Michael and Mike very much.

I test Michael's sample, it works well. But I think the
SCNetworkReachability API is also used to try to connect to the
server, right?

What I want is to get the status of the network without any connection
to the server. Maybe What I said is not so clearly.

Finally, I found the SCDynamicstore API and the following sample

http://www.cocoabuilder.com/archive/message/cocoa/2006/7/21/168076

it seems to give me what i need. I think exactly I need to get the
status of the system configuration.

thank you again

2008/7/10 Mike [EMAIL PROTECTED]:
 The SCF documentation specifically says SC routines cannot be used to test
 *remote* reachability and should only be used to test whether a packet can
 *leave* the host. If this is all you need, then Michael's example will work.
 If you need to test remote reachability, you will need to devise some other
 method.

 Mike

 Try the SCNetworkReachability API...

 I borrowed the following from one of Apple's examples:

 - (BOOL)isDataSourceAvailable
 {
static BOOL checkNetwork = YES;
if (checkNetwork) { // Since checking the reachability of a host can be
 expensive, cache the result and perform the reachability check once.
checkNetwork = NO;

Boolean success;
const char *host_name = http://localhost:8080;;
  SCNetworkReachabilityRef reachability =
 SCNetworkReachabilityCreateWithName(NULL, host_name);
SCNetworkReachabilityFlags flags;
success = SCNetworkReachabilityGetFlags(reachability, flags);
_isDataSourceAvailable = success  (flags 
 kSCNetworkFlagsReachable)  !(flags  kSCNetworkFlagsConnectionRequired);
}
return _isDataSourceAvailable;
 }

 Hello,

 I am writing a program to detect the status of network.

 In my program, I need get the status of network when the connection is
 set disable.  here it is not by connecting the network to get the
 status.
 which API or method can work for it?

 for example, if my lan cable is unpluged or the network is set
 disable, it is certainly to know the status of the network is off. so
 it is not necessary to connect the network to get the status.
 so I want to know When it is clearly to know the status of the network
 is on or off, which API or method can get the status.

 I have read the example of apple's document for  using CFDiagnostics
 to check whether the network is connected or not, but I think it is
 not for my need.  It is by connecting the network to get the status.

 Would anyone can give me a help ?

 Thanks a lot

Re: Trashing files and undo

On Jul 12, 2008, at 2:25 AM, Ruotger Skupin wrote:


Hi,

if I get you right, you are suggesting I put an alias to the file  
into (say) ~/Library/Application Support/MyApp/UndoAliases/ remember  
the original path/filename then trash the file. To get it back I  
resolve the alias and move/rename it.


What's the advantage over the FSRef solution Charles proposed?


He's not referring to making an alias *file*, just an alias in memory.  
To do that, you make an FSRef first as I described, then you use  
FSNewAlias() with NULL as the first argument, a pointer to your FSRef  
as the second argument, and a pointer to an AliasHandle as the third  
argument. Later, you can use FSResolveAlias() to get the FSRef back,  
and then you resolve the FSRef into a file path.


The advantage is, as Gregory mentioned, that you can store the alias  
in your preferences (after encoding it to an NSData or something) and  
load it back again the next time your program launches. I also think  
FSRefs don't stay valid if the disk that the file is on gets ejected,  
although I may be wrong about that one. My guess is that Undo support  
doesn't really need to persist across program launches, so in my  
opinion you'd be fine with an FSRef, although doing a little extra  
work and getting an AliasHandle wouldn't really hurt anything. It's up  
to you, I guess.

You're very welcome :-)


One further question for you, if you will. I got curious and went off
hunting for the inline refcount in NSCFString but couldn't find it.


Yeah, NSCFString doesn't actually declare any of its instance  
variables, which are actually those of the private CFString structure  
it uses.



The closest I got was the '_rc' field in CFRuntimeBase, but it's
inside an #if __LP64__ clause, so we don't get it in normal code these
days. The __CFString struct doesn't seem to have any place to store a
refcount. Am I missing something here, or does it only have an inline
refcount in 64-bit?


No, the inline reference count is available for all CF objects, and  
not limited to 64 bit.


What version of the structure are you looking at?  For example  http://www.cocoadev.com/index.pl?HowToCreateTollFreeBridgedClass 
 shows this version, which matches what I got from opensource.apple.com



/* All CF instances start with this structure.  Never refer to

typedef struct __CFRuntimeBase {

#elif defined(__i386__)

Servicing Core Animations?

