get a window in front by clicking on a menu item
hi! I have a problem, getting a window in front by clicking a menu item; In my xcode project I have a menuHandler, which has methods to create a menu, add items to that menu, delete items and so on. My AppController knows about the menuHandler and creates an instance of it in the awakeFromNib function. There it tells the menuHandler to create a menu and add items to that menu. One of that items has the title "open window x". The method that generates this item in the menuHandler refers to the function "showWindow" inside itself (setTarget:self). I have created a window in the Interface Builder and have connected it with an IBOutlet NSWindow variable in the MenuHandler. But the problem is, that the menu item does not do what it should do (invoke the window). I know that it gets called, when I click on the item "open window x". But all calls to the window are just ignored without a message in the log (like [myWindow makeKeyAndOrderFront:self]; [myWindow orderBack:self]; etc.) Can someone help me on this? I have also tried several options for the window in the IB ... no improvement ... ___ Cocoa-dev mailing list (Cocoa-dev@lists.apple.com) Please do not post admin requests or moderator comments to the list.

Re: get a window in front by clicking on a menu item
If you create your menuHandler in awakeFromNib, how can you connect it to the window in IB? It not there when you try to connect the outlet. You seem to connect to another / a wrong menuHandler instance. Yeah ... I think that is what is going wrong; what I know is, that the method (showWindow:) gets called (did make that sure by adding NSLog-messages) - but it does not interact with the window. but ... how would you do the connections to the window properly? Do I have to connect the window in the IB with the AppController? But than ... the MenuHandler don't know nothing about the window ... And how can I say the menuItem in menuHandler to use an existing instance of an AppController Object? (with setTarget: ...) .. I am pretty new to object-oriented programming. So I don't really know how you can say a menuItem; hey, there is an instance of an object that created you, and this also have connection to an existing window; now go to the openWindow method when someone clicks on you and get that damn window in front... (is that the way it should work ..?) Am 05.06.2009 um 20:54 schrieb Alexander Spohr: Ah, wait!

understanding problem; creation of instances of objects; xCode vs. Menu Builder
hi, I think I have a major understanding problem ... And I just don't know how to solve the problem. I have a methodfile X and a methodfile Y And I have a window that I have set up in the Interface Builder. The window is connected with the method Y. So, when the program starts, the window pops up and because of the window-creation - an instance of Y was created (right?). Now when I create an instance of Y inside of X - how can I get access to that created window? I have now two instances of Y; the one where my window "is in" - made by the interface builder. And the one made inside the methodfile X ... but how can I get acces to the instance of Y (where the window is defined) inside of X? I don't know if I am thinking in the right way. It would be great if someone here could give me a hint to get back on the right path ... ___ Cocoa-dev mailing list (Cocoa-dev@lists.apple.com) Please do not post admin requests or moderator comments to the list.

Re: get a window in front by clicking on a menu item
[menuItem setTarget:myWindowOutlet];
[menuItem setAction:@selector(makeKeyAndOrderFront:)];
ok, that makes sense to me.
But now, the menuItem is inactive (so I cant click on it).
here my code;
hope someone can give me a clue what is wrong with the code...
AppController.h
#import "MenuHandler.h"
@implementation AppController
MenuHandler *menuCreate;
- (void) awakeFromNib {
menuCreate = [[MenuHandler alloc] init];
[menuCreate setIcon];
[menuCreate initItems];
return self;
}
And that happens when initItems get called;
MenuHandler.m
- (void) initOtherItems
{
// Edit-List-Button
//NSMenuItem *newItem;
newItem = [[NSMenuItem alloc] init];
[newItem initWithTitle:@"Preferences"
action:@selector(makeKeyAndOrderFront:)
keyEquivalent:@""];
[menu addItem:newItem];
[newItem setEnabled:YES];
[newItem setTarget:prefs];
[menu addItem:[NSMenuItem separatorItem]];
}
and prefs is defined in MenuHandler.m, and connected with the window
made in IB;
MenuHandler.h
@interface MenuHandler : NSObject {
NSMenu *menu;
NSMenuItem *newItem;
IBOutlet NSWindow *prefs;
}
- (void) initOtherItems;

NSArray vs. NSMutableArray ... "distinct objective-c type"

NSTabView; How to get the current / active tab ..?
hi,
I have an IBOutlet defined in my header;
IBOutlet NSTabView *tabView;
This Outlet is connected with a TabView generated with Interface
Builder.
The TabView has two tabs,
and in my implementation file I want to do something when tab1 is
active and something else when tab2 is active.
I tried the following;
NSTabViewItem *tabViewItemX;
tabViewItemX = [tabView selectedTabViewItem];
if([tabViewItemX isEqualTo:[tabView tabViewItemAtIndex:0]]){
NSLog(@"1");
} else{
NSLog(@"2");
}
But it doesn't work properly. It is just always "2".
What do I wrong?
thanks!

How to get a NSButton (check box) state
Hi,
I have added a NSButton Check Box to a window.
Now I want to grab the state of this check box.
I added an IBOutlet to my header file and connected it with the check
box in Interface Builder;
IBOutlet NSButton *launchOption;
Now I want to test the state via;
if([launchOption state] == 0) { NSLog(@"A"); }
else if([launchOption state] == 1) {NSLog(@"B"); }
The answer of this if / else statement is always A and I don't
understand why.
Can someone help me?

