CA: fillMode and rotation animation . . .
I have a number of layers that use rotation animation about the Z- axis. Whenever the animation(s) complete the layer returns to the original state (zero rotational offset).

NSTableView text color of cells in highlighted rows unreadable
Hi, I am trying to turn off the highlight color. I subclassed NSTableView and NSTextAttachmentCell. In my tv-subclass I override - (void)highlightSelectionInClipRect:(NSRect)theClipRect and use clearColor to draw the selected rows which works. But I haven't found the way to draw the text in black regardless of the row's hightlight- state, so it continues to write the cell content in white on a white background whenever it's highlighted. Can someone please point me into the right direction?

a newbie question
I am working from one of the numerous books in Obj C.
My question, which I have asked at another list, is about the method
init.
Firstly, here is the code, stripped somewhat of irrelevant
( hopefully ) code.
/* #import Foundation/Foundation.h */
#import stdio.h
#import objc/Object.h
@interface Fraction : Object
{
int Numerator;
int Denominator;
}
-() methodsToImplementFraction;
@end
@implementation Fraction;
- ( void) methods{
doStuffHere;
}
@end
int main (int argc, const char * argv[]) {
Fraction *myFraction;
myFraction= [Fraction alloc];
myFraction= [Fraction init]; /* ??? */
return 0;
}
My question is this. As I step through the debugger in Xcode, it is
not that obvious that any change occurs with the code marked /* ???
*/. So, my question is , is there some fundamental thing that init
does ( for example, the member variables seem to be initialized with
the alloc method) and it obviously does...else it would not be
emphasized as much as it is...or will this become obvious later as I
work through more Obj-C.
Thanks in advance.

Re: Play/Pause, rew/ff keys ...
I would also like to know this. I tried fiddling around with an as- low-as-I-could-go CGEventTap a while ago to try and intercept them, but they never showed up in the callback. Ditto on the volume and eject keys. I think these buttons may work on the same principle as secure textfields. They somehow get re-routed around the standard event route.

Re: ActiveRecord on Cocoa
Here's another one to consider: http://code.google.com/p/sqlitepersistentobjects/ It's similar to ActiveRecord, but is designed to be zero- configuration. I tend to think of it as reverse-ActiveRecord because instead of populating the object based on the database table, we create the database table based on the properties. Basically, your class becomes both your class and its own migration. It's still in active development, but the basic functionality work quite well and it's very easy to set up, no configuration steps necessary, just subclass an existing class instead of NSObject, and set up Objective-C properties for everything that should be persisted, the framework will do the rest - call save, to save, use a class method to load or query.

RE : a newbie question
You should derive your classes from NSObject, not from Object.
You normally don't have to #include objc/Object.h.
Where did you find such an example?
The alloc method basically does a calloc of the appropriate instance size.
The init method of NSObject does nothing.
It's good practive to always call an init metod in your own constructor and
when you create a new object.
So all you have to do is this:
Fraction *myFraction = [[Fraction alloc] init];
Don't forget to (auto)release this object when you're done.

another n00b question -- addObserver weirdness
Hello, all ...
I'm experiencing weird issues with addObserver / removeObserver. I
log when I add observers, as well as when I try to remove them, but I
sometimes (not always) get an exception when I remove an observer:

... the crash:

uncaught exception 'NSRangeException', reason: 'Cannot remove an
observer MagnatuneAppDelegate 0x11d3b0 for the key path
buffersEmpty from AudioStreamer 0x90fe00 because it is not
registered as an observer.'
The MagnatuneAppDelegate address (11d3b0) is the same, so i'm adding
observers to / removing observers from the same (and only) instance.
Why does Cocoa then think that I didn't add the buffersEmpty
observer when I clearly did?
The crash happens here, in the MagnatuneAppDelegate -stopStream method:
- (void)stopStream
{
if (streamer)
{
[streamer removeObserver:self forKeyPath:@buffersEmpty];
[streamer stop];
}
}
... and MagnatuneAppDelegate spawns the streamer thread like this:
- (void)playStream:(UInt32)streamIndexToPlay
{
NSLog(@playStream -- current thread ID: %x, [NSThread
currentThread]);
.
.
.
if (streamIndexToPlay [self countOfCurrentSongList])
{
self.donePlaying = false;
Song *streamToPlay = [self
objectInCurrentSongListAtIndex:streamIndexToPlay];
NSString *address = @http://he3.magnatune.com/all/;;
address = [address stringByAppendingString:streamToPlay.mp3];
.
.
.
NSURL *url = [NSURL URLWithString:[address
stringByAddingPercentEscapesUsingEncoding:NSASCIIStringEncoding]];
NSLog(@creating and starting audio engine to play mp3 stream %s,

streamer = [[AudioStreamer alloc] initWithURL:url];

