IB plugins
Hi I'm working my way through the IB plugin documentation and have hit a point where step 2 in under Configuring a Library Object Template bears no resemblance whatsoever to anything in the Xcode project or the IB files. What the heck are they referring to? And how do I adapt that to the actual files/views that are created in a new IB plugin project? Documentation here: http://developer.apple.com/documentation/DeveloperTools/Conceptual/IBPlugInGuide/ThePlug-inObject/chapter_5_section_2.html#/ /apple_ref/doc/uid/TP40004323-CH10-SW2 Thanks for any help ___ Cocoa-dev mailing list (Cocoa-dev@lists.apple.com) Please do not post admin requests or moderator comments to the list.

Re: Newbie: Strange problem with NSTableView, check boxes and Core Data
Is your application by chance garbage collected? Some of the underlying machinery that kicks in when scaling standard interface elements has issues with garbage collection in Leopard. This suggests that your checkbox is scaling down, which you probably don't want it to do. Try selecting the checkbox cell in interface builder and change the 'Scaling' setting from Proportionally Down to None. -Ken On Thu, Oct 2, 2008 at 11:30 AM, Jonathan Oddie [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: On Oct 2, 2008, at 11:55 AM, Corbin Dunn wrote: Thanks for the advice Corbin.

Re: NSWindowController retain count confusion
On 30.09.2008, at 21:01, James Walker wrote: However, I did solve my problem. I neglected to mention that I'm working in a mostly Carbon app. When I surrounded the alloc, init, and showWindow calls with a local autorelease pool, the problem went away and the NSWindowController gets deallocated without funny business. I thought I had read that it was no longer necessary to set up my own autorelease pools. You probably already know that, but just in case: 1) Do not put an autorelease pool at the bottom of your event loop, i.e. into your 'main' function so it surrounds the event loop run call. All this will do is inhibit the 'NSAutoReleaseNoPool' error log messages. Since that all-encompassing pool would take up all objects where no pool existed, but would never be drained, you'd have the leaks without the leak warning message. 2) If you did your creation, destruction and testing in the same event handler (even if it spawns its own sub-event-loop to e.g. run the Cocoa window modally), then they'll all be in the same autorelease pool, so you'll get a false leak. It's perfectly common to e.g. have another autorelease pool inside a tight loop, to more frequently autorelease objects that aren't needed after an iteration anymore. Carbon creates its own pool in RAEL, but that won't be drained until the next event or could (as a performance optimization) be drained only every fifth event or so. 3) A common recommendation for progressive Carbon-to-Cocoa ports that still need RAEL or WNE at the moment is to create a Cocoa app, start it regularly using NSApplicationMain, and to call RAEL in - applicationDidFinishLaunching:. If you're calling ReceiveNextEvent()/ SendEventToEventTarget() or -nextEventMatchingMask/-sendEvent: in a tight loop at this spot, you might not get the autorelease pool, and all objects will accumulate in the pool set up by AppKit for - applicationDidFinishLaunching:, giving you a similar effect as #1. Any of these ring a bell with regard to your project?

Re: Core Data undo grouping
I agree with Ben that this seems somewhat odd to do, but that said:
NSManagedObjectContext coalesces changes for registering with the undo
manager, but NSUndoManager also performs its own grouping. -
processPendingChanges just provides a means for forcing the MOC to
register its changes when you want. You still need to close off the
undo managers grouping to match. So do something like ths:
[MOC processPendingChanges];
usnigned undoGrouping = 0;
while ([[MOC undoManager] groupingLevel] 0)
{
[[MOC undoManager] closeUndoGrouping];
undoGrouping++;
}
while ([[MOC undoManager] groupingLevel] undoGrouping)
{
[[MOC undoManager] beginUndoGrouping];
}