2008-07-12 Thread Chilton Webb
Hi,

I have a core animation layer backed view that doesn't animate. It only happens 
to not animate during mousedown events. Is there something I have to do to make 
it work, or is it likely I'm short circuiting something, somewhere?

It doesn't animate, or move at all. But when I release the mouse, the animated 
object just 'shows up' at the target location. If I don't create any mousedown 
event during the transition, it fires and animates properly. 

Thank you for any suggestions!

mysterious core data crash

2008-07-12 Thread Daniel Richman

Hi All,

I'm trying to create a simple Core Data app. I've done this before with 
success. I'm using an NSArrayController set to Entity mode. The entity 
is a chemical with three string attributes: chemid, name, and 
description. In MyDocument.xib, I've created a table view and done all 
the bindings, etc. I have an Add button that will send the add: message 
to the array controller.


Whenever I try to add a new item, the app crashes. I don't get the 
normal gdb window: instead I get a window that says 'loading stack 
frames' and the assembly code. The line that the program seems to be 
stuck on is this:


0x92efbfe2  +0018  call   0x92efbfe7 CFBagAddValue+23

But here's the really strange part: if I have only one column bound to 
the array controller (any one: chemid, name, OR description), the whole 
thing works fine. I'm completely stumped.


The project is online at http://danielrichman.com/tmp/ChemTrak.zip.

Thanks for your help. This isn't at all urgent.

Daniel

Updating print panel preview

2008-07-12 Thread chaitanya pandit
I have a  document based application in which  i need to print about  
50-70 pages of NSTextView, the  printing is working fine, but in the  
small print preview shown in the print panel, it doesn't show all the  
pages.
Like if there are say 50 pages to be printed, it'll show only abt 20  
pages in the print panel preview, but when i print, it prints all the  
50 pages.


I think what happens is that my textView is still not completed with  
laying the text by the time the print panel pops down, so is there any  
way i can update the view in the print panel when i'm done with laying  
the text in the text view?
I tried using NSPrintPanelAccessorizing and calling a method which  
is registered with keyPathsForValuesAffectingPreview when i'm done  
with text layout.
But if i have attachments in the text, it crashes and raises an  
exception saying:
2008-07-12 15:38:42.115 testApp[5322:10b] Unlocking Focus on wrong  
view (NSPrintThumbnailView: 0x152f3140), expected NSImageCacheView:

it, adds it to the array and it shows up in the table.


  Instead of connecting your add button to the array controller's - 
add: action, how about creating an -addFromFields: action in some  
other controller. This will create a new instance of your model

then call the array controller's -addObject: method, passing in the  
newly-created model object.

That's bad.

You should always review the warnings and eliminate as many as  
possible.  Once you start writing 64 bit code, warnings become  
synonymous with errors.  What were once harmless casting or missing  
function declarations will just start crashing.


There are approximately 75 reserved property names.  Basically  
anything you see in NSObject.h or NSManagedObject.h.  Unfortunately,  
neither Objective-C nor Key Value Coding have any namespace features  
to isolate different naming scopes.


Categories people put on NSObject (in frameworks and such) can create  
more, but imho putting a category on a class whose implementation does  
not belong to you, in anything besides your own 100% self contained  
code base, is an error.  Regardless, it's rude to pollute our limited  
global namespace.

email, I decided to write up a test app, and it happens there, too. This is the 
problem distilled to its simplest form. I welcome any feedback, mockery, etc.

If I use the option in (1) below, it works fine. If I use the option in (2), 
which is what I WANT to use, no animation occurs until after the mouseup 
happens.

-Chilton

- (void) mouseDown: (NSEvent *) theEvent
{
while (1) {

theEvent = [[self window] nextEventMatchingMask:(NSAnyEventMask)];
if (([theEvent type]==NSLeftMouseDragged) || 
([theEvent type]==NSLeftMouseUp) || 
([theEvent type]==NSLeftMouseDown))
{


// (1) If I use this, it works fine. No zooom zooom 
though.
//[button setFrameOrigin:[theEvent locationInWindow]];

// (2) If I use this, it doesn't work.
//[[button animator] setFrameOrigin:[theEvent 
locationInWindow]];

if ([theEvent type]==NSLeftMouseUp) {
break;
}
}

}

}

importing sqlite data into a core data database

2008-07-12 Thread John Velman
This seems to be revisiting an old question, but I haven't been able to
find an answer.

