Detecting in/activity
Hi all, I'd like to have an app/daemon/something detect when the computer becomes active after a period of inactivity, much like iChat does when it says Welcome back!

Synchronous modal sheet
I want to display a modal sheet, but my code isn't currently at the point where I can split it up. Is there a way to run a modal sheet synchronously, so the rest of the code after it starts isn't called until it ends? Or do I have no choice but to restructure this? ___ Cocoa-dev mailing list (Cocoa-dev@lists.apple.com) Please do not post admin requests or moderator comments to the list.

Re: Synchronous modal sheet
Yeah, I've worked with sheets before in different contexts. The problem with this one is that I want to display the sheet during the first iteration of a loop (in which I do a bit of work with other loops), and splitting it up will take some work. But unless there are any good alternatives to a sheet, I suppose I'll go for it.

If you have to have a sheet, you have no choice. But it's not that hard. Take the code that runs after the call, factor it into another method, then call that method from the - sheetDidEnd:returnCode:contextInfo: method. hth, Graham ___ Cocoa-dev mailing list (Cocoa-dev@lists.apple.com) Please do not post admin requests or moderator comments to the list.

Custom URL Handling
I want to implement a custom URL scheme (such that myscheme:whatever will open my app and somehow pass the URL as a parameter). I've been looking around for information on how to do that, and I'm getting mixed messages. The Info.plist documentation is very clear, and I've got the keys all set up the right way such that my app opens when a URL of my custom scheme is opened. However, I'm not sure how to find out what URL was opened. I see some implementations use -[NSAppleEventManager setEventHandler:andSelector:forEventClass:andEventID:]; with kInternetEventClass and kAEGetURL, and they implement a method (passed into the selector): - (void)handleURLEvent:(NSAppleEventDescriptor *)event withReplyEvent:(NSAppleEventDescriptor *)replyEvent. In other places, I see LSSetDefaultHandlerForURLScheme, and other LS* stuff. Another thing I've seen is adding a script suite and using performDefaultImplementation and [self directParameter] to get the URL. So, I need to know what the right way to do this is. I don't see any specific information about this in Apple's documentation.

Re: Custom URL Handling
It doesn't seem to make sense to use the script suite stuff to receive the URL event.. shouldn't it be used for scripting only? Or am I mistaken?

(...) Another thing I've seen is adding a script suite and using performDefaultImplementation and [self directParameter] to get the URL. When a URL is opened, an Apple Event of kInternetEventClass/ kAEGetURL is sent, containing the URL. If you want to handle the URL, you'll need to catch this somehow. Cocoa AppleScript support is fairly new (I think 10.2 or 10.3 or thereabouts). So, depending on what system version your app has as its minimal requirement, you'll either use NSAppleEventManager (which is the older class, AFAIK) or the script suite. Instead of performDefaultImplementation, I think you could also just create an NSScriptCommand or whatever the class was called. Whatever feels cleaner to you. ___ Cocoa-dev mailing list (Cocoa-dev@lists.apple.com) Please do not post admin requests or moderator comments to the list.

CSV parsing (large files)
I've got several large-size CSV files (a total of about 1.25 million lines, and an average of maybe 10 or so columns) that I want to parse into a 2D array. I found some parsing code that uses NSScanner, and it works fine with small files, but it's very resource-intensive and slow with large files. Should I try and optimize it more, or try using C instead of Objective-C for parsing, or what? The ultimate goal here is to convert the CSV files into a SQLite database. Should I even be doing it this way? Maybe just one row into the database at a time? I'd like to hear people's opinions.

IB view transitions, CA, NSWindow animation
For a bit of background, I've got a window, and I'll be swapping its content view's subview between some other views. One (and more in the future) of the other views has a subview with wants layer set so it can use some CALayer stuff for fading and such. Now, when I switch between views for the window, I want the window to resize, and a nice animated transition (like a cube). For resizing, the logical method is -[NSWindow setFrame:display:animate:]. This all works fine... until a descendant subview has a layer. Then I get a pause, and the window resizes without animating. If I remove the layer from the subview, the animation works. (The subview is a descendant of the view which I am *removing* from the window *before* changing the size. Why does it make a difference anyway?) For the animated transition, it appears that IB has a setting for some predefined transitions. I set the window's subviews transition to Rotating Cube... and yet, I don't get a rotating cube effect when removing a subview and adding another. If I use the content view's animator ([[window contentView] animator]) to add the subview, nothing seems to change... If I do the same, only addSubview:[newView animator] as well, it seems to try, but it doesn't work all that well. Can anyone give me some advice here? What am I doing that's ruining the NSWindow resize animation? How can I get the view transitions working?

Re: IB view transitions, CA, NSWindow animation
By one content view, do you mean a view inside the window's content view? It appears to do the same thing. The resizing animation works when it has a layer, but then again the same thing happens with the content view having a layer.

NSTextView + other NSView in NSScrollView?
I'm trying to create a Mail-style scroll view, with a view for information (like the view for message headers) above a text view for the content. I created two NSViews in Interface Builder, changed the class of the bottom one to NSTextView, selected both, and clicked Layout Embed Objects In Scroll View. This all works (it puts the views inside a scroll view), but the NSTextView doesn't play well with the scroll view when it increases in size, and when the scroll view changes size. When the text view increases in size, instead of just getting longer by a line, it gets longer and moves down, and the scroll view doesn't enable the scrollbar. If I shrink the scroll view by means of resizing the window (and I do have the autosizing set properly), the text view moves up erratically, and doesn't move back down when I increase the window size again. Everything works just fine when I create an NSTextView and embed it in a scroll view without another view alongside... because the NSTextView itself becomes the scroll view's document view. So... what's the right way to go about doing this? Should I even try to be putting 2 views in a scroll view for the effect I'm aiming for?

NSStatusItem custom view with menu
I'm making an NSStatusItem with a custom view. In drawRect:, it draws
things based on the value of the highlighted instance variable. When
mouseDown: is called, it pops up a menu using the status item's
popUpStatusItemMenu: method. Using the mouseUp: event does not work,
because it is not called after the menu goes away. This is the way
I've found that makes it work:
- (void)mouseDown:(NSEvent *)theEvent {
highlighted = YES;
[self setNeedsDisplay:YES];
[statusItem popUpStatusItemMenu:menu];
highlighted = NO;
[self setNeedsDisplay:YES];
[super mouseDown:theEvent];
}
Is this a good method, or is there something better that involves
mouseUp:?

Leopard-specific functionality in non–Leopard -only project
I'm working on a project (with another developer) that will target OSes older than 10.5, and I'd like to use the Leopard-only NSWindow method -setCollectionBehavior:. As far as I know, the best way to do this is to check for the method using -respondsToSelector:. I need to use the enum type NSWindowCollectionBehavior. When I try this, I get an error saying error: 'NSWindowCollectionBehaviorCanJoinAllSpaces' undeclared (first use in this function) and a warning warning: 'NSWindow' may not respond to '-setCollectionBehavior:'. This is because I'm using the 10.4 SDK... I've read in some places to set the Cross-develop using target SDK setting of the project to 10.5, but that setting is not available in the General tab of the project info.