I'm using CoreData for some internal state management that sometimes

[object setValue:@1 forKey:@attr];
[self forceUndoBoundaryInContext:context];
[object setValue:@2 forKey:@attr];
[context undo];
STAssertEqualObjects([object valueForKey:@attr], @1, @);
Based on the documentation, it seems clear that all I have to do to
accomplish this is call processPendingChanges:
- (void)forceUndoBoundaryInContext:(NSManagedObjectContext *)context
{
[context processPendingChanges];
}
But this does not work. I installed notification handlers for
NSUndoManagerDidOpenUndoGroupNotification and
NSUndoManagerWillCloseUndoGroupNotification and I can see that the
group is not closed until I call undo. As a workaround, I've found
that I can fiddle with the context's undo manager directly:
- (void)forceUndoBoundaryInContext:(NSManagedObjectContext *)context
{
[context processPendingChanges];
[[context undoManager] endUndoGrouping];
[[context undoManager] beginUndoGrouping];
}
This works, but it seems kind of sneaky and underhanded and I'm not
entirely comfortable with it. Is there a better way to do this? Does
anyone else find this behavior inconsistent with the documentation
for processPendingChanges?

Re: External C function and duplicate symbol
It seems that what you want is an inline C function. I don't think
this is part of the C language standard but gcc seems to have its own
method of doing this. Just do a find on 'inline' in the Frameworks to
see how it's done. Look at CGBase.h for instance.

Re: External C function and duplicate symbol
Hi Christian
If you really want a function to appear in multiple object files
you could declare them static, like in:
static void vec_zero2(int *vect)
{
vec[0] = vec[1] = 0;
}
This is sometimes useful if you want to inline small functions
and not use preprocessor macros like this:
static inline char *code_long(char *dst, u_int32_t in)
{
dst[0] = (in 24) 0xff; // '' for readability only
dst[1] = (in 16) 0xff;
dst[2] = (in 8) 0xff;
dst[3] = (in 0) 0xff; // '' for readability only
return dst;
}
This works also mixing C and Obj-C:
static void callSomething(id myObject, int x, y)
{
[myObject withX:x andY:y];
[myObject setTitle:[NSString stringWithFormat:@Position: %d,%d, x,
y]];
}
Of course this will increase your code size if you are not considering
the size of your static functions. 'otool' or the assembler listing
within
XCode is useful to look at the generated code.
Everything else should be declared 'extern' and implemented in one
source file only. That's only my opinion, of course.
Regards,
Patrick

One of the ways that it's broken is that it is *impossible* to correctly use it without a subprocess which will cooperate with you. The reason for this is that you *must* use wait4 or waitpid to reap the zombie that will be created when the subprocess terminates, but AEWP provides *no* way to get the pid. (You cannot use wait or wait3 because those could end up inadvertently reaping a child process spawned by a library you're using.) So your subprocess must have a way to communicate its pid back to the parent, and do so very early before it does anything that could make it crash or otherwise terminate. Correct use of AEWP is extremely weird and un-fun.

FWIW, the approach that ASTranslate uses is to install a custom AESendProc into an AppleScript component and have the user run an AppleScript.

It is possible this is a bug in the framework. Hi Corbin, The button cell is just the predefined check box cell from Interface Builder, which I dragged into the table column to replace the default text field cell -- I don't think I've even changed any attributes of it. Is this a strange design, to have a column of check boxes adjacent to a column of text fields? It seemed like the simplest way to make it work with bindings (binding the value of the check box column to the boolean attribute arrangedObjects.Enabled of the array controller).

Re: Core Data undo grouping

If this is in the UI thread, it will be confusing to the user in the typical scenarios. Are you sure you don't want to create a nested undo group ? This is actually pretty far removed from the UI. I'm managing internal state that I want to be able to roll back to specific points. A single rollback group may span many events. Imagine a stack of mutable dictionaries, each one of which starts out as a copy of the one before. Except with a managed object model, I can have complex, documented structures and I don't have to worry about making deep copies of nested mutable objects. Fiddling with the undo groupings themselves should be done with NSUndoManager API. That's what I ended up doing, so I guess I was on the right track.

