Cocoa : Drag/ drop from a table view onto a NSTextfield
Hi, I wanted some inputs regarding drag/ drop functionality in cocoa. I have two scenarios as below: 1. I have a text field and a table view in 2 different windows. I drag and drop a row from the table view to the textfield. Now, after drop, i would want to have a database transaction. I would want to validate the text that i have dropped onto the text field, and save the text that i have dropped onto the text field in the database. Could you please let me know as to which method can i use to tell me that the drop has been completed? So that i can do my front end validations on the text that i have dropped. 2. Suppose a text is already present in a text field. Now, since the text field is editable, i can drag and drop another row of the table view onto this text field. Now, the new text would be superimposed on the old text in the text field. Is there a way, i can prevent this from happening?

Google map view in my iPhone application

NSTimer and NSLock
Hi, I need to execute a method only after a thread has been executed. I guess I have to lock that thread but I don't know how. The thread I should lock comes from a timer timer = [[NSTimer scheduledTimerWithTimeInterval:timeInterval target:self selector:@selector(UpdateWindow:) userInfo:nil repeats:YES] retain]; [[NSRunLoop currentRunLoop] addTimer:timer forMode:NSEventTrackingRunLoopMode]; [[NSRunLoop currentRunLoop] addTimer:timer forMode:NSModalPanelRunLoopMode]; So only when UpdateWindow as been executed I have to delete an object and prevent to work with a null pointer.

Take a look at the Drag and Drop Programming Topics for Cocoa Programming Guide: http://developer.apple.com/documentation/Cocoa/Conceptual/DragandDrop/Concepts/dragdestination.html#/ /apple_ref/doc/uid/2977-BAJBJFBG All the messages sent to the drag receiver are listed there. For your database transaction, -concludeDragOperation: seems to be reasonable. 2. Suppose a text is already present in a text field. Now, since the text field is editable, i can drag and drop another row of the table view onto this text field. Now, the new text would be superimposed on the old text in the text field. Is there a way, i can prevent this from happening? The -prepareForDragOperation: and/or -performDragOperation: are the methods you'd place the handling of that into. You need an IBOutlet to your text field to store the string that is already entered and somehow merge it with the string coming from the drag operation.

Hi Ken
Do you think that observing lots of objects with lots
of keypaths is a good idea anyway?
Maybe I'm considering my first approch again, using only key-value
coding inside the view and move the observing somewhere else ...
What I like about your idea is the use of
[NSValue valueWithNonretainedObject:object];
I didn't know that. I'm quite new to coocoa, but not to programming.
Since the number of keypaths for each object is constant, I might
decide using a custom bitmap object as the value part in the
dictionary. That bitmap would indicate which keypath is being observed.
Thanks a lot.

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

What Address Book does is a different matter. The card is, I

As I stated earlier, your result is accurate to roughly 25 bits. I think this is rather better than you should dream to hope for. A simple solution could involve using another trigonometgric implementation available to Xcode. The question is are there any other than the numerical method math.h versions? That's not so bad because I can simply trap +- 90 and +-270 angles but I am trying to get as much speed. Your result is more accurate than you deserve to have. Switching to another implementation is not going to solve the fundamental problem that you're using numbers that are inherently inaccurate. You're already as close as you're going to get with floats. My other problems seems to be -2877334 itself. To me, that appears to be a rather strange value for a floating point number, esp. when cos(pi/2) is returning near-zero (an e-08) number as well. I don't understand what's so strange about it. The limit of tan(x) as x approaches pi/2 from the right is negative infinity. Thus you would expect to get very large negative numbers if you are close to pi/2 but slightly beyond it. Which is exactly what you're giving it and exactly what you're getting. To repeat myself, floating point numbers are inherently inaccurate. They aren't perfect mathematical functions. The functions themselves, and the numbers going into them, are approximations. Your result is already perfectly accurate to the limit of the data type you're using. If you can state why this result is bad and what behavior you require, maybe we can suggest how to obtain it. If you just need pi/2 to produce NaN or INFINITY, you'll need to decide how much slop on either side you're willing to accept, then manually check for that value with that much slop.

