Alex, I think my favorite part of your response is that, what I said wasn't something to be vaguely recalled, a lost moment enveloped in a foggy memory, a fragment of a conversation hopelessly swallowed by the past.

UILabel with superscripts
Right now I am using an UILabel with unicode symbols to show strings with superscripts, something like this: NSInteger base = 2; myLabel.text = [NSString stringWithFormat: @%d\u00B2 = %d, base, base*base]; But it kinda looks ugly in my opinion, the subscript is too low relative to the regular characters. Maybe it's the font I'm using, which is the standard system font. Are there alternatives? I read about using an UIWebView, but that seems a bit overkill for a simple string.

Re: Can scroll direction be changed programmatically?
What are you actually trying to accomplish? I often switch between using my rMBP directly, and plugging it into this giant monitor. When I'm just using the rMBP's trackpad, I want the scroll direction to be natural. But when I'm plugged in and using a mouse, I'd prefer it to be unnatural. So I'm hoping to find some way of programmatically doing this. Then I can plug my solution into my Zephyros config and bind it to a global hotkey. This app is super handy. It would be even better actually if I could find some notification that's triggered when you plug into or unplug from an external monitor, then it would automatically toggle this for me. I found out that it's the global defaults key com.apple.swipescrolldirection, but I can't figure out how to force every open app to notice the new value when I set it. Seems like I'd probably have to kill loginwindow or something to get the OS to register that I changed this. And that seems like a dumb idea. -Steven ___ Cocoa-dev mailing list (Cocoa-dev@lists.apple.com) Please do not post admin requests or moderator comments to the list.

Re: Does initWithHTML:dataUsingEncoding:documentAttributes: run an event loop?
I'd strongly recommend a great tool from the DTCoreText github project - DTHTMLWriter and DTHTMLReader. It is designed to work with HTML documents and turn them into XML or like (he uses it for NSAttributedStrings). I've been using this project very heavily and it works extremely well. For example I use it to convert HTML to ENML for Evernote. It works with loads of poorly formatted HTML.

Setting Up a MVC most of it works BUT
So I've spent the past few hours reading and am now trying to set up a simple MVC. I constructed a few buttons and textfields in a Window in IB The View will instantiate when the Xib is loaded (so I've read anyway) I created a MyController based on NSObject in the Xib SO once the Xib is loaded MyController is instantiated. NSLOGs indicate this is so. I connected the UI elements to MyController. NOW as MyController inits I have it THEN instantiate myDataModel object. NSLOGs indicate myDataModel comes up. The UI elements in Window capture data correctly. The save button retrieves the data from the Window and MyController sends the data to myDataModel. NSLOGs indicate that is working as expected. All that appears to be working. BUT how does one send data from myDataModel to MyController. OR is that by request from MyController only? I tried to send MyController's ID during MyDataModel initialization. That works NSLOGs indicate MyDataModel receives MyController's ID. When I have MyController call a method in MyDataModel and attempt to call a method in MyController I get an error during compile ! No Visible @interface for NSObject I have MyDataModel do the [super init] initialization. At the moment I'm baffled - Any advise would be appreciated. Probably have taken the wrong tack - I tend to do that. YT ___ Cocoa-dev mailing list (Cocoa-dev@lists.apple.com) Please do not post admin requests or moderator comments to the list.

The interface is loaded after initialization, which is why it isn't available then. Instead, override the -awakeFromNib method and do the necessary stuff there. That is called after the interface is loaded, and is provided for this purpose. It is guaranteed to be called only once all of the interface is available. --Graham ___ Cocoa-dev mailing list (Cocoa-dev@lists.apple.com) Please do not post admin requests or moderator comments to the list.

Just to elaborate on my previous answer, there are several techniques that are commonly used to update an interface when something in the data model changes. These are, in order of complexity/understandability/history: a) the data model explicitly calls a method of the controller to tell it about a change. This isn't great, because it sets up a strong dependency between the data model classes and the controller class(es). a+) the data model declares an informal or formal protocol that some designated object (called a delegate, and this could be your controller) can implement. The data model calls these delegate methods for certain specific activities. This is really just a more elaborate form of a), which is why I call it a+, though with care it can be more generic and anonymous, and therefore can have better decoupling than a. b) the data model uses the notification center to notify changes, and the controller listens for these notifications. c) the controller uses key-value observing (KVO) to monitor property changes of the model directly. d) Bindings, which are built on KVO. Searching the documentation with these terms should yield the relevant information. --Graham ___ Cocoa-dev mailing list (Cocoa-dev@lists.apple.com) Please do not post admin requests or moderator comments to the list.