Re: IB plugins
Ken, Step 2 of this section says: In the library window, select the Library IB SDK group. This group contains a single entry, which is a library object template. It is referring to the Interface Builder Kit category of items (as opposed to, for example, the Cocoa or WebKit groups) in the Library window. When you select the Interface Builder Kit category at the top of the Library window, there is only a single item available, and its icon is a set of books. Drag this object, the library object template, to the library view you are creating. It will appear simply as a white box. You can then follow the subsequent instructions to configure it, by placing a custom view inside the the library object template, for example. The Library nib file that is created with the project already has two library object templates in it, you could just delete everything and start over, or reuse these existing ones.

Hi,

this.

[button setBezelStyle:NSRoundedBezelStyle];
[button setTitle:@Quit];
[button setTarget:NSApp];
[button setAction:@selector(terminate:)];
[[window contentView] addSubview:button];
[NSApplication sharedApplication];
[window makeKeyAndOrderFront: nil];
[pool release];
[NSApp run];
return 0;
}

{
}

- (BOOL)acceptsFirstResponder;
- (void)tabletProximity:(NSEvent *)theEvent;

}

As far as I can see, this is another symptom of a bug which I found back in March 2008 in Mac OS 10.3. The bug is that when an application is run in Mac OS 10.3.9, it crashes when a method in an NSScanner category that is defined in a framework does a simple scan. It runs fine in Mac OS 10.5, and indications are, 10.4. Back in March 2008, I found that this only happened if it was the first code to execute in the application executable, and a workaround was to execute one line of regular code before invoking the category in the framework. But after updating from Xcode 3.0 to Xcode 3.1.1, this no longer works. I tried playing around with some of the build settings in the framework for awhile, but none of what I tried fixed it. Also back in March 2008, I thought that this affected other classes in addition to NSScanner. Discussion of the March 2008 issue is here: http://www.cocoabuilder.com/archive/message/cocoa/2008/3/27/202404 Here is the demo project in case anyone is interested. http://sheepsystems.com/engineering/PantherCrasher.zip (46 KB) My solution is to tell Mac OS 10.3.9 users that they are not getting any more updates, and then I'll have to make the old version available manually when they need it. Kind of a pain, but not as painful as keeping an Xcode 3.0 around. ___ Cocoa-dev mailing list (Cocoa-dev@lists.apple.com) Please do not post admin requests or moderator comments to the list.

Re: Write app without nib file.
Daniele,
My suspicion is that the issue has nothing to do with whether or not
you have a nib.
The code below won't work, because as far as I can tell, you never
add the view to a window. A view needs to be in a window to receive
events.
By the way, it's standard Cocoa naming convention to capitalize class
names -- MyView rather than myView. It's a good idea to follow
standard Cocoa naming conventions, especially when other people will
read your code.

This code draw a window with one button that, I press it, the

A book about Mac programming, not supported on a Mac. But I digress. Anyone know where I can get the above book in eBook ?

Re: IB plugins
Ken, Step 2 of this section says: In the library window, select the Library IB SDK group. This group contains a single entry, which is a library object template. It is referring to the Interface Builder Kit category of items (as opposed to, for example, the Cocoa or WebKit groups) in the Library window. When I create a new IB project using Xcode, I can't see any files, groups, categories or resources labeled Interface Builder Kit. Which application should I be looking in? Xcode or InterfaceBuilder? If you create a new IB plugin at your end, do you see this Interface Builder Kit category? If not, which of the automatically generated files is it contained in? Hello. The current Interface Builder Plug-in project template contains a bug and I reported it. But you should not have problem in the step you have trouble. For comparison, my project string formatter IB plugin project contains these. I didn't add any new files, except for an image. JAStringFormatter ( the project) - Plugin ( This is a directory for a plugin which will be built ) - Class Descriptions - Classes - Other Sources - Resources - JAStringFormatterLibrary.nib ( This *contains *the *LIBRARY OBJECT!* So, open this one. ) - JAStringFormatterInspector.xib - JAStringFormatter-picture.tif - Framework ( This is a directory for a framework to be built. Other project which will use your plugin will be linked to this framework. ) - Classes - Resources - Products ( will contain built IB plugin and its framework ) - Frameworks ( frameworks which are linked to the your IB plugin/framework) -- Now, if you open your *.nib file which I wrote in red, or commented as (This contains the LIBRARY OBJECT!.. ), you will be able to locate some icons : File's owner, First Responder, Application, Library Object The Library Object there is the one you are mentioning. The document shows the default one, and you can edit it or you can remove it and add a new one. If you want to locate the Library Object, which is IBLibraryObjectTemplate, bring a Library panel under Tools menu of the Interface Builder. Under its Objects tab, and under Library=Cocoa, you will be able to locate Interface Builder Kit. If you click it, there is only one item, Library Template which is subtitled as IBLibraryObjectTemplate. It is the one you want. I hope this clarify your question.