I have an existing set of data in sqlite.  To be honest, it isn't set up in
the schema I'd most like, yet, but in sqlite I know how to transform it,
and put it into the desired schema.

I like the features core data/ XCode gives, and don't like the Cocoa
wrappers for sqlite (that I've found) for one reason or another -- old, not
apparently supported, third party, require too much tinkering, 

So, being new to Cocoa, XCode, objective-c,  How do I get my data into my
new Cocoa / core data database?

I can think of two approaches off hand:

1) a) generate my application in XCode, use the sqlite storage option, put
in some dummy data, then use sqlite3 to explore the resulting schema, b)
transform my data into the new schema using sqlite3 and sql.  Replace the
sqlite file created by my application with the new one containing my real
data.

2) writing an import routine for my application, using NSTask (?) and
sqlite3.  This would likely only be used once.

Thanks for any guidance!

Best,

John V.

Setting Up Socket Streams

2008-07-12 Thread StaS Bandol

Hi all,

I have a basic(for most of you) question.
I´m trying to make a very simple app that will have 1 button (for  
example) and when its pushed the app will create a socket connection  
with a host and will send it a message(command).


So , i used this:

- (IBAction)reset:(id)sender
{
[textField setStringValue:@Testing Socket];



NSString *urlStr = [sender stringValue];
if (![urlStr isEqualToString:@]) {

NSURL *website = [NSURL URLWithString: @http://192.168.1.2;];
if (!website) {
NSLog(@%@ is not a valid URL);
return;
}
NSHost *host = [NSHost hostWithName:@http://192.168.1.2;];
NSInputStream *iStream = [NSString stringWithFormat:@ping];
NSOutputStream *oStream = [NSString stringWithFormat:@ping];
[NSStream getStreamsToHost:host port:8000 inputStream:iStream
  outputStream:oStream];
[iStream retain];
[oStream retain];
[iStream setDelegate:self];
[oStream setDelegate:self];
[iStream scheduleInRunLoop:[NSRunLoop currentRunLoop]
   forMode:NSDefaultRunLoopMode];
[oStream scheduleInRunLoop:[NSRunLoop currentRunLoop]
   forMode:NSDefaultRunLoopMode];
[iStream open];
[oStream open];
}


}



@end




but my 192.168.1.1 still not recieve nothing...
where i'm wrong?

Any help will be appreciated.
Thank you!

To head this off at the pass, if you want to use HTTP there are easier  
ways than writing your own raw HTTP support.  You can use the NSURL...  
classes to do all such communication, provided your server speaks  
standard HTTP.



- (IBAction)reset:(id)sender
{
   [textField setStringValue:@Testing Socket];



NSString *urlStr = [sender stringValue];
   if (![urlStr isEqualToString:@]) {

   NSURL *website = [NSURL URLWithString: @http://192.168.1.2;];
   if (!website) {
   NSLog(@%@ is not a valid URL);
   return;
   }
NSHost *host = [NSHost hostWithName:@http://192.168.1.2;];


Note that @http://192.168.1.2; is a URL, not a host name.  Just use  
the host name portion of the URL.



NSInputStream *iStream = [NSString stringWithFormat:@ping];
NSOutputStream *oStream = [NSString stringWithFormat:@ping];


These lines are bogus as you're assigning an NSString instance to  
variables that are claimed to point to NSInputStream and  
NSOutputStream objects.  If you want to set them to some initial  
value, set them to nil.




   [NSStream getStreamsToHost:host port:8000 inputStream:iStream
  outputStream:oStream];
   [iStream retain];
[oStream retain];
   [iStream setDelegate:self];
   [oStream setDelegate:self];
   [iStream scheduleInRunLoop:[NSRunLoop currentRunLoop]
   forMode:NSDefaultRunLoopMode];
   [oStream scheduleInRunLoop:[NSRunLoop currentRunLoop]
   forMode:NSDefaultRunLoopMode];
   [iStream open];
   [oStream open];
   }


}



@end




but my 192.168.1.1 still not recieve nothing...