[streamer addObserver:self forKeyPath:@failed options:0
context:nil];
[streamer addObserver:self forKeyPath:@buffersEmpty options:0

[streamer start];
}
.
.
.
}
The AudioStreamer -start method is:
- (void)start
{
streamerThread = [[NSThread alloc] initWithTarget:self
selector:@selector(startInternal) object:nil];
[[NSNotificationCenter defaultCenter] addObserver:self

[streamerThread start];
MagnatuneAppDelegate *appDelegate = (MagnatuneAppDelegate *)

Question:
Is there a better way to retrieve the generic bundle icon?
I think you have to start by defining - for us but maybe also for
yourself - what you mean by the generic bundle icon because I
certainly wouldn't have assumed you meant the icon for a kernel
extension or for 'plugin (code) modules' as that icon implies. Since
there are no real implications about what the salient contents of a
bundle are, I'd've thought the generic document icon was it.
What are you really trying to illustrate with this icon? Are you sure
the Lego® block is the right thing to show?___

Re: cocoa binding for the data maintained by the other thread.

So, if the data is not edited through the view, just be maintained by background threads, will the cocoa binding not effect? I have an application, which will create another secondary thread to search the network service, for example, the network printer, the thread will add the printer list to my data filed, like a NSArray object.

The MagnatuneAppDelegate address (11d3b0) is the same, so i'm adding

With the code you've shown, it appears you'd crash exactly like that

something like:

Search field menu resets
I have a controller in which I setup a menu for a search field in a
toolbar. The search field is set to return the whole search string. I
have a procedure that looks basically like this:
-(void)setupSearchMenu
{
NSMenu *cellMenu = [[[NSMenu alloc] initWithTitle:@Search Menu]
autorelease];
NSMenuItem *item;
item = [[[NSMenuItem alloc] initWithTitle:@Item 1
action:@selector(setSearchCategoryFrom:) keyEquivalent:@]
autorelease];
[item setTarget:self];
[item setTag:0];
[item setState:1];
[cellMenu insertItem:item atIndex:0];
item = [[[NSMenuItem alloc] initWithTitle:@Item 2
action:@selector(setSearchCategoryFrom:) keyEquivalent:@]
autorelease];
[item setTarget:self];
[item setTag:1];
[item setState:0];
[cellMenu insertItem:item atIndex:1];
id searchCell = [searchField cell];
[searchCell setSearchMenuTemplate:cellMenu];
}
The procedure is fired only when the view in question becomes visible
by user action (I have verified this with NSLog statements.) After
this initialization takes place I flip check boxes to indicate what
search mode a user is in as they make selections from the menu. This
state is maintained right up to the point where enter is hit or the X
in the search field is clicked at which point the menu reverts back to
its initial state. This throws it out of sync with what the user has
selected and I don't think the menu should change just because one
search instance is triggered. Changing is the users decision. Is this
behavior normal or am I doing something wrong in the construction of
this menu or configuration of the search field?
TIA.

NSTokenField Represented Objects
Hello all,
I'm having a bit of trouble with NSTokenFields and represented objects.
What I am trying to achieve is to create a predicate from text entered
in a token field. It goes like this:
User enters text, gets a completion if necessary, types tokenising
character, token created, user presses a start button, the token's
represented object returns a uti for inclusion in the predicate.
The token field has completions for substring method implemented in
its delegate as such:
- (NSArray *)tokenField:(NSTokenField *)tokenField
completionsForSubstring:(NSString *)substring indexOfToken:
(NSInteger)tokenIndex indexOfSelectedItem:(NSInteger *)selectedIndex {
...
else if (tokenField == fileTypeTokenField) {
NSArray *matchingFileTypes = [[fileTypeArray
valueForKey:@description] filteredArrayUsingPredicate:[NSPredicate
predicateWithFormat:@SELF beginswith[cd] %@, substring]];
return matchingFileTypes;
...
fileTypeArray is an array of dictionaries comprising a description key
and a UTI key.
All is good for the user entering some text in the token field and
getting matches for the substring. The user types the tokenising
character and the token is created. But now it seems there is no
connection to the dictionary object. The class of the represented
object is now NSCFString not NSDictionary.
I also have this delegate method implemented:
- (NSString *)tokenField:(NSTokenField *)tokenField
displayStringForRepresentedObject:(id)representedObject {
if (tokenField == fileTypeTokenField) {
return representedObject;
}
}
Do I have to implement tokenField:representedObjectForEditingString: ?
If so how?
Any ideas or thoughts would be greatly appreciated.
Regards,
Jason