Re: Design Question: Where to observe using KVO?
On Jul 11, 2008, at 2:45 AM, Patrick Mau wrote: Do you think that observing lots of objects with lots of keypaths is a good idea anyway? Honestly, I've forgotten the original design issues you're considering. If you need to observe lots of objects and key paths to achieve your purposes, then do that. Of course, it can't hurt to consider some alternatives, like Notifications. See the Cocoa Fundamentals Guide for some other possibilities. One technique with KVO to reduce the number of keys that you need to observe on an object is to create a new property which acts as a single thing to observe which stands for a constellation of other properties. Often, if one object is observing many properties of another object, there is one abstract concept that it's really interested in. It's observing the many properties because it has too- intimate knowledge of the inner workings of the other object -- the classes are too closely coupled. Instead of the observed object presenting an abstract concept as a whole thing, it's exposing the implementation details from which that whole is composed. That forces the observer to pay attention to all of those details. In such cases, you should use +keyPathsForValuesAffectingValueForKey: (Leopard and later) or +setKeys:triggerChangeNotificationsForDependentKey: (if you need to deploy to earlier OS versions) to teach KVO which detail properties comprise the whole-concept property, so change notifications in one cause change notifications of the other. Since the number of keypaths for each object is constant, I might decide using a custom bitmap object as the value part in the dictionary. That bitmap would indicate which keypath is being observed. Sounds like premature optimization to me. *shrug* Cheers, Ken ___ Cocoa-dev mailing list (Cocoa-dev@lists.apple.com) Please do not post admin requests or moderator comments to the list.

Is there some list of acceptable strings for +dateWithNaturalLanguageString:?

Here are the strings I have tried: in four months four months from now four months from today I also tried the same strings in -awakeFromInsert to no avail. This is on Leopard so perhaps it behaves differently than in Tiger? If anyone has an idea or direction to where I could find a list of acceptable strings, I'd greatly appreciate it. Thanks!

Responder Chain Patching
I'm working with NSViewController to create a workflow of controllers.
I'm trying to patch the controller into the responder chain so that I
can implement action methods in the specific controllers and in the
window controller.
I'm using the following code in an attempt to create a responder chain
like this:
ButtonView - ContainerView - MyViewController - WindowContentView -
Window - WindowController - etc...
- (void)setViewController:(TLViewController *)controller {
if (_viewController != controller) {
[_viewController release];
_viewController = [controller retain];
_viewController.controller = self;
[self setActiveContentView:[_viewController view]];
// Patch into the responder chain
// This must be done after the view has a superview
[_viewController setNextResponder:[[_viewController view]
nextResponder]];
[[_viewController view] setNextResponder:_viewController];
}
}
However, it isn't working. The view controller doesn't receive any
messages so I've clearly overlooked something. I've confirmed in GDB
that all the -nextResponders are set correctly; I just can't figure it
out. I've also confirmed using -targetForAction:to:from: that the view
controller isn't returned as the target. Implementing the methods in
the window controller work and it's returned as the target as expected.

Re: [NSDate +dateWithNaturalLanguageString] question
I worked it out using NSCalendarDate [...] From the docs: Important: Use of NSCalendarDate strongly discouraged. It is not deprecated yet, however it may be in the next major OS release after Mac OS X v10.5. For calendrical calculations, you should use suitable combinations of NSCalendar, NSDate, and NSDateComponents, as described in Calendars inDates and Times Programming Topics for Cocoa. The problem is that NSCalendarDate uses the gregorian calendar exclusively. It's simple enough to do what you want using NSCalendar, NSDateComponents and NSDate. Code typed in Mail: NSDateComponents *components = [[NSDateComponents alloc] init]; [components setMonth:4]; NSDate *now = [NSDate date]; NSDate *later = [[NSCalendar currentCalendar] dateByAddingComponents:components toDate:now options:0]; Keith Duncan [EMAIL PROTECTED], 33software.com ___ Cocoa-dev mailing list (Cocoa-dev@lists.apple.com) Please do not post admin requests or moderator comments to the list.

If you look at the corresponding CFRuntime.c file, I think you'll find
that there is logic there for treating part of the _cfinfo as a retain
count (look for _CFRetain() )
To Gary, about 16-bit refcounts, I'd imagine that there's some logic
in there where if you hit 0x, it considers that to be a flag to
use an external refcount instead, at the cost of some speed.
Yep. Inline reference counts are an optimization, as such they need
to cater to the common case, not to the outliers (which still have to
be handled correctly, but don't need to be as fast).