You register your instance as a delegate for the input and output  
streams, do you actually send any data to your host once the output  
stream is opened?  If you don't, then the host won't receive  
anything.  Your delegate object should be sent appropriate messages  
when events occur on the streams, such as the streams opening or  
closing or having data available.


Of course, all of this will be different if you just use the NSURL...  
classes to handle the HTTP communication on your behalf, as I  
recommend above.  It will probably be a lot easier to get right, and  
handle lots of the little details for you.

RE: Triangulating webcams

2008-07-12 Thread em
Thanks much for your thoughtful responses.  I found both of them helpful.

A few years ago I ran across the MPI framework, but I don't think this required 
Xgrid,
altho you'd certainly need someway to identify network nodes.  
I don't think MPI requires Xgrid, but I certainly could be wrong on this.

There was a nice article describing the running of Xgrid without any kind of  
'server'--I didn't think this was possible.
I don't have a server implemented and have no intention of installing Xserve 
(nor a freebie)at present--out of my budgeted time and money.
I don't think Xgrid is limited to 'local' as Andrew stated.

I can easily transport 'strings' over a network using UDP 
multi-casting/broadcasting via Quartz Composer, but some of these
strings may get a little lengthy.  What's a good language statement(s) (obj c 
API)  for transporting small (10MB) data structures over a network?  
Is this what 'sockets' are used for?  In other words, I'm trying to fill the 
performance gap between extremely small data structures
(strings) sent between network nodes  and  shared NAS time capsule storage.  

Thanks Andrew for the ref. to opencv, but they won't let me visit any sites 
outside of Apple:-).

I would enjoy developing these by myself, but I keep hearing people say, 'don't 
do it, it's already been done--reuse and recycle'.

Again, thanks for your comments regarding 'triangulating webcams'.

Is that a Rubik's cube on your desktop?

importing sqlite data into a core data database

Having played around with Core Data for a while my instinct is that
option 1 would present difficulties - Core data is particular 
about the

database.  Whenever, I've had to make a minor tweak to a core data
database outside of core data, I've had a sense of dread.  I'd go
straight for option 2 without spending a second on option 1.

That said, go ahead and dabble briefly with option 1, maybe 
you'll get

lucky.  Remember to consider metadata.


2) writing an import routine for my application, using NSTask (?) and
sqlite3.  This would likely only be used once.


I did something like that to bootstrap my point-of-sale 
application.  I

didn't use NSTask, I just wrote methods on the relevant window
controllers to import tab-delimited customer and product data 
which I'd

exported from a filemaker database.  I wrote nested loops to un-flatten
the data into a more sophisticated schema.  Core data makes all that
pretty easy once you parse the tab-delimited data into objects, which
cocoa makes easy.

I thought, like you, that my code would only be used once but I 
ended up
using it a dozen times while we were developing the app and 
changing our
minds about the schema.  And, if and when I have other customers 
for the

app, I'll use it again.

Let me know if you'd like some relevant snippets.

NSURLConnection substitutes characters?

2008-07-12 Thread kentozier
Hi

I wrote a class (PHPInvocation) that handles all the nitty gritty details of 
preparing NSURLRequests, NSURLConnections etc for calls to PHP scripts, but 
have run across this nasty bug. What's happening is that somewhere between the 
creation of an NSURLConnection and the target PHP script, + characters in 
base64 data get converted to spaces. 

I NSLog the data immediately before calling [NSURLConnection 
sendSynchronousRequest:...] and all the + signs are intact, but when the PHP 
script extracts the data from the $_POST, all the + signs have been converted 
to spaces. 

I don't know if this is a Cocoa problem or a PHP problem but does anyone know 
if or why Cocoa would do this conversion? If it is a Cocoa feature how would 
I make it preserve the data exactly as it's given?

Thanks for any help.

The first thing I'd do is usage a packet sniffer to grab the data on  
the wire just to verify whether or not the conversion is happening on  
the client or server side.   By the time PHP sees it, there is a bunch  
of intervening machinery that could be mucking with it server side.


tcpflow + httpflow works well.

This, at least, will confirm the problem is on one side or the other.

A '+' character is a shortcut for a space that you can use in the URI  
and Query parts of a URL. PHP will convert those for you. Which will  
happen on the server/php side.