Re: NSSplitView can't expand once collapsed
Hi,
At first, I think just as you mentioned, and I want to file a bug too.
But the view being collapsed is not actually being collapsed, it is just
being set *HIDDEN*, and its size remains unchanged. Suppose the splitview is
horizontal and we have 2 views, leftView and rightView. We overrided the
following code:
- (BOOL)splitView:(NSSplitView *)sender canCollapseSubview:(NSView *)subview
{
return YES;
}
- (float)splitView:(NSSplitView *)sender
constrainMinCoordinate:(float)proposedMin ofSubviewAt:(NSInteger)offset
{
return proposedMin + 100.0;
}
- (float)splitView:(NSSplitView *)sender
constrainMaxCoordinate:(float)proposedMax ofSubviewAt:(NSInteger)offset
{
return proposedMax - 100.0;
}
If we want to collapse/expand leftView, we better invoke following function:
- (IBAction)collapse:(id)sender
{
NSView * leftview = [[splitview subviews] objectAtIndex:0];
NSView * rightview = [[splitview subviews] objectAtIndex:1];
NSRect leftFrame = [leftview frame];
NSRect rightFrame = [rightview frame];
rightFrame.origin.x = [splitview dividerThickness];
rightFrame.size.width += leftFrame.size.width;
[leftview setHidden:YES];
[rightview setFrame:rightFrame];
}
- (IBAction)expand:(id)sender
{
NSView * leftview = [[splitview subviews] objectAtIndex:0];
NSView * rightview = [[splitview subviews] objectAtIndex:1];
NSRect leftFrame = [leftview frame];
NSRect rightFrame = [rightview frame];
rightFrame.size.width -= leftFrame.size.width;
rightFrame.origin.x = leftFrame.size.width + [splitview dividerThickness];
[leftview setHidden:NO];
[rightview setFrame:rightFrame];
}
Personally I don't think setting width of leftview to zero is a good idea.
Hope this can be helpful.

Yup, this is a total mess. Horizontal splits are even worse as you
can't even uncollapse from code after a programmatic collapse. This
is my workaround, though it would need to be adapted for your
purposes.

Re: Play/Pause, rew/ff keys ...
I noodled around with this for SousChef, and it's fairly straight forward to get the events (I can provide code if desired). However the problem I ran into was that I couldn't stop the events from also going to iTunes like the QT player does. So its not too helpful since a person using SousChef hits ffwd and SousChef would advance to the next step, however iTunes would also advance to the next song. Has anyone had any luck eating these events as they come in? -Ben -- Ben Lachman Acacia Tree Software http://acaciatreesoftware.com email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] twitter: @benlachman mobile: 740.590.0009 On Nov 11, 2008, at 12:01 PM, Bill Monk wrote: Does anyone have experience intercepting the play/pause and rew/ff (seek back / seek forward) keys on some keyboards?

Objet : How are we supposed to retrieve the generic bundle icon?
I need to get a NSImage of the generic bundle icon. (Mac OS X 10.4 or
later)
I'm currently using this:
[[NSImage alloc] initWithContentsOfFile:@/System/Library/
CoreServices/CoreTypes.bundle/Contents/Resources/KEXT.icns]
because:
- NSFileTypeForHFSTypeCode('BNDL') does not work. It returns a
generic document icon.
- I haven't found an appropriate constant for NSFileTypeForHFSTypeCode.
- I can't rely on -[NSWorkspace iconForFileType:@.bundle] because,
for instance, as soon as Microsoft Word is installed, icons
for .bundle can display a Word bundle icon instead of the correct one.
- I haven't found so far a better solution while googling for one.
Question:
Is there a better way to retrieve the generic bundle icon?