Re: NSWindowController retain count confusion
Uli Kusterer wrote: On 30.09.2008, at 21:01, James Walker wrote: However, I did solve my problem. I neglected to mention that I'm working in a mostly Carbon app. When I surrounded the alloc, init, and showWindow calls with a local autorelease pool, the problem went away and the NSWindowController gets deallocated without funny business. I thought I had read that it was no longer necessary to set up my own autorelease pools. You probably already know that, but just in case: 1) Do not put an autorelease pool at the bottom of your event loop, i.e. into your 'main' function so it surrounds the event loop run call. All this will do is inhibit the 'NSAutoReleaseNoPool' error log messages. Since that all-encompassing pool would take up all objects where no pool existed, but would never be drained, you'd have the leaks without the leak warning message. I see, but no I didn't do that. 2) If you did your creation, destruction and testing in the same event handler (even if it spawns its own sub-event-loop to e.g. run the Cocoa window modally), then they'll all be in the same autorelease pool, so you'll get a false leak. It's perfectly common to e.g. have another autorelease pool inside a tight loop, to more frequently autorelease objects that aren't needed after an iteration anymore. Carbon creates its own pool in RAEL, but that won't be drained until the next event or could (as a performance optimization) be drained only every fifth event or so. There was no sub-event-loop. The dealloc method never got called, no matter how long I waited. 3) A common recommendation for progressive Carbon-to-Cocoa ports that still need RAEL or WNE at the moment is to create a Cocoa app, start it regularly using NSApplicationMain, and to call RAEL in -applicationDidFinishLaunching:. If you're calling ReceiveNextEvent()/SendEventToEventTarget() or -nextEventMatchingMask/-sendEvent: in a tight loop at this spot, you might not get the autorelease pool, and all objects will accumulate in the pool set up by AppKit for -applicationDidFinishLaunching:, giving you a similar effect as #1. Well, I haven't progressed that far in going from Carbon to Cocoa. Any of these ring a bell with regard to your project? Nope, but thanks for trying. -- James W.

Re: Getting reference to a window
You, sir, are a Super Hero! I have spent a lot (and I mean a LOT) of time over this, reading books, looking at other projects, scouring the mailing list archives. I knew from my experiments that it was something wrong with the way my project was set up, not a problem with the code itself. You have switched a light on in my brain by your statement: If you want your main menu to be able to send messages to a document, you need to connect their actions to the First Responder icon within your xib. The front-most document will be the first responder to that message so it'll receive it. Read this for more information: I have read so much about First Responder within a NIB/XIB and somehow couldn't quite work out what it was, as if it was some ever changing thing.

Re: Getting reference to a window
Thank you Shawn! Your explanation was very clear. I have always had doubts around what the First Responder did in a NIB/XIB. I understood that NSResponder worked its way up the chain looking for something to handle the event, I guess my knowledge is weakest when it comes to Interface Builder. it's working a treat now and that's only 4 days of researching and messing about that's come to an end!!