If you want to send Base64 encoded data in a query parameter (or post  
data) then you will need to 'percentage-escape' it properly. In which  
case a '+' needs to be translated to a '%2b'.

Re: importing sqlite data into a core data database

Thanks, Chris,

Using the SQLite 3 api as you suggest sounds good, but there are a couple
of things that must be obvious to the initiated, but not to me (yet).

As I understand, the SQLite 3 api is a C api.  Can I do C function calls
directly from Objective C?  Seems plausible, since Obj C is an extension of
C, and if I understand, Objective C is translated into C during the
compile.

If that's OK so far, how about linking?  Is Linking to the SQLite library

I'd be happy to be pointed to the right documentation!  I've read a few
hundred pages in the past week, but haven't come across anything directly
related to this.

Hello,

I am writing a program to detect the status of network.

In my program, I need get the status of network when the connection is

I've used two methods in previous projects. This is all CoreFoundation  
code that I used in daemons but should work just fine in a Cocoa  
environment.


1) If you just want to know whether the system is connected to a  
network then you can lookup the default router. If the default router  
is present then you could assume that the network is up.


CFStringRef CFXGetDefaultIPv4RouterCopy()
{
   CFStringRef result = NULL;

   SCDynamicStoreRef dynamicStore = SCDynamicStoreCreate(NULL,  
CFSTR(StefansCoreFoundationExtensions), NULL, NULL);

   if (dynamicStore != NULL) {
  CFDictionaryRef properties = (CFDictionaryRef)  
SCDynamicStoreCopyValue(dynamicStore, CFSTR(State:/Network/Global/ 
IPv4));

  if (properties != NULL) {
 result = (CFStringRef) CFDictionaryGetValue(properties,  
CFSTR(Router));

 if (result != NULL) {
CFRetain(result);
 }
 CFRelease(properties);
  }
  CFRelease(dynamicStore);
   }

   return result;
}

2) If you want to continuously monitor the network status then you can  
ask the System Configuration framework to let you know then the  
default route changed.


void DefaultRouteHasChanged(SCDynamicStoreRef store, CFArrayRef  
changedKeys, void *info)

{
   ...
}

void Foo()
{
   ...

   // Start a watcher to keep track of State:/Network/Global/IPv4

   SCDynamicStoreContext context = {0, NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL};
   gDynamicStore = SCDynamicStoreCreate(NULL, CFSTR(SampleApp),  
DefaultRouteHasChanged, context);


   CFStringRef key = SCDynamicStoreKeyCreate(NULL, CFSTR(%@/%@/%@/ 
%@), kSCDynamicStoreDomainState, kSCCompNetwork,

  kSCCompGlobal, kSCEntNetIPv4);

   CFArrayRef keyArray = CFArrayCreate(NULL, (const void **)(key),  
1, kCFTypeArrayCallBacks);

   SCDynamicStoreSetNotificationKeys(gDynamicStore, keyArray, NULL);
   CFRelease(keyArray);
   CFRelease(key);

   CFRunLoopSourceRef runLoopSource =  
SCDynamicStoreCreateRunLoopSource(NULL, gDynamicStore, 0);
   CFRunLoopAddSource(CFRunLoopGetCurrent(), runLoopSource,  
kCFRunLoopCommonModes);

   CFRelease(runLoopSource);

   ...

   // Run the RunLoop

   CFRunLoopRun();

Trigonometric Problem, Particularly tan() Function

2008-07-12 Thread Patrick Walker
For some reason, using standard trigonometric functions are not  
behaving as they should once you hit 90 degrees.  I'm not importing  
another framework/library and assuming the ones I'm calling are the  
same ones found in the standby math.h.  The functions return correct  
values until you reach odd multiples of 90 degrees when one should not  
be getting finite values as I am getting.


I'm assuming that the functions that I am using are basically from  
math.h and using a Taylor-like numerical method.


Any suggestions or alternatives?  I've looked/searched through the  
documentation and have not found any other options.


Thank you for your time.

If it is a query string then the above is correct. If it is XML or

Yes, I'm aware that you need to supply radians.

Everthing appears to be fine when going from 0 to 45 degrees but at 90

I've even tried doing the tan(x) = sin(x) / cos(x) approach.

You can implement a text field like that fairly easily; I have one

 I've even tried doing the tan(x) = sin(x) / cos(x) approach.

