To check this, I made an extremely simplified version that only has an empty window with the disclosure button and nothing else. I switched off the window's content view's "autoresize subviews" option and enabled its CA layer backing option: http://www.entropy.ch/git/calayer-resize-test.git Even in this setup, the windows's contents (which consist only of the disclosure button) jump up and down during the animation. It seems enabling CA layer backing is really not an option. I tried the flipped content view, that didn’t help either. Its ridiculously painful isn't it? Indeed... Thanks for the MGViewAnimation hint, that looks promising and I’ll try using that instead... ___ Cocoa-dev mailing list (Cocoa-dev@lists.apple.com) Please do not post admin requests or moderator comments to the list.

Window Resize with Animator Proxy: Window Contents Jump Around
I am trying to resize a window with an animation using the NSAnimatablePropertyContainer animator proxy mechanism. The views have the "Wants CA Layer" option set in IB. I use this code: NSRect frame = window.frame; frame.size.height += delta; frame.origin.y -= delta; [[window animator] setFrame:frame display:YES]; The problem is that during the animation, the window contens jump down briefly when the window grows, and up when it shrinks. It does not do this when I do not reset the origin by commenting out this line: // frame.origin.y -= delta; But then the window grows upward which is not what I want. I made a screen video here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NARKujk2jrg It also works if I don’t enable the CA layer backing in IB, but I need that because I am going to fade a subview at the same time as I resize the window. Without CA layers I can only hide and show the subview with a hard transition, but I want to fade it. Is there something I should do differently or is this a known issue? ___ Cocoa-dev mailing list (Cocoa-dev@lists.apple.com) Please do not post admin requests or moderator comments to the list.

Re: Using non-id sender in IBAction methods

Yes, I am only talking about action methods that are pretty specific and that will not get connected to other types of senders. On 08.06.2009, at 03:34, Andy Lee wrote: I never thought of trying this before, but it seems that having a more narrowly defined sender also limits the kind of controls IB lets you connect *from*, at least in the Cocoa IB and presumably in the iPhone IB as well. Wow, this is neat, I never noticed that before because I always used "id" in the past... It does work the same in Cocoa Touch. That this functionality exists actually suggests to me that using a more specific sender type is legitimate. ___ Cocoa-dev mailing list (Cocoa-dev@lists.apple.com) Please do not post admin requests or moderator comments to the list.

Using non-id sender in IBAction methods
With the new dot notation I sometimes use explicit types in my IBAction methods: - (IBAction)doSomething:(UIButton *)button ... instead of - (IBAction)doSomething:(id)sender ... so I don't have to downcast "sender" to be able to use the dot notation. Do others do this too? Is this discouraged for some reason? ___ Cocoa-dev mailing list (Cocoa-dev@lists.apple.com) Please do not post admin requests or moderator comments to the list.

Re: dot notation doesn’t work as expected f or some library classes
Thanks Gwynne and Mike, that clears it up. I didn’t think about the missing -string method. When I remove the getter from my custom class it behaves the same and that was what I wanted to see. On 25.05.2009, at 00:21, Michael Ash wrote: And neither should you. Your use of the dot syntax here is incorrect, because 'string' is not a property of NSMutableString as the ObjC language defines (however vaguely) it. Absolutely, I only use the dot notation for accessors. I never used something like that in real code. I was only using it to figure out how the compiler does the transformation and I was looking specifically for a class that has a (void)setXXX: method that is not really a property accessor.

dot notation doesn’t work as expected for som e library classes
I was playing around a bit with the Obj-C 2.0 dot notation to clarify
some things for me. In my own classes getters and setters are called
as expected, but I noticed several times already that library classes
sometimes don’t allow the dot notation (that’s the reason why I’m
trying to clarify this in the first place).
I’m wondering why this example with NSMutableString does not compile:
#import
int main (int argc, const char * argv[]) {
NSAutoreleasePool * pool = [[NSAutoreleasePool alloc] init];
NSMutableString *xyz = [NSMutableString string];
xyz.string = @"foo";
[pool drain];
return 0;
}
This fails to build with the message "error: request for member
'string' in something not a structure or union". That message is
expected when there is no such accessor, but it does compile when I
replace the dot notation accessor with this:
[xyz setString:@"foo"];
This should be exactly the same. I can’t see how this could behave
like it does when the dot notation is simply syntactic sugar, as the
documentation states.

Custom Google Search Engine for Mac OS X Developers
I set up a Google Custom Search Engine covering Mac OS X development related sites a few weeks ago. Since then I've been testing and using it while working on my OS X programs, and I found it to be helpful in locating relevant information quickly. This article has the details, including a bookmarklet, LaunchBar search template etc.: http://bit.ly/macdev-info Let me know what you think, especially if you know other useful sites it should cover. _ Marc Liyanage http://www.entropy.ch ___ Cocoa-dev mailing list (Cocoa-dev@lists.apple.com) Please do not post admin requests or moderator comments to the list.