NSTableView confusion
To be more precise, my confusion is with bindings and NSTableView. What I want to do is this: 1) Have a table with n columns (let's say 2, for kicks) and a variable number of rows 2) Column 1 holds a user-defined string/name for each entry (row) 3) Column 2 holds a popup with a set of choices. The popup is loaded from a persistent collection of objects Creating a new entry, with a + button, will instantiate an XObject (arbitrary name). The name property of the new XObject will be set in column 1, and a number of optional settings for XStuff (arbitrary property) will be loaded into the popup in column 2. This doesn't seem like a big deal, but I'm pretty confused. I want to set this up using bindings, but I'm note sure how I populate the popup in column 2, and I'm also unclear on who manages storing the index of the popup selection? Do I need to have a method to handle this in my XObject class, or is this something NSArrayController does? If anyone could provide me with a run-through of the basic things I have to cover to manage this I'd really appreciate it - most of the tutorials I've found only cover single items in table cells, not automatically-populated popups... thanks, J. ___ Cocoa-dev mailing list (Cocoa-dev@lists.apple.com) Please do not post admin requests or moderator comments to the list.

UITabBarController setViewControllers results in empty array of view controllers?
Greetings- I've recently refactored my iPhone app to stop using an XIB to load my view controllers. So, rather than specifying a TabBarController in IB I'm doing so in code. The view controllers I'm adding to it were mostly specified in code previously. What happens is, I create the TabBarController, add the views, then query the TabBarController for its array of views and get null.When running, the TabBar does show up, but it shows up without any views . Somewhow the views are being lost. If you'll notice from the logged output, the array of view controllers are valid, but after adding them, the tab bar says its array of view controllers is null. This all happens within the same event loop, so it can't be a memory issue... Code: tabBar = [[UITabBarController alloc] initWithNibName:nil bundle:nil]; tabBar.delegate = self; // hook navigation controller to one of the tabs // hook the inner views up to the tab bar NSArray * tabControllers = [NSArray arrayWithObjects:dataNavigationController, searchController, settingsController, lockController, nil]; Log(@Controllers array: %@, tabControllers); [tabBar setViewControllers:tabControllers animated:NO]; Log(@tabBar is: %@, [tabBar description]); Log(@tabBar.viewController count: %d, [tabBar.viewControllers count]); Log(@tabBar.viewControllers: %@, tabBar.viewControllers); What it puts out at runtime: 2008-10-02 03:52:14.672 Vault[55179:20b] RootViewController.m:331 -[RootViewController configureForLogin] Controllers array: ( UINavigationController: 0x474e190, SearchTableViewController: 0x47215e0, SettingsViewController: 0x4721eb0, LockViewController: 0x47223d0 ) 2008-10-02 03:52:14.673 Vault[55179:20b] RootViewController.m:333 -[RootViewController configureForLogin] tabBar is: UITabBarController: 0x474e360 2008-10-02 03:52:14.673 Vault[55179:20b] RootViewController.m:334 -[RootViewController configureForLogin] tabBar.viewController count: 0 2008-10-02 03:52:14.674 Vault[55179:20b] RootViewController.m:335 -[RootViewController configureForLogin] tabBar.viewControllers: (null) So, how is it tabControllers has an array of valid objects, but setViewControllers results in tabBar.viewControllers returning null? Is there some other way to set the view controllers on a tab bar? FWIW, previously the code set the property directly: tabBar.viewControllers = tabControllers; This gave the exact same results. I'm stuck here, and unfortunately, I suspect its something obvious! Liza ___ Cocoa-dev mailing list (Cocoa-dev@lists.apple.com) Please do not post admin requests or moderator comments to the list.

I have been asked to port a game from Flash to the Mac (actually the iPhone, but that does not matter in this case). I am wondering if Core Animation is up to the task, of display and moving 30-50 units on the screen at one time, along with missiles and such. So possibly upwards of 70-100 items moving on the screen at once. The original developers are very concerned that Core Animation is not up to the task, when I mentioned that Core Animation would be the way to go. Does anyone have any experience with Core Animation and games? And what kind of results do yoy get with lots of items moving within Core Animation layers at one time? Seems to me that the fact that it's on the iPhone matters a great deal when your question essentially boils down to performance. Since CoreAnimation relies greatly on the CPU and GPU, it should be pretty apparent that CoreAnimation will have vastly superior performance on any Mac built within the last 3 (5? 7?) years than on the iPhone. It's further apparent that CoreAnimation on the Mac can easily deliver what you need: the fancy 3D skyscraper iTunes cover art demo does way more than what you describe and runs fine. But of course this is on a machine with one or two orders of magnitude more computing and graphics power. Seems to me the best answer to your question would be to test it for yourself. CA is pretty straightforward and you ought to be able to come up with either a convincing demo that it's up to the task, or an example which shows that it's not, without a huge amount of work.