How to draw whole NSImage inside custom rect in NSView
Hello
I have custom NSView, and want to draw whole NSImage inside some
custom rectangular area of NSView.
I tried to use [NSImage drawInRect:...] but result does not fit
desired rectangular area of NSView.
My code:
- (void) setPreviewWidth:(float)width height:(float)height
{
margin = width / 25;
maxScanArea = NSMakeRect(margin, margin, width, height);
canvasArea = NSMakeRect(0, 0, width + 2.0 * margin, height + 2.0 *
margin);
[self setBounds:canvasArea];
}
- (void) drawRect:(NSRect)rect
{
// Drawing image in preview
if (image) {
NSRect imageRect;
imageRect.origin = NSZeroPoint;
imageRect.size = [image size];
[image drawInRect:maxScanArea
fromRect:imageRect
operation:NSCompositeSourceOver
fraction:1];
// I want image to be drawn in maxScanArea rect, but it is drawn in
[self bounds] rect.
}
}
Could you advise how can I draw exactly inside maxScanArea NSRect in
NSView?
BR, Alexander.

Re: Rotating a QTMovie doesn't work the way it used to
I don't know anything about the old QuickTime APIs. But I would suggest the new way to do this is use Core Animation. Thanks for the suggestion! I wasn't too keen on using layers for this, and fortunately, it turned out that I can still rotate single QuickTime tracks successfully. And I guess that's precisely what the QuickTime Player does, too. Looking back, I wonder why I didn't try doing it that way in the first place. So, to recap, just in case anyone else ever gets stuck on a similar issue: 1. With current QuickTime versions (such as QuickTime 7.5.5, which I'm currently testing against), you can't rotate an entire movie's matrix successfully anymore. This used to work with earlier QuickTime versions. 2. However, you can still rotate its tracks by getting their matrices via GetTrackMatrix(), rotating those, and setting them via SetTrackMatrix().

Re: How to draw whole NSImage inside custom rect in NSView
Hi, Ken
Thank you for answer.
But simple color filling was first what I have tried.
When I add following code inside -(void)drawRect method, it fills
exactly maxScanArea:
[[NSColor whiteColor] set];
[NSBezierPath fillRect:maxScanArea];
But -(void)drawInRect:maxScanArea places picture outside maxScanArea.
My target is to implement NSImage preview window with drag-n-drop
selection frame, like Select Tool in Preview.app. May be such custom
control exists and I simply do not know about it. But until I find
something suitable I have to deal with drawInRect:... issue.

Hi, I have read some documents about the Cocoa Bindings. And I got a question here for more comments. If I use the cocoa binding technology in my application, my application must fully follow a Model-View-Controller paradigm. The views display and edit that data, and controllers mediate between the two. So, if the data is not edited through the view, just be maintained by background threads, will the cocoa binding not effect? I have an application, which will create another secondary thread to search the network service, for example, the network printer, the thread will add the printer list to my data filed, like a NSArray object. The there is a table view in the UI which used to show the printer list. In this case, it seems that the cocoa binding can not sync the tableview and the NSArray, am I right?

Re: Play/Pause, rew/ff keys ...
An application of mine, FunctionFlip, does just this - it eats special key presses. I use a CGEventTap at kCGSessionEventTap. To get system events, you have to tell the tap to listen to NX_SYSDEFINED events. Then, if you want to stop the event, just return null from your callback. I can give y'all some code if you're needing.

Re: How to draw whole NSImage inside custom rect in NSView
Actually, I have one idea why this happens.
Maybe because usually width=8, height = 14 so [self bounds] returns
NSRect(0,0,8.64,14.64). And
maxScanArea = NSRect(0.32, 0.32, 8, 14). So there can be some
approximation to integer value, not float.
But it it is true, how to deal with this?

Drag Tabs, Custom Colors
Two questions: 1. What is the most likely approach for allowing tabs from NSTabViews to be dragged between tab views, possibly on different windows? Ideally, I'd have subclasses like a DraggableTabItem and a DraggableToTabView or whatever which would enable this... I'd like to be able to take the tabs themselves and allow them to be dragged around so that the user can somewhat customize the user interface of a complex program. Even better if I can drag the tab out to nowhere (desktop/whatever) and trap that to create a new window (any drag that is far enough from the origin and does not land on a valid receiver, if I can locate where it was dragged to, would work for me here... 2. Is there any easy way to customize the colors used by Cocoa's controls to use neutral grays, like Apple's pro apps? My current line of thought is the Developer color list; can I poseAsClass: the Cocoa class that is used to retrieve this and provide my own Developer list; if I drop an appropriately-named color list file into my bundle somewhere would it be used, etc... Or do I really need to re-implement all of the controls in order to get this? Any input or suggestions/pointers would be appreciated... --- Frank D.