setFrame: weirdness in UITableViewCell
I'm trying to use a custom view which does only one thing: drawing the rect
defined by its bounds:
- (void)drawRect:(CGRect)rect
{
// Drawing code
UIBezierPath *path = [UIBezierPath bezierPathWithRoundedRect:self.bounds
byRoundingCorners:UIRectCornerAllCorners
cornerRadii:CGSizeMake(4.0f, 4.0f)];
[path setLineWidth:2.0f];
[[UIColor darkGrayColor] set];
[path stroke];
}
I have one instance added to a UITableViewCell in a storyboard and it works
about right half the time. The other half of the time, the rectangle drawn is
too high or too low:
The strange thing is that when I set the frame in my code using this custom
view, I print the frame right after I set it and I get this in the console:
2013-05-08 15:26:19.602 erodr[35723:c07] Post “Test post”:
locationBoxedView.frame origin: {233, 29}, size: {75, 19}
I partially override the setFrame: method in my custom view just to print the
new frame. This is what I do:
- (void)setFrame:(CGRect)frame
{
[super setFrame:frame];
NSLog(@Frame set to %@, NSStringFromCGRect(frame));
}
And this is what I get in the console:
2013-05-08 15:26:19.603 erodr[35723:c07] Frame set to {{108, 40}, {46, 22}}
2013-05-08 15:26:19.603 erodr[35723:c07] Frame set to {{233, 18}, {75, 19}}
I believe the first Frame set is called when a new instance of the tableview
cell is created from the storyboard. But how is the second setFrame: call ends
with setting the frame to 233, 18 when the calling code sets it to 233,29?

Writing a custom Spotlight Importer
Hello everybody, I've written a Spotlight Importer for my custom document format. The document has an UTI, used by the Spotlight Importer. Everything is fine, I can see my Metadata Fields correctly indexed by Spotlight, I can see the right importer loaded (it is bundled into the .app) when I run `mdimport -L`, except the Finder doesn't display the fields I've said it to display. Here is what the schema.xml file look like : ?xml version=1.0 encoding=UTF-8? schema version=1.0 xmlns=http://www.apple.com/metadata; xmlns:xsi=http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance; xsi:schemaLocation= http://www.apple.com/metadatafile:///System/Library/Frameworks/CoreServices.framework/Frameworks/Metadata.framework/Resources/MetadataSchema.xsd attributes attribute name=com_myDomain_myApp_myDocument_test multivalued=false type=CFString / /attributes types type name=com.myDomain.myapp.mydocument allattrs kMDItemTitle kMDItemAuthors kMDItemAlbum com_myDomain_myApp_myDocument_test /allattrs displayattrs kMDItemTitle kMDItemAuthors kMDItemAlbum com_myDomain_myApp_myDocument_test /displayattrs /type /types /schema I wasn't able to validate this file syntax (but it seems right), my system is lacking the `mdcheckschema` command, and I can't find it anywhere. Also I thought that fields appearing in the `displayattrs` would have been displayed by the Finder's Get Info pane. The `schema.xml` file appears at the right place into the mdimporter bundle. This is really annoying, since I use already defined fields, and only one custom field. Apple's documentation doesn't tell anything on this situation and I wasn't able to find an answer to my problem. Does anybody know what to do to have those informations displayed by the Finder's More Info section ? Maybe someone can provide useful tips ?

UIWebView IBOutlet is always nil
I have a UINavigationController-based app that I would like to use a
UIWebView to show an HTML page. My problem is that I declare my UIWebView
property as an IBOutlet, and it is always nil.
This is apparently a very common problem. Google turns up lots of queries
at StackOverflow. I read them all, but no joy.
I tried deleting my build folder, and my built app, but that didn't help.
My XIB file has a UIView with the UIWebView on top of it. Is that
correct? Or am I supposed to use a UIWindow?
The file's owner has the IBOutlet that references the UIWebView. I've
tried connecting the file's owner view IBOutlet both to the file-scoped
view, and to the UIWebView.
The file's owner is declared as a ManualViewControllerIOS in the Identity
inspected.
// ManualViewControllerIOS.h
#import UIKit/UIKit.h
@interface ManualViewControllerIOS : UIViewController {
}
@property (retain,nonatomic) IBOutlet UIWebView *webView;
@end
// ManualViewControllerIOS.m
#import ManualViewControllerIOS.h
@implementation ManualViewControllerIOS
@synthesize webView;
- (void) viewDidAppear: (BOOL) animated
{
[super viewDidAppear: animated];
NSString *manualIndex;
NSBundle *mainBundle = [NSBundle mainBundle];
manualIndex = [mainBundle pathForResource:
@index ofType: @html];
NSLog( @%@, webView );
[webView loadRequest:
[NSURLRequest requestWithURL:
[NSURL URLWithString: manualIndex]]];
}
@end
Here is how I push my view controller onto the UINavigationController stack:
- (IBAction) manual: (id) sender
{
ManualViewControllerIOS *manualViewController =
[[[ManualViewControllerIOS alloc] init] autorelease];
[self.navigationController pushViewController: manualViewController
animated: YES];
return;
}
My App is quite complex, so I'm writing an online manual. At first I was
loading it from my website, but that doesn't satisfy when the Internet is
out of reach. UIWebView would be the cat's meow if I could get it to work.
Thanks for any help you can give me,
Mike