Re: Trigonometric Problem, Particularly tan() Function

Your code above truncates doubles three different ways - the input, the intermediate calculation, and the result. Instead, try something like double_t input = [inputField doubleValue]; double_t radians = input * pi / 180; double_t output = tan(radians); if /* output is near infinity */ [outputField setStringValue:@INFINITY]; else [outputField setDoubleValue:output]; My other problems seems to be -2877334 itself. This is happening because float radians = 90 * M_PI / 180; // == 1.57079637, truncated from 1.5707963267948966 double result = tan(radians); // == -22877332.428856459 (with math.) but you essentially do float truncatedResult = tan(pi/2); // == -22877332, truncated from -22877332.428856459 The question is are there any other than the numerical method math.h versions? Instead of math.h, you can use fp. along with the '-llibm' compiler flag to get the IEEE trig functions. It won't fix the truncation problem. But it does define pi (nice) and gives a slightly different result double result = tan(pi/2); // == 1.633123935319537e+16 just on the other side of infinity from the -22877332.428856459 obtained with math.. Both are wrong but surely close enough; at any rate about the best you can hope for. BTW the Mac OS X Numerics manual at http://developer.apple.com/documentation/Performance/Conceptual/ Mac_OSX_Numerics/Mac_OSX_Numerics.pdf (see pages 2-8 and 9-35) indicates this should return a proper IEEE +INFINITY (0x7F80, binary 0111 1000 ). Theoretically you should then be able recognize those values and display text like INFINITY to the user. I say theoretically because, while it's supposed to work that way (and I recall it did under OS8/8/7) it doesn't necessarily seem to anymore, given Intel and who knows what else. At least that's what I've seen - I asked a similar question about cos() a while back: http://lists.apple.com/archives/xcode-users/2006/Jun/msg00453.html This answer from one of the Apple numerics guys seems relevant: ...how come the results of cos( pi/2 ) don't agree with the behavior documented in PowerPC Numerics, page 148? Am I doing something else wrong? Googling, I see that some other math libs (Java, for instance) document that one should -not- expect cos( pi/ 2 ) to equal exactly zero. This is at variance with what PowerPC Numerics says OS X does, however. C) If the behavior documented in PowerPC Numerics doesn't actually occur, what's the proper thing to do? The app has some fairly heavy arithmetic going on, with the results displayed to the user both graphically in text form. Should it round before drawing? Round before displaying text? Both? What have others done in this situation? M_PI_2 (converted to double) is only an approximation to pi/2. It is actually (and approximately) 6.1e-17 smaller than pi/2. The next higher value which a 64 bit IEEE number can represent is approximately 1.6e-16 bigger than pi/2. It turns out that in the neighborhood of pi/2, cos(x) can be very closely approximated by this simple linear function: cos(x) =~ pi/2 - x (derivation available upon request) Plugging M_PI_2 into this approximation to cos(x) yields the result you report: 6.1e-17. Using nextafter() to find the next representable number above M_PI_2 and calling cos() on that number yields approximately -1.6e-16 (again predicted by the linear approximation to cos(x)). The answer you're getting is a more accurate answer than 0 would be. This suggests that what you're seeing is because pi/2, not being exactly expressible on a computer, is a slightly inaccurate argument to tan(). The result is accurate for the binary representation of pi/ 2, but that representation of pi/2 is, unavoidably, not a perfect right angle. Or, to paraphrase the last sentence in the quote above, the answer you're getting (or will get, once you fix the truncation issues) is a more accurate answer than infinity would be. If the result close enough to infinity for your purposes, just display infinity as text, or round it off to some reasonable number of digits so the user can see it's close enough. This is really no different than what a printed trig table does - make the values look nice once a certain threshold is passed. ___ Cocoa-dev mailing list (Cocoa-dev@lists.apple.com) Please do not post admin requests or moderator comments to the list.

Re: Setting Up Socket Streams
Hi Chris,
Thank you for your response:
My 192.168.1.2 processor can understand standard TCP/IP protocol and
is located in my local network.
So , this 192.168.1.2 is a server in my communication and are always
listening the port 8000 , and my app will be the client which shall
open a socket and send him a command (a string ping for example).
After that the server will send a response to my client (pong will
be response to ping)
Note that @http://192.168.1.2; is a URL, not a host name. Just
use the host name portion of the URL. - so i shall use
@192.168.1.2 instead of @http://192.168.1.2;?
Im not sure if i know how to send a predefined string ( ping in
this case) to my server , that why i have used
[NSInputStream *iStream = [NSString stringWithFormat:@ping];
If i will use
NSInputStream *iStream = nil;
then how can i asign a string(ping) to iStream .?
Thank you very much!

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...
where i'm wrong?
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.