Re: How to get a NSButton (check box) state
Use [launchOption state] == NSOnState or [launchOption state] ==
NSOffState
I have tried this before,
but that does not change the behavior.
I have checked the connection in IB again ... but that seems also ok.
Is there another mistake that can be made concerning the issue ...?

Re: How to get a NSButton (check box) state
You are right ... there is something wrong with the connection.
What I have done is the following;
IBOutlet NSButton *launchOption;
I have connected this Outlet with the NSButton by ctrl+dragging from
the NSObject to the CheckBox in the window.
Then I control+dragged from the NSButton to the NSObject and connected
a method to the NSButton / check box (which works fine)...
Is there something fundamentally wrong ...?

wrong with the connection that you can't tell by looking.

Re: How to get a NSButton (check box) state
in that case, you should use [sender state]

Thanks!
That did it!
But what do I have to do if I want to set the state in the awakeFromNib?
I tried:
[launchOption setState:NSOnState];
[launchOption setState:1];
But the Button stays on "Off" state (like in Interface Builder set)...

I have the following AppleScript that let me add an application to the

tell application "System Events"
make login item at end with properties {path:"...", kind:application}
end tell
The script works fine when I start it in the script editor for
AppleScripts.
But when I implement it in my cocoa app, the code is executed properly
(when I copy the code that is created out of the log window and start
it in the script editor it works) - but the app don't appear in the
"launch on startup" menu under preferences -> users ...
Does my app have the propper rights to do that?
Is that the problem?
thanks for any help!

Re: no scroll bars (NSTableView)
ok, I think now I can describe my problem with a little more detail; I have a table view which has only one column. Now when the user resizes this column expanding it to the right, the horizontal scroll bar appears and everything is fine. But I want to size the column, depending on the entries. So that the user doesn't have to do the resizing manually- How can I say the app; look at how many characters the entries have, and then expand the column-width so that horizontal scroll bars appear, and the user is able to read whole entries by using the horizontal scroll bar. thanks for any hints!

Re: App does not start on a different machine
well, I am pretty unexperienced and new to writing programs on the mac. the app just creates two text files on start in a subfolder of the "application support" folder in the library folder of the user. Then it reads and writes stuff in there. There are no external / exotic libraries. It is really a pretty simple program and it is compiled in 32bit universal (as seen in the project infos). I haven't changed anything in the compile settings, have the latest XCode version and the console does not say anything. And it is a release version I tried on the other macBook. ZeroLinker is off, when I change the build configuration to "Release", right? So I am pretty helpless with that issue, having no real experience with building programs on the mac. And as I said, the program works fine on my machine ...

You didn't provide a whole lot of information for us to go on, but just from the info you provided, the only things I could think of are external library dependencies, or user permission to run the application, or are you malloc'ing a huge amount of RAM on one machine that you don't have on the other machine ? As another tip, I've had good luck debugging stuff by opening up OS X's terminal, and from the command line of the terminal, running the binary of the application itself from terminal's command line; something akin to: $ cd YourApp.app/Contents/MacOS/ $ ./YourApp This will output debugging info from fprintf's or NSLog's in your code to the terminal command line. IIRC, this is equivalent to running the program from XCode's "Build and Run" option, where you get a logging terminal. So if nothing shows up there, I am not sure how useful this tip is.

If it was a dyld error, then it will be logged to the system console, and it often provides critical clues when an app isn't launching.

program crashes because of a variable declaration
Hi,
my program crashes if I add a variable declaration to a header file.
I really don't understand what the hell is wrong with it;
The programm works fine with this lines;
@interface AppleScriptHandler : NSObject {
NSDictionary *errorInfo;
NSString *appFolder, *filePathFinderFiles;
}
But it crashes on startup when I add something like;
@interface AppleScriptHandler : NSObject {
NSDictionary *errorInfo;
NSArray *test;
NSString *appFolder, *filePathFinderFiles;
}
... or this;
@interface AppleScriptHandler : NSObject {
NSString *xxx;
NSDictionary *errorInfo;
NSString *appFolder, *filePathFinderFiles;
}
I don't change anything but this line ...

Re: program crashes because of a variable declaration
ok, I am sorry.
It's rare that an app crashes silently. Is anything printed to the
console? Do you have a crash log? If you run the app in the
debugger, what line of code does it crash on?
Also, are there any compiler warnings that you are ignoring?
There are no compiler warnings in the code.
this is printed in the debugger console;

Is this the same problem as your earlier post? It seems like maybe
you're trying to do stuff with NSObjects before the runtime is
initialised properly. Obviously it's not adding the extra ivar
that's causing the problem, but some other problem that this
exposes. What objects are you creating when? Are you doing anything
in main()? Generally your app shouldn't start to do any processing
until the app delegate gets the green light in the form of -
applicationWillFinishLaunching: or similar.
It is pretty strange to me.
I changed something in another file that has nothing to do with the
file that I am having problems with and now it works ...
Does anyone know how this could be?
Try also enabling NSZombieEnabled, as it sounds like you may have a
memory management problem (over-release most likely).
So I release more stuff than I should be?
But wouldn't that lead to more obvious wrong behavior, as the app
don't have the information it needs at some point ..?

These are the very first things you should look at when you're
debugging, and if you're still stumped, this is the kind of
information that would help us help you. When you post a question,
try to include relevant information.
