Re: inter-object communication
- Original Message From: Albert Jordan [EMAIL PROTECTED] What is the recommended way for Object B to inform Object A that it is done processing a request for the following scenario? Object A has a list of phone numbers to send SMS messages Object B implements sending an SMS message to a given phone number I think a delegate is the usual Cocoa pattern for this kind of situation. You could have Object B send Object A an -objectB:didSendSMSMessage:toNumber: message or something along those lines.

NSTableColumn unbindable when NSSegmentedCell is used?
Hello, I'm migrating a non-binding version of an NSTableView over to a binded version. In the non-binding version (using a data source), one of my table columns used a subclass of NSSegmentedCell, and I merely overrode setObjectValue in order to capture the data and set the number of segments, their labels, etc. In the binded version, I have successfully converted all of the text field cells - each NSTableColumn has a 'value' binding, which I set to [controller.arrangedObjects.key], and I'm able to see all of my text data just fine. However, the NSTableColumn containing my NSSegmentedCell subclass mysteriously lacks a 'value' binding, and I'm unable to fathom how to set the data inside of it. Can anyone point me to the correct way to bind my arrangedObjects to those NSSegmentedCells? Thanks very much!

How to show Interface Builder's build warning and messages?
Recently I was building my project and saw there were some warnings and messages regarding a XIB file. For example, there were warnings that some connection outlets were broken, and there were messages that some views were clipping their own content. After I fixed the connection outlets, the warnings were gone, but the messages were no longer displayed neither, yet I still wanted to fix the clipping views too. In other words, if there are no warnings but only messages in a XIB, the latter are not shown in the build results. How do I re-show these messages again in IB? I tried to click Info for the XIB in IB, but the list is empty. ___ Cocoa-dev mailing list (Cocoa-dev@lists.apple.com) Please do not post admin requests or moderator comments to the list.

Re: filtering a tableView from a pulldown

Savant wrote: The pulldown is bound as follows: content: arrangedObjects[PurchaseOrder Array Controller(NSArray Controller)] content values: Purchase ORder Array Controller arrangedObjects.orderReference These bindings seem fine. How about selection? One of the popup's selection bindings should be bound to the PurchaseOrder Array Controller's selection. The pop up has selectedObject bound to Purchase Order Array Controller 2 selection.orderReference All of this is on a panel that appears when I select a Purchase Order and click a Details button. The popup correctly shows the selected Purchase Order Order Reference, and lists all of the other Purchase orders within it. The Table view has 6 columns, one of which is the Purchase Order number (as displayed in the pulldown) This seems wrong. If your table is intended to display the line items belonging to the order, why have the order number on each line item? I don't really need it, I created most of the interface by alt- dragging from the data model, and it put it there, at the moment it's handy for me to quickly see that it's not working properly, as when it is working, all the lines should have the same value there. It's not vital for it to be there though, In any case, you need a *separate* controller to reflect the line items of the selected order. Create an array controller and set it up so that it holds your line item objects. We'll call it your Line Item Array Controller. OK, I have an Array Controller for that, called Purchase Order Items Array Controller. Its contents should be bound to PurchaseOrder Array Controller's selection.lineItems (or whatever the key path is to your order's line items). At the moment the content Object is bound to selection.orderReference of the Purchase Order Array Controller. I tried to bind the contentArray to that but it threw an error, Your table view's columns should each be bound to the Line Item Array Controller's arrangedObjects.property (where property refers to individual properties such as item number, description, quantity, etc.).

Re: ASL Unicode in Xcode's Console

I too put the logging in a wrapper class, with a method that does the
heavy lifting and a few macros that simplify its use. Now, instead
using ASL_OPT_STDERR, I just fprintf nicely formatted messages to
stderr.
To make sure that there's no duplication of messages in the Console, I
wrapped the fprintf section in a conditional to ensure it's a tty.
Now, when Xcode runs the app, logging is echoed to Xcode's console. It
also has the advantage that Debug-level messages show up in the
console, but syslog's filters prevent them from making it to the
system log. (I got the idea from http://www.cocoabuilder.com/archive/message/cocoa/2008/2/11/198548

Re: How do I call a function when my preference pane bundle closes?
Thank you Jamie and Jason. Jamie's email has just panicked me as I've been using CFPreferences rather than NSUserDefaults. It's a system preference pane and I understood that CFPreferences was the way to do this. The documents for CFPreferences kept on saying not to synchronize regularly, so I thought that when synching when the window closed would be a good option.