Floating point arithmetic is inherently imprecise.

Atan(-22877334) is equal to pi/2 to within roughly eight decimal
places or approximately 25 bits. I'm not sure what the guaranteed
accuracy of that function is supposed to be, and this does seem to be
a bit excessive, but on the other hand you are right next to a
singularity in the function. Depending on how you're generating 90
degrees, that could be introducing further inaccuracy.

These aren't mathematically ideal functions, so you can't expect them
to behave as such. This goes particularly when using them in a region
of extreme behavior such as this.

In particular you should never expect a function which is undefined or
infinite at a single point and defined and finite in all the regions
immediately adjacent to that point to produce an undefined or infinite
result, unless that point is a value which can be represented
precisely, such as 0. 90 degrees cannot be represented precisely
when converted to radians, so you'll never get NaN or INFINITY out of
the tan() function.

If you still think they're misbehaving, I suggest posting the code
you're using. It's difficult to provide more specific help with no
code.

UDP's not well suited to that. The maximum size of a packet is  
64kbytes, and in practice, packets larger than a few kbytes often get  
lost due to fragmentation. Best practice with UDP is to keep the  
packet size under about 1400 bytes so it fits in a single Ethernet  
packet, and to be ready to handle packets that are dropped, or arrive  
multiple times or in the wrong order.


So you're better off using TCP. Leave a connection open between the  
machines and send messages over it (in either direction) when you have  
data. But you need a framing protocol to define the boundaries of  
messages, match messages with responses, let you interleave messages,  
and so on. Nowadays most people do this with HTTP, but that's an  
asymmetric protocol and CF/Cocoa don't come with a server-side  
implementation, only a client. Other options are to invent yet another  
protocol to do this (which can become a mess) or use a generic message  
protocol like BEEP.


In my case I went with BEEP, but there is no available Obj-C API for  
it [though Xgrid has its own private implementation], and the open- 
source C library I first used became more trouble than it was worth,  
so I ended up designing and implementing a simple BEEP-like protocol  
called BLIP http://projects.mooseyard.com/wiki/1/BLIP. It has a  
simple Objective-C API that lets you send messages from one machine to  
another, and optionally send replies. It should work well for what  
you're trying to do.

That's not what I get. I just compiled and ran:
printf(tan(90) = %g\n, tan(M_PI/2));
which printed:
tan(90) = 1.63312e+16

Which is not infinity, but close enough, given that π/2 can't be

I think you need to show us the code you're using, as there seems to

That doesn't matter.  If you want to use the SQLite 3 API from your

In Xcode 3.1, you can do this in the General pane of the info panel

I need to make some clearance on this problem: the biggest issue is
that MovieDocument is instantiated by IB, since it is the FileOwner of
the MovieDocument.nib. So the problem should be: is there a way to
access a class from a method of another class when the
first class is instantiated from a NIB file.

I am now trying to set an IBOutlet in the other classes for
MovieDocument. It is the only way I can find from my brain... Frankly
say, I am a real newbie...

sorry for any confusion...


Hi Jedis,

Here is my problem: my application now have a main nib file
MovieDocument.nib with its FileOwner MovieDocument.mm(We used
AVCVideoServices which requires to be in a c++ source file). I need  
to
send messages to the methods in MovieDocument.mm from other classes  
in

the project(I have many other windows and also corresponding
controllers), so i need a way to access the movieDocument globally.

One example: there is another controller VideoController.m which
contains some measurement methods on the movie loaded in
movieDocument. Once we finish the measurement in VideoController, we
need to update the movie in MovieDocument, where we need to send
message to the methods in MovieDocument.

This is from VideoController.m

- (void)writeMeasureOutput:(MeasureView *)sender
{
// Some measurement code here...

object = [[movieDocument measureView]   whatsNext];

NSLog(@Next measurement: %@,object);

}

Such calls should be used in many other controllers in the projects.
So the instant of MovieDocument should be accessed globally.

I have tried to instantiate MovieDocument in MovieDocument.h, but it
is clearly wrong since when the header file is imported, the instant
will be created once.

So any suggestion on this problem? Thanks in advance!

You can use any content-type you like, but your PHP script will then  
have to read the data from the input stream itself, because PHP won't  
parse it into a $POST dictionary for you.