Creating the app menu from scratch
I'd like to be able to create an application's menu from scratch,
without a nib file. I'm having problems doing so, I've looked around
and seen some different code samples but nothing seems to work
correctly.
The simplest case:
int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
NSAutoreleasePool *pool = [[NSAutoreleasePool alloc] init];
NSApplication* app = [NSApplication sharedApplication];
NSMenu* appMenu = [[NSMenu alloc] initWithTitle:@My App];
[appMenu addItemWithTitle:@Item 1 action:nil keyEquivalent:@];
NSMenu* menu = [[NSMenu alloc] initWithTitle: @];
NSMenuItem* mi = [menu addItemWithTitle:@ action:nil
keyEquivalent:@];
[mi setSubmenu:appMenu];
//[NSApp performSelector:NSSelectorFromString(@setAppleMenu:)
withObject:menu];
//[app setAppleMenu:menu];
[app setMainMenu:menu];
[[NSApplication sharedApplication] run];
[pool release];
return 0;
}
Assuming my project is called test7, this sort of works. It ends up
creating a menu item and a sub menu, but there's *still* a test7
menu item, just before the Apple menu item on the menu bar. Is there
something I'm missing? If I try and call setAppleMenu, that does
nothing. Is this even possible? Some of the code sample's I saw (from
several years ago) made references to functions in the NSMenu class
that don't seem to exist anymore, i.e. :
[self setMainMenu: [NSMenu menuWithTitle: @ submenus: [NSArray
arrayWithObjects:
[self applicationMenu],
[self editMenu],
[self windowMenu],
[self helpMenu],
nil]]];
There doesn't seem to be a menuWithTitle static class function
anymore, or at least it's not documented.

In subsequent discussion off-list, Mmalc has made it known to me that in questioning Scott's statements that Key-Value Binding and Cocoa Bindings are the same thing -- or rather, in failing to capitulate to his insistence that Ron made the identical claim -- I have caused him considerable physical and mental distress, undermined his character, brought him into disrepute, defamed him, devalued him, and damaged him; and that my behaviour was inexcusable, contemptible, reprehensible and truly obnoxious. I had no idea that it was possible to cause such calamity to a person's reputation simply by disagreeing with them in a public forum; let alone to cause them physical distress by doing so.

re: SOAP server framework
Stefan, Though it's not ObjC, i've used gSOAP in several projects for SOAP clients and servers. If you have a WSDL, it will generate either a C or C++ interface (your choice) from it. Otherwise, it will generate the WSDL given a header file that you define.

Re: Remove overlap on NSBezierPath
Are you talking about performing union, intersection, difference (i.e. set operations)? If so, this is not a simple problem. Cocoa doesn't have anything built in to do it, and in fact there is no known general solution for arbitrary bezier curves (though there are plenty of practical/heuristic methods that work for most practically useful cases, and I for one would love to see these as part of CG, as they are part of Java, Flash, etc). In the meantime, there is a general solution for vector paths (i.e. paths that consist of short straight line segments) and you can flatten a bezier path to one of these easily. One of the best implementations I've run across is General Polygon Clipper by Alan Murta (http://www.cs.man.ac.uk/~toby/alan/software/) - free for non- comercial use but not for commercial use. I have written some straightforward categories on NSBezierPath that translate NSBezierpaths to and from GPC's internal representation and also provide some high-level methods to directly perform set operations. This code is part of DrawKit (http://apptree.net/drawkitmain.htm) and also covered on CocoaDev here: http://www.cocoadev.com/index.pl?NSBezierPathcombinatorics hth, Graham On 13 Jul 2008, at 11:43 pm, Georg Seifert wrote: Hello, I don’t know if this is the right place to ask ...

Re: [NSDate +dateWithNaturalLanguageString] question
The Thai, Hebrew, and Islamic calendars are quite important in the software market, and there is one other that Jens didn't mention: the Japanese calendar. The Japanese era system is heavily used in Japan: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Japanese_era_name While the months and days of the Japanese calendar match the Gregorian calendar, the years and eras do not, and you need NSCalendar to handle that. Mac OS X 10.5 supports Gregorian, Japanese, Thai, Hebrew, and Islamic (two kinds) calendars. Deborah Goldsmith Apple Inc.