Re: How to draw whole NSImage inside custom rect in NSView
Yes, it is called outside my custom preview code. And values of
maxScanArea, [self bounds] are correct.
Also if I replace [image drawInRect:...] with solid color fill
[NSBezierPath fillRect:maxScanArea], everything works as I expect.

Bindings alert issue
Here's a peculiar little case that I hope is easy to resolve. Here's the case I ran into: I had bound an NSTextField to an attribute of an object. The interface at that point implied that the user could update the value in that field, then immediately click a button to perform an action. The problem was that the value wasn't updated yet, since the user hadn't pressed enter. Just clicking the button apparently isn't enough for the text field to lose focus and commit the changes. To fix, I rewired to use an NSObjectController that pointed at my object, and then bound through that instead of directly to the object. Then, when my save: method was called, I first called [myObjectController commitEditing] and checked its return value. If it succeeded, then there were no validation errors and I continued saving. If it failed, then I bowed out and presented the dialog to the user to fix. Worked like a charm - either my field was saved or the user got an error right away. The problem is that when the button is pressed the error message displays in a new window, whereas if the user were to hit enter, the error message displays in a sheet. I have a simple little test program to illustrate the issue: http://www.bassetsoftware.com/osx/bindingsfail.zip Type in any value to the field. If you type in Microsoft, it fails with a validation error. If you type it in and hit Return, the error displays in a sheet. If you type it in and hit the Save changes button, it displays in a window. It's as if the object controller no longer knows what window it's associated with, so the sheet displays as a window instead. Is there anything I can do differently to get my error to display in a sheet? Because if there isn't something else I can do, I'm going to consider this a bug and file a report.

BOOL madness
Hi,
I'm having trouble converting an object to a BOOL. In my window
controller, I'm observing the model keyPath isDirty which is a BOOL.
version 1
- (void) observeValueForKeyPath:(NSString *)keyPath
ofObject:(id)object
change:(NSDictionary *)change
context:(void *)context
{
if(object == model) {
if([keyPath isEqualToString:@isDirty]) {
[self setDocumentEdited:[change
objectForKey:NSKeyValueChangeNewKey]];
}
}
}
This doesn't work. No matter what the value of isDirty is,
setDocumentEdited: is always called with YES;
So, I add some logging, flags and everything to see what's going on:

Re: BOOL madness
[ [ change objectForKey:NSKeyValueChangeNewKey ] boolValue ]?
it's an object, not a bool, it prints as a bool because the object knows
it's a bool, but you are just testing the object pointer which isn't 0x00

Yes. The value of the BOOL is wrapped by an NSNumber object so that it
can be stored by the change dictionary. You need to do this:
[self setDocumentEdited:[[change objectForKey:NSKeyValueChangeNewKey]
boolValue]];
Note that wherever KVC/KVO returns a scalar value, it is wrapped in an
NSValue or NSNumber as appropriate, and NSNull is substituted for nil.

Re: BOOL madness
That's because you're getting an object pointer back, and any object pointer
except for nil evaluates to true. Assuming you know it will only be one object
inserted at a time, you'd want to do [[change
objectForKey:NSKeyValueChangeNewKey] boolValue].

Re: Bindings alert issue
If you want to make sure that the validation error is bound to the window regardless of how commitEditing is implemented you need to call commitEditingWithDelegate:didCommitSelector:contextInfo: and then in the method you pass in as the didCommitSelector you can check to see if there were any errors and then use presentError:modalForWindow:delegate:didRecoverSelector:contextInfo: to attach them to your window. Whether commitEditing should be showing a separate window or a sheet is not documented anywhere that I see, whether that's a bug or a feature I'm not sure. Ashley On Nov 11, 2008, at 6:57 PM, Jim Thomason wrote: Here's a peculiar little case that I hope is easy to resolve. Here's the case I ran into: I had bound an NSTextField to an attribute of an object. The interface at that point implied that the user could update the value in that field, then immediately click a button to perform an action. The problem was that the value wasn't updated yet, since the user hadn't pressed enter. Just clicking the button apparently isn't enough for the text field to lose focus and commit the changes. To fix, I rewired to use an NSObjectController that pointed at my object, and then bound through that instead of directly to the object. Then, when my save: method was called, I first called [myObjectController commitEditing] and checked its return value. If it succeeded, then there were no validation errors and I continued saving. If it failed, then I bowed out and presented the dialog to the user to fix. Worked like a charm - either my field was saved or the user got an error right away. The problem is that when the button is pressed the error message displays in a new window, whereas if the user were to hit enter, the error message displays in a sheet. I have a simple little test program to illustrate the issue: http://www.bassetsoftware.com/osx/bindingsfail.zip Type in any value to the field. If you type in Microsoft, it fails with a validation error. If you type it in and hit Return, the error displays in a sheet. If you type it in and hit the Save changes button, it displays in a window. It's as if the object controller no longer knows what window it's associated with, so the sheet displays as a window instead. Is there anything I can do differently to get my error to display in a sheet? Because if there isn't something else I can do, I'm going to consider this a bug and file a report.