NSCoding protocol
I want MyClass to conform to the NSCoding protocol. But I'm puzzled
about how to implement the initWithCoder: method.
Suppose I have this in MyClass.h:
NSString *S1, *S2, *S3;
and this in its init function:
S1 = @a string;
S2 = [[NSString alloc] init];
S3 = [NSString string];
So to conform to the protocol, I'd have something like this in
MyClass.m too:
- (id)initWithCoder:(NSCoder *)decoder {
self = [super init];
S1 = [decoder decodeObjectForKey:@S1];
S2 = [[decoder decodeObjectForKey:@S2] retain];
S3 = [[decoder decodeObjectForKey:@S3] retain];
return self;
}
(I'm not posting the encodeWithCoder: method.)
So finally, my question: am I right to retain S2 and S3, and not S1?

Multiples calls to acceptsFirstResponder
Hi All, I'm re-learning Cocoa (been on Windows/Java for the last 5-6 years) using Cocoa Programming For Mac OS X third edition. I'm at chapter 19 (keyboard events) and I've noticed that my custom view (BigLetterView for those who know the book) overridden - (BOOL)acceptsFirstResponder is sometime called multiple times: - 2 times at launch (before becoming firstResponder), - 2 times after pressing tab for the first time (before resigning), - 4 times when tabbing in The author has a remark about it saying: Yes, acceptsFirstResponder gets called more times than you might expect each time the view is selected but doesn't say why...

Is there any placeholder for the custom view that I can use in the NIB file such that I can instantiate the view in the code and then load it onto the window? I can not hard code the filename into the custom view class and use it in the NIB as the image to be displayed will not always be the same and it can change depending on where the user will click on the main window. That's not how it should work. If you have a view subclass then design it to handle any image file given its filename - you wouldn't have a separate view subclass for every individual file. I'm pretty sure this isn't what you're proposing, but it could be one interpretation of your description! In the NIB, just use a custom view, then set its class to your class name. Then you don't have to instantiate it in code at all - it's already in existence in the NIB. When the NIB is loaded you can set the filename of the image, most likely using the -awakeFromNib message. To obtain the reference to the view, add an IBOutlet to its controller and link it up in IB. Then you can use that outlet to refer to the view. hth, Graham ___ Cocoa-dev mailing list (Cocoa-dev@lists.apple.com) Please do not post admin requests or moderator comments to the list.

Often best to always directly retain the objects you reference via instance vars unless the ivar is meant to be a weak reference. I would only release S2 in the dealloc method. But if the class has been unarchived, won't I leak memory with S1 and S3 when the class is released? You should release S1, S2, and S3 in your dealloc method (assuming you correct what you are doing with S3). If no other code changes S1 you could skip releasing S1 but since releasing a string constant is a no-op you should continue to release S1 in your dealloc method for code readability and correctness. This can help prevent a leak in the future if you decide to make S1 point at a string you get / create from some other code but forget to add the now needed release. -Shawn ___ Cocoa-dev mailing list (Cocoa-dev@lists.apple.com) Please do not post admin requests or moderator comments to the list.