Re: ASL Unicode in Xcode's Console
Sean, Thanks for following up to my comment 8-). Yes, we do support non-ASCII characters in CFString/NSString literals with the compiler shipped with Xcode 3.0 and later. The compiler does recognize the CFSTR() macro in non-Objc source files and both the macro and @ notion in ObjC files. The documentation is not updated to reflect the new functionality, yet. Filing bugs would certainly help. Note I realized that some of you might have experienced issues embedding non-ASCII characters even with Xcode 3.x compilers earlier this year.

Re: file references in CoreData
I'm currently working on a system that uses NDAlias (http://codebeach.org/code/show/34 ) in a CoreData store. It works pretty well in that the user can move the files around when the app isn't running and (so long as they stay on the same volume) it'll find them again when it wakes up. I'm using mogenerator (http://rentzsch.com/code/mogenerator), so I set the attribute to the 'Transformable' and add to the user info (in the user tab of the model editor the key: 'attributeValueClassName' and value: 'NDAlias'. I also had to modify the standard template to #import NDAlias.h which is a little hacky - but I didn't have time to follow it up. If you do use NDAlias, keep in mind that the factory you will most likely use +[NDAlias aliasFromPath] only creates a minimal alias that doesn't follow moved files (and seems a little pointless to me!) so use one of the other methods (where you specify a relative path). pt.

mistake is dead obvious.
I am trying to detect whether any window moves on the screen. As far as I

little test code below, which registers callbacks then waits 20 seconds, I
never see the message Updated or Refreshed. The code builds and runs
without warnings.
Any ideas?

First, I wanted to thank Aki Inoue and Rob Keniger for pointing out the problem

As an alternative, would it be fruitful to use a Directory Wrapper to represent

work with the metadata file, but just display the pdf file.
In the What could go wrong here? department, would my compound file end up
behaving like a directory (or worse)?

Re: Problem with NSData to NSString to NSData
On Oct 29, 2008, at 3:46 PM, Joel Norvell wrote: Dear Cocoa-dev People, First, I wanted to thank Aki Inoue and Rob Keniger for pointing out the problem with my NSData-NSString-NSData approach. As an alternative, would it be fruitful to use a Directory Wrapper to represent the data as two files; one the metadata and the other the pdf? Then I could work with the metadata file, but just display the pdf file. In the What could go wrong here? department, would my compound file end up behaving like a directory (or worse)? From your original implementation of putting the metadata directly into the PDF file, you'll now end up with obviously a proprietary file. i.e. No application that works with PDF will be able to work with that file. By having a separate file, things can become fragile. However, the solution here is to use a package type for a custom document. Just as TextEdit does for the rtfd type. Your package folder would then contain the original PDF and a separate file (or files) for your metadata. This document type would most likely not be openable in any app that opens PDF (unless their open dialogs have the 'allow navigation of packages' option set). But, advanced users could your package via Finder and work with the PDF directly if they need to. ___ Ricky A.

[MEET] CocoaHeads Mac Developer Meetings
Greetings, CocoaHeads is an international Mac programmer's group. We specialize in Cocoa, but everything Mac programming related is welcome. Why Should I Attend? Meeting other Mac OS X developers in person is both fun and immensely useful. There's no better way to learn Cocoa or get help with problems than being around other people who are writing Mac software. We usually have several Cocoa experts hanging around that are happy to answer whatever questions they can. Bring your laptop and any code you're working on. Everyone is Welcome Meetings are free and open to the public. Feel free to drop in even if you've never attended or aren't currently using Cocoa. We usually have a few new faces, so don't worry about being the odd one out. Upcoming meetings: Canada Ottawa/Gatineau- Thursday November 13, 2008 08:00 PM EDT.