I know this isn't the question you asked, nor the root of the problem
you are having, but by way of saving you future pain, that is not the
correct way to write an -
observeValueForKeyPath:ofObject:change:context: method.
Always use a unique context. Use the context to determine if the
message is for your (not object or keyPath comparisons.) Call super
for all contexts that you do not recognize as yours.

Re: BOOL madness
I was looking everywhere for BOOL methods conversion and couldn't find any. Now I know why: BOOL is not an object type. Not sure how I could have found [myObject boolValue] though... Now that I know about it, I searched the documentation reference and found that is a method implemented by NSString and NSNumber. I suppose there's some kind of conversion from BOOL to NSString or NSNumber being done somewhere for putting this value in the change dictionary. Thanks to all of you guys.

Async alert
I need an asynchronous alert panel. My impression is that apple doesn't consider this an alert if it's aynchronous. A couple ideas occur to me for how to solve this: 1) Put the alert in a separate thread. But these seems to be a lot of effort to get around a purposeful design, and thus far I have no threads in my application, and would prefer to keep it that way. 2) Use an NSPanel, but how do I duplicate the look and feel of an NSAlert? ___ Cocoa-dev mailing list (Cocoa-dev@lists.apple.com) Please do not post admin requests or moderator comments to the list.

Custom Drawing Arbitrarily Long Lists (using NSTableView?)
I'm working on a fairly simple application which will display a list of n items. Right now, I'm displaying the items in an NSTableView, but I would like to do something with a bit more pizazz. Instead of a multi-column table, I want to make a single column list where each entry in the list custom draws the information and controls it needs (say a couple of labels, a checkbox, a small image, and a text field for each item). Twitteriffic's interface is a pretty good example of the sort of thing I'm going for. In a different world, I would create a custom NSView subclass and add NSTextField and NSButton views as subviews to my subclass; and then ask the table view to use my NSView subclass to draw each row. Unfortunately, NSTableView doesn't display NSView objects: it displays NSCell objects. I've never worked with NSCell before so I'm sort of shooting in the dark. NSCell doesn't seem to support subcells like NSView supports subviews. Would I have to custom draw all of the UI elements I need and hand-code the click responses and editing and such? (My other idea would be to write a subclass of NSView which basically does what NSTableView does; but using NSView objects instead of NSCell objects). Both of my ideas seem like far too much work; which makes me think I'm almost certainly doing it wrong. So what are my bad assumptions and how would you do this?

Only asynchronous things use sheets. Remember also that bindings-triggered validation (via the validatekey method) uses a sheet, but only after the next pass through the run loop. And closing the window doesn't trigger anything by default. Or quitting the application. And there are interactions between undo and text fields that are actively being typed in. The semantics of committing edits in a long-lived window like a document window seem rather tricky to me. In the end, I gave up trying to do it, and used dialogs (sheets) with good ol' OK and Cancel buttons instead. ___ Cocoa-dev mailing list (Cocoa-dev@lists.apple.com) Please do not post admin requests or moderator comments to the list.

Well, you could display a small, ordinary window and then display an asynchronous alert sheet on that window. But are non-modal alerts what you want, though? Alert windows are application-modal (that is, they block the entire application). Alert sheets are document-modal (that is, they block the window they're displayed on, which is often a document window). The key word here is block. If your application puts up an alert and then just goes about its merry way, then you don't really have an alert, you have an informative message, and re-purposing an alert's purposeful design doesn't really send the appropriate user interface clues. Message windows of your own design, or a message panel in another window, or a single message window that can list multiple messages, might be a more useful choice.