Or you could keep using the urlencoded type, but then you have to  
encode the body according to that data type, i.e. as name-value pairs  
with the right delimiters and URL encoding, or it'll get mangled when  
PHP tries to decode it.

That's because you didn't write anything to the streams. You just  
opened and scheduled them. You need to wait for the streams to finish  
opening them, then write to the output stream.



NSInputStream *iStream = [NSString stringWithFormat:@ping];
NSOutputStream *oStream = [NSString stringWithFormat:@ping];
   [NSStream getStreamsToHost:host port:8000 inputStream:iStream
  outputStream:oStream];


This code doesn't make any sense. First you're assigning values of the  
wrong type to the pointers (which surely produced a compiler warning,  
and you should pay attention to those). Then when you called NSStream  
it simply overwrote those pointers with the pointers to the streams it  
opened. You really need to read the documentation for +[NSStream  
getStreamsToHost:], as it doesn't behave the way you seem to think it  
does...

Problem on reload data source of a table view

2008-07-12 Thread JArod Wen

Hi all,

I met some problems on updating the content of my table with the  
following scenario:


My table is contained in a separated window(tableWindow.xib), so I use  
a TableController class to control it(File's Owner of the window). The  
following is the instant of TableController:


@interface TableController : NSWindowController {

IBOutlet NSTableView*dataTable;
IBOutlet NSTableHeaderView*  headers;
IBOutlet NSTableColumn* column;
IBOutlet TableSource*  tableSource;
}

In IB I connected the window containing table view to window of  
File's Owner(TableController), and also table view to dataTable. I  
have another TableSource class:


@interface TableSource : NSArrayController{
NSMutableArray * items;
NSMutableDictionary * parameters;
NSMutableDictionary * paramLabels;
}
- (int)numberOfRowsInTableView:(NSTableView *)tableView;
- (id)tableView:(NSTableView *)tableView objectValueForTableColumn: 
(NSTableColumn *)tableColumn row:(int)row;

- (void)tableView:(NSTableView *)aTableView
   setObjectValue:anObject
   forTableColumn:(NSTableColumn *)aTableColumn
row:(int)rowIndex;

In this class, I store the data into the items array. I added an  
object for Table Source in IB and connected it to tableSource of  
File's Owner and also dataSource of table view of the  
window(tableWindow.xib).


There is a AppController which is used to initialize TableController  
with the following code:


-(void)loadTableController{
if (tableController == NULL) {
[self setTableController:[[TableController alloc] init]];
if (![NSBundle loadNibNamed:@tableWindow 
owner:tableController]) {
NSLog(@Error loading TableController);}
else{
NSLog(@TableController NIB Loaded); 
}
[tableController loadWindow];
}   
}

When running, the window containing table can be showed correctly, and  
I can also initialize the column of the table by the following code:


NSTableColumn* column = [[NSTableColumn alloc] init];
[[column  headerCell] setStringValue:str1];
[column setWidth:cWidth];
[[[appController tableController] dataTable] 
addTableColumn:column];
[column release];

The problem is that after I update the data source, which is  
tableSource in tableController, [dataTable reloadData] will not update  
the table view in the window. I have debugged the program and found  
that the content of data source has been updated, which means that,  
the updated information has been stored in data source. However, these  
changes cannot be showed in the table view in the window. I have  
checked the connection between dataTable and tableSource, and no  
problem found there.


Any suggestions on this problem? Thanks in advance!

NSMenuItem custom view and isHighlighted

2008-07-12 Thread Francisco Tolmasky
I'm trying to use the new custom views in NSMenuItem from within an  
NSPopUpButton.  However, I would like these items to still be  
selectable, that is, if the user lets go while hovering on top of  
one, I'd still like the NSPopUpButton to use it's index for the  
displayed item.  I can't seem to find any way of telling the  
NSPopUpButton to select the said item if the user lets go of the mouse  
(or clicks), on the custom view.  Is there any way to achieve this?


Thanks,

Francisco

Re: Problem on reload data source of a table view

You're sure that, at runtime, 'dataTable' is not nil? It's easy to  
overlook an outlet when wiring up the nib, and a nil object pointer  
acts as a no-op.


If that's not the problem, add an NSLog call to your - 
objectValueForTableColumn: method, so you can see whether it's getting  
called again after you call reloadData.