I neglected to mention that I'm working in a mostly Carbon app. When I surrounded the alloc, init, and showWindow calls with a local autorelease pool, the problem went away and the NSWindowController gets deallocated without funny business. I thought I had read that it was no longer necessary to set up my own autorelease pools. You probably already know that, but just in case: 1) Do not put an autorelease pool at the bottom of your event loop, i.e. into your 'main' function so it surrounds the event loop run call. All this will do is inhibit the 'NSAutoReleaseNoPool' error log messages. Since that all-encompassing pool would take up all objects where no pool existed, but would never be drained, you'd have the leaks without the leak warning message. I see, but no I didn't do that. Just for the archives: It's OK in general to have an autorelease pool in the main function, as long as one makes sure it gets drained occasionally. 2) If you did your creation, destruction and testing in the same event handler (even if it spawns its own sub-event-loop to e.g. run the Cocoa window modally), then they'll all be in the same autorelease pool, so you'll get a false leak. It's perfectly common to e.g. have another autorelease pool inside a tight loop, to more frequently autorelease objects that aren't needed after an iteration anymore. Carbon creates its own pool in RAEL, but that won't be drained until the next event or could (as a performance optimization) be drained only every fifth event or so. There was no sub-event-loop. The dealloc method never got called, no matter how long I waited. Any other objects involved that may be retaining your object? NSTimer? NSThread? NSInvocation? Anything getting retained by an application delegate? In general, the objects at the top level of the MainMenu.nib don't get released on shutdown, that throws off many people. No, I've never used NSTimer, NSThread, or NSInvocation in this project. There is no MainMenu.nib and no application delegate. The only global Cocoa objects are a couple of registered value transformers and an object that watches NSUserDefaults with KVO. Any of these ring a bell with regard to your project?

On my iMac, Scott's demo can easily display 1000 layers with great performance and 4000 layers with acceptable performance, so 80 layers on a machine ten times slower would seem quite possible. As others have said, testing should reveal the answer but I suspect performance would be quite acceptable. -- Rob Keniger ___ Cocoa-dev mailing list (Cocoa-dev@lists.apple.com) Please do not post admin requests or moderator comments to the list.

This is understandable, given how hopelessly inadequate 99% of scriptable applications' documentation is, along with the rather unusual, counter-intuitive way that Apple event IPC works in the first place. Suffice it to say: nothing in AppleScript makes sense except in the light of RPC plus queries[1][2]. IOW, you can either approach it on its own terms and accept it for what it is, which will weird you out till you get your head around it; or else you can try to approach it in conventional OO terms, in which case it will frequently confuse and frustrate you whenever it behaves in a non-OO fashion (which is quite often). Regarding the playing of iTunes playlists, here's a quick attempt to clarify: iTunes has no 'play playlist' command as you suggest. There is, however, a 'play' command (Apple event), and various kinds of playable objects: sources, several kinds of playlists (audio CD playlists, library playlists, user playlists, etc), and several kinds of tracks (file tracks, URL tracks, etc). To use the 'play' command, you construct a query (reference in AppleScript jargon) identifying the object you want played, then pass that query as the 'play' command's direct parameter. e.g.: play (source 1) play (source Library) play (playlist My Top Rated) play (first playlist whose name is My Top Rated) play (user playlist My Top Rated) play (user playlist My Top Rated of source 1) play (track 1 of user playlist My Top Rated) play (file track id 56315 of user playlist id 520 of source id 41) etc. As you can see, queries can be pretty flexible in how they identify objects. But whatever query you use, it's up to iTunes' 'play' event handler to evaluate that query in order to locate the object or objects to act upon, and do its funky thing. Oh, and BTW: one thing you will almost never find provided by applications' scripting documentation (be it built-in dictionaries and/ or supplementary files) is any formal indication of which commands can operate on which objects, so expect to use some intelligent guesswork and trial-and-error testing to figure this out for yourself. (Yes, this sucks; AppleScripters have been kvetching about it for the last decade, without notable effect. It's just something you'll have to deal with; the AppleScript-users list is good for advice, and there's a whole stack of existing iTunes scripts at http://dougscripts.com to learn from.) ... If you want to try to wrap your head around the AppleScript way, chapter 2 in the appscript manual tries to provide a quick summary of the concepts involved. There's also an excellent paper by William Cook (one of the original AppleScript designers), which describes both the language and the Apple event-based IPC system created around it, and provides significant insights into the original motives and decisions behind its design. It dates back to the early days of AppleScript so doesn't discuss the more recent related Cocoa-based APIs, but the underlying principles are unchanged: http://www.cs.utexas.edu/users/wcook/Drafts/2006/ashopl.pdf Matt Neuburg's AppleScript: The Definitive Guide also provides a good, critical, programmer-friendly guide to AppleScript and application scripting principles; obviously a big chunk of the book is about AppleScript itself which might not be of so much interest to you, but I've heard at least one other non-AppleScript user say that they've found it helpful, albeit after a slow start (presumably the basic AppleScript language chapters). HTH has [1] (With apologies to Theodosius Dobzhansky.) [2] FWIW, it is an odd and unfamiliar way to do IPC, and there are a lot of real-life design and implementation shortcomings that make it much more difficult than it ought to be, but at a basic level it is a logical and self-consistent - and even somewhat elegant (if unusual) - system. The nearest analogy I can think of is using XPath queries over XML-RPC, if that helps. -- Control AppleScriptable applications