What's wrong with this font thing?
OK, I have to assume that I'm doing something really wrong here, but
man, I sure can't see it. Maybe my understanding is out of whack,
maybe some kind soul will show me the light... (Sorry for the length,
I'm trying to include all relevant information up front.)
I am attempting to replicate an API call that is available on another
platform, but not on Mac OS X. The call in question takes a string, a
font, a width, and reduces the font size (if necessary) theoretically
applied to that string such that when drawn, that string would occupy
no more than the specified width (down to a mimimum font size also
specified), and then returns the adjusted font size as well as the
NSSize that the string would occupy if it were to be drawn with that
font at that adjusted size.
Here is my version of that routine:
- (NSSize)sizeWithFont:(NSFont *)font
minFontSize:(CGFloat)minFontSize
actualFontSize:(CGFloat *)actualFontSize
forWidth:(CGFloat)width
{
CGFloat pointSize = [font pointSize];
NSDictionary *attrs = [NSDictionary dictionaryWithObject:font
forKey:NSFontAttributeName];
NSSize thisSize = [self sizeWithAttributes:attrs];
if (width 0) {
while (pointSize = minFontSize) {
attrs = [NSDictionary dictionaryWithObject:[NSFont
fontWithName:[font fontName]
size:pointSize]
forKey:NSFontAttributeName];
thisSize = [self sizeWithAttributes:attrs];
if (thisSize.width = width) {
break;
}
pointSize -= 1.0;
}
}
if (actualFontSize != NULL) {
*actualFontSize = (pointSize minFontSize) ? pointSize :
minFontSize;
}
return thisSize;
}
The font in question at this particular juncture is Arial Bold (NSFont
= Arial-BoldMT 16.00 pt. P [] (0x16274640) fobj=0x16262bc0,
spc=4.45; says gdb when I 'po font'). The font is originally
retrieved by doing [NSFont fontWithName:@Arial-BoldMT size:16.0].
If I start out at a size 20, here are the resulting sizes for a given
string:
At 20, height = 23
At 19, height = 22
At 18, height = 21
At 17, height = 20
At 16, height = 18
At 15, height = 21
At 14, height = 20
At 13, height = 19
At 12, height = 18
I forced that routine to start at 20 for debugging purposes; the
actual font sent in is of size 16, the minimum is 12, and in fact, at
12 the string fits into the specified width.
However, when I draw the string at the reduced size using -
drawInRect:withAttributes:, the baseline of the string moves; I wanted
to adjust for that by using the difference in heights from drawing it
big versus drawing it reduced, but there is no difference in heights
between 16 and 12. That boggles my mind.
Why does the height suddenly jump UP going from 16 down to 15 points?

I'm not sure, but could it be that there are thresholds where a different master font is used? As you cross the threshold the system decides to base the font on a different master. A different solution if you know you are just displaying the text is to convert the glyphs to a path and simply scale the path to fit. That way you can scale it utterly smoothly with no jumps or sudden change in appearance. But if you wish to stick with using the Font Manager, wouldn't you be better off doing a binary search for the right size? Gradually shrinking the font to fit could end up being slow especially as there may be all sorts of font loading/caching going on in the font manager. A binary search would also allow you to start at any size and *increase* the font size if necessary as well as decrease it, as well as being the fastest way to get there.

Re: What's wrong with this font thing?
- Divide the space available by the measured width to find the scale factor You can also use the scale factor to create a new font with a fractional size. I have the same problem for a terminal emulator - I need the largest fixed font that will fit in a particular character spacing. When I resize the window the sizes jump all over the place and the font is clearly changing in subtle ways.

I'm doing multiple NSString drawInRect:withAttributes: calls, all within a single view. Remember that transforms are always relative to the view's origin, so just scaling will move the rect. You have to transform to the origin, scale, then transform back to where you want to draw the text. If you were using NSAffineTransform it would go like this: (warning: typed in Mail) NSAffineTransform* transform = [NSAffineTransform transform]; [transform translateXBy:myRect.origin.x yBy:myRect.origin.y]; [transform scaleXBy:myScaleFactor yBy:myScaleFactor]; [transform translateXBy:-myRect.origin.x yBy:-myRect.origin.y]; [transform concat]; If using the CTM methods in Core Graphics, there are equivalent functions. This assumes that the rect's origin is where the text origin is, I can't remember if that's actually the case, but if it isn't then just translate to the necessary point and back. You need to save/restore the graphics state around each drawing call. (BTW Peter's approach is a good one, much easier than converting the glyphs to a path, but with identical results). hth, Graham ___ Cocoa-dev mailing list (Cocoa-dev@lists.apple.com) Please do not post admin requests or moderator comments to the list.

Re: What's wrong with this font thing?
The threshold being discussed here is the boundary between the screen font vs printer font in NSFont jargon. For font size smaller than 16pt, we automatically substitute the default printer font to its corresponding screen font. The metrics gap is caused by the substitution. You can disable the auto-substitution with NSStringDrawingDisableScreenFontSubstitution flag. When you change the scale/font size, the baseline shifts naturally when you layout from the top. In order to keep it fixed at the baseline, you need to layout/render on it. -drawInRect:withAttributes: always render from the top. To render with the baseline, use -drawWithRect:options:attributes:.