While the Gregorian calendar is widely used in Israel's business and day-to-day affairs, the Hebrew calendar, used by Jews worldwide for religious and cultural affairs, also influences civil matters in Israel (such as national holidays) and can be used there for business dealings (such as for the dating of checks). The Persian calendar is used in Iran and Afghanistan. The Islamic calendar is used by most non-Persian Muslims worldwide. The Chinese,Hebrew, Hindu, and Julian calendars are widely used for religious and/or social purposes. The Ethiopian calendar or Ethiopic calendar is the principal calendar used in Ethiopia and Eritrea. In Thailand, where the Thai solar calendar is used, the months and days have adopted the western standard, although the years are still based on the traditional Buddhist calendar. Even where there is a commonly used calendar such as the Gregorian calendar, alternate calendars may also be used, such as a fiscal calendar or the astronomical year numbering system[1]. Add that up and it's probably over 75% of the world's population using other calendars, at least for non-business purposes. So I'm just be trapped in my own perspective/needs on this (i.e. when I read the 'business and day-to-day affairs' comment on the Hebrew calendar I think 'that's well over 90% of the use cases I can think of using the Gregorian calendar.') OK, I'll quit complaining and quietly (re)implement what I need for my purposes.

Re: Responder Chain Patching
On Sun, 13 Jul 2008 16:48:45 +0100, Keith Duncan [EMAIL PROTECTED] said:
I'm working with NSViewController to create a workflow of controllers.
I'm trying to patch the controller into the responder chain so that I
can implement action methods in the specific controllers and in the
window controller.
I'm using the following code in an attempt to create a responder chain
like this:
ButtonView - ContainerView - MyViewController - WindowContentView -
Window - WindowController - etc...
- (void)setViewController:(TLViewController *)controller {
if (_viewController != controller) {
[_viewController release];
_viewController = [controller retain];
_viewController.controller = self;
[self setActiveContentView:[_viewController view]];
// Patch into the responder chain
// This must be done after the view has a superview
[_viewController setNextResponder:[[_viewController view]
nextResponder]];
[[_viewController view] setNextResponder:_viewController];
}
}
However, it isn't working. The view controller doesn't receive any
messages
This might not be of any help, because I know nothing whatever about
NSViewController or why you'd want to insert one into the responder chain
(and whether that's okay or necessary to do). But I *am* a *huge* fan of
inserting stuff into the responder chain - it's something I do all the time.
And when I do it, I patch the chain in opposite order.
For example, in several of my apps I inject an NSResponder subclass instance
after an NSTableView (so, between the table view and the window - actually,
it's between the table view's containing scrollview and the window). And
here's how the code goes (I use awakeFromNib and keep an instance of my
NSResponder subclass in the nib, so that I am guaranteed of having just one
and of having everything hook up at the appropriate moment):
- (void) awakeFromNib {
NSResponder* r = [[myTableView enclosingScrollView] nextResponder];
[[myTableView enclosingScrollView] setNextResponder: self];
[self setNextResponder: r];
}
It might help or it might make no difference at all, but that's the kind of
thing that works for me... m.

Is there a way I can pass more information to my custom cell so I can have a button which can be set to On,Off or hidden. There are two ways to give more information to your custom cell: - Use an NSDictionary or an instance of a custom class as your object value. If you're using a data source, return this object in your objectValueForTableColumn method. If you're using bindings, bind the array to a key path which produces this object. In both cases, this dictionary or custom object will be passed to your cell's -setObjectValue: method, and then you can do whatever you want with its contents. - Implement the willDisplayCell delegate method. This method is called just before the cell is displayed, and at that point you can do whatever you want to it based on the column/row information provided. Depending on exactly what you need, you may not even need to implement an NSCell subclass if you use this approach, if you can customize NSButtonCell sufficiently.

Most of the time from what I've seen, when people think they need to do this, they really don't. For example: - People making games want to control everything. It works just as well if you make a little NSApp delegate object in the MainMenu.nib and take control from there. - People implementing a framework that needs to create everything programmatically. Instead of going without a nib, create a stub MainMenu.nib which contains as little as possible but still gets your program up and running. At that point you can then customize the menu and everything else in code. - If you're making a naked binary, there's might be no good place to put the nib. This case is a little trickier, but you can work around it. You can do this by taking advantage of the fact that the NSNib class supports NSCoding. Make a little helper tool that loads the nib using NSNib, serializes it with NSKeyedArchiver, and then writes the data into something readable. (If you're embedding into your source, you can have it output C char array syntax.) Then your main binary can load that data into an NSData, reconstitute the NSNib object from it, and load it. - Learning. Occasionally somebody decides that building a nibless application is the best way to learn about Cocoa. From what I've seen it's really just a very complicated way to learn about a bunch of painful, otherwise-useless aspects of Cocoa.

What the mathematicians balk at isn't the pathological cases; rather, getting exact results. It's not possible to find the exact points of intersection of cubic curves, because it requires factoring a sixth-order polynomial, for which there are no known general techniques. The best you can do is to find approximations, using algorithms like Newton's Method. You can make the approximations as precise as you need by increasing the number of iterations.