Re: Play Playlist in iTunes
I am not using AppleScript to do this, I am using AppleEvents, as you

{
OSErr err;
AppleEvent cmdEvent;
err = AEBuildAppleEvent(iTunesSignature,
ET_PLAY,
typeApplSignature,
iTunesSignature,
sizeof(iTunesSignature),
kAutoGenerateReturnID,

cmdEvent,
NULL,
'':obj { form:'name', want:'type'(cPly), seld:'utxt'(@),
from:'null'() },
[playlist
lengthOfBytesUsingEncoding:NSUnicodeStringEncoding],
[playlist
cStringUsingEncoding:NSUnicodeStringEncoding]);
if (err != noErr) {
ETLog(@Error creating Apple Event: %d, err);
return;
}
err = AESendMessage(cmdEvent, NULL, kAENoReply | kAENeverInteract,
kAEDefaultTimeout);
if (err != noErr) {
ETLog(@Error sending AppleEvent: %d, err);
}
AEDisposeDesc(cmdEvent);
}
- (void)playTrack:(long)track ofPlaylist:(NSString *)playlist
{
OSErr err;
AppleEvent cmdEvent;
err = AEBuildAppleEvent(iTunesSignature,
ET_PLAY,

track,

if (err != noErr) {
ETLog(@Error sending AppleEvent: %d, err);
}
AEDisposeDesc(cmdEvent);
}
I would prefer using AppleEvents because it is the right way to
communicate with different things in the os, using cocoa.
Sorry if there was any mess understanding,

P.S. this code was made with EyeTunes, framework, in mind so I used
the available properties and references for creating the code so it
would be all on the same track as the rest of the code in EyeTunes.

A way to use multiple colours with one NSBezierPath?
Hello again I would like to draw one path, which is used as a border. I naively assumed I could change the colour of the path as it is constructed, but it seems this is not the case. If I change the colour (using [[NSColor blackColor] set]; for example), this changes the colour for the entire path. Basically what I would like to know is: Is it possible to use multiple colours in one line, as in the following: Bottom + BR + BL corners = black Right = Orange Top + TR + TL corners = black Left = Orange Yes, I know this would be hideous, it is just an example. I was attempting this by using [[NSColor aColor] set]; after each path element is drawn, but it is causing the whole path to take the value of the last set colour. I would also like to say that I really appreciate the incredible amount of quality suggestions and advice I have received from this list, you're all wonderfully talented and kind. Without your help I would have bashed my computer into little pieces long ago.

Accessing Menu in Another Nib
Greetings! So, let's say I have a menu in a secondary NIB file that I plan to use as a status bar menu. Since the user may not want that menu to even exist, I don't want to load it if it doesn't need to be, so it's in a secondary nib file. Is there any way to access that menu from that second nib file? Basically, is there any way for me to load that second NIB file (using something like 'loadNibNamed:' or the like) and then get the menu that I have connected to the File's Owner 'menu' outlet, or is my only option to put the menu in the MainMenu NIB file and immediately release it if the user doesn't want it?

Not explicitly, but maybe. This seems to be taking place when the content for the NSTreeController is changing (explicitly) in one thread, causing a reload in the outline view, and in another thread the NSOutlineView's drawrect is getting called.
