Re: Questions about NSPopupButtonCell and NSBrowser
In case anyone else is struggling with popup button cells like I was, I did finally get this to work - though the solution looks a bit strange it definitely seems to be giving me the behavior I wanted. Short version: there are two entities defined (Core Data) and there is a one-to-many relationship between them: for sake of explanation, lets call them "Folder" and "File" - where each "File" is in one "Folder" but there can be multiple files in a folder. A third entity had a reference to Files, and I wanted an NSTableView to list the records of that third entity, call it "X", but I wanted two popup button cells for selecting the Files - one to choose a Folder, and the other listing the Files inside of it. The way I finally got this working: In the custom subclass of NSManagedObject for entity "X", I implemented "folder" and "setFolder" methods; "folder" returns the "folder" of the "File" that is referenced by "X", and "setFolder" effectively picks an arbitrary "File" from the indicated "Folder" and sets "X" to point there. In the custom subclass of NSManagedObject for entity "Folder", I implemented "arrangedFiles", which returns a sorted NSArray of the files in the folder (the actual relationship returns an NSSet and I needed an NSArray - plus I wanted it sorted a specific way). In the XIB file, I have an NSArrayController for the set of all Folder records - call it "Folders" - and another one for the set of records in X - call it "Xrecs" (I am making up these names). The File and Folder entities both have "name" attributes for display. My bindings for the NSPopupButtonCells are: For the Folders one: Content - Folders.arrangedObjects Content Values - Folders.arrangedObjects.name Selected Object - Xrecs.arrangedObjects.folder For the Files one: Content - Xrecs.arrangedObjects.folder.arrangedFiles Content Values - Xrecs.arrangedObjects.folder.arrangedFiles.name Selected Object - Xrecs.arrangedObjects.file It seems a bit weird to me to specify a record attribute of an array (arrangedFiles.name), but it occurred to me that this was how the other ones look with arrangedObjects, so I gave it a try and it seems to work just fine. Hope someone finds this helpful. ___ Cocoa-dev mailing list (Cocoa-dev@lists.apple.com) Please do not post admin requests or moderator comments to the list.

In IB, in -awakeFromNib, in -windowDidLoad: (in a window controller), etc? Anywhere but in the drawing pathway. I’m not sure whether bindings only makes single connection per binding even if called multiple times, or whether it adds a new one each time, but in the drawing pathway, it’s going to be called many times. If it makes a new binding each time, you could end up with hundreds of redundant KVO notifications when the property changes, with the app gradually getting slower and slower. > In the future, I will be expanding the use of the "icon" to show it in places > besides the browser - I am considering the "icon" to be a calculated part of > the data model, with the "image" being part of one view which I expect to > later be many views against the same object, so trying to update from within > the source object isn't going to work unless I reinvent the wheel and > basically recreate the bindings or some other notification mechanism. It’s perfectly reasonable that the ‘icon’ property is part of your data model, and that any number of views are bound to it. I’m not suggesting you update from within the source at all. I’m suggesting that you provide a method in the relevant controller that will update your browser cell and the right part of the view and bind that to the icon property. It doesn’t change the way the icon property works or how it gets its new data. > The update of the icon is based on any of several properties of the source > object changing dynamically, sometimes by the user, and sometimes from a > method triggered an NSTimer (I am conditionally animating some of these > properties), and since the set of views against the object is likely to > change periodically while the application is running (and quite possibly in > the middle of those animations), with some views potentially changing which > objects they represent, I was hoping to avoid having to stoop to that level > (and didn't expect that I would need to) - but I will if that is what it > takes. Not sure why this is a problem. All I’m suggesting is that a suitable method of the browser’s controller is bound to the icon. It doesn’t stop you binding other things to the same icon. > I still need a pointer of some kind with the NSPopupButtonCell question. > Can’t help you with that one - cells are gnarly, pop-up button cells doubly so. —Graham ___ Cocoa-dev mailing list (Cocoa-dev@lists.apple.com) Please do not post admin requests or moderator comments to the list.

If you have the source object (c) and the cell that is to display the image

[cell setImage:[c icon]];
The binding might help when the “icon” property changes, but setting up the

outside of the drawing pathway, but since cells are annoying things, just
binding the cell’s image to the icon property won’t work - the cell won’t

Cells generally don’t update their host views on a change, because they’re
designed to be reusable in a lot of different circumstances - the view uses the
cell to draw some content, but the cell is unaware of which view it belongs to
so there isn’t a general way for a cell to update its host view. It’s also
undesirable, because many classes such as NSTableView and NSBrowser set up the
cell’s state (properties) on the fly just before the cell is drawn, so if the
cell dirtied the view when that happened you’d get an infinite redraw cycle.
So what you need to do is to have a property or method on your browser
controller that sets the relevant cell’s image property AND refreshes the
correct part of the view, then bind that controller method to the object’s icon
property.

P.S. Cells in general are deprecated, so getting away from code that requires
them is the way of the future.
If I don't bind from there, I'm not sure where else to do it from?
Originally I was just doing a setImage: method call there, but I changed
it to a bind to fix the first issue I listed earlier (this is why it
updates more readily now when I keep it up).
In the future, I will be expanding the use of the "icon" to show it in
places besides the browser - I am considering the "icon" to be a
calculated part of the data model, with the "image" being part of one
view which I expect to later be many views against the same object, so
trying to update from within the source object isn't going to work
unless I reinvent the wheel and basically recreate the bindings or some
other notification mechanism.
The update of the icon is based on any of several properties of the
source object changing dynamically, sometimes by the user, and sometimes
from a method triggered an NSTimer (I am conditionally animating some of
these properties), and since the set of views against the object is
likely to change periodically while the application is running (and
quite possibly in the middle of those animations), with some views
potentially changing which objects they represent, I was hoping to avoid
having to stoop to that level (and didn't expect that I would need to) -
but I will if that is what it takes.
I'll work with that a bit more.
I still need a pointer of some kind with the NSPopupButtonCell question.

Sounds very doubtful.
[self controlView] is probably unreliable in your cell - you might want to
check it. But even if it’s correct (being the NSMatrix for the browser column)

work).
Note that NSBrowser, unlike a NSTableView, allocates one cell per row within a
NSMatrix - it does not reuse and redisplay a single cell.

My method isn't even being called at that point, so it never gets that far.
Which method? Unfortunately the problem isn’t very clearly stated, so I don’t
know if it’s the view refresh that you're having trouble with (as I supposed)
or some other meaning of “refresh” that you’re applying.
—Graham
- (void)browser:(NSBrowser *)browser willDisplayCell:(MyBrowserCell
*)cell atRow:(NSInteger)row column:(NSInteger)column
{
// Find the item and set the image.
WhateverObject *c = [browser itemAtRow:row inColumn:column];
*[cell bind:@"image" toObject:c withKeyPath:@"icon" options:nil];*
}
- (void)setIcon:(NSImage *)icon
{
// this is for the benefit of bindings - it doesn't actually do
anything itself
// it tricks the bindings mechanism into updating the icons in the
browser, etc.
NSLog(@"setIcon called");
}
- (void)setImage:(NSImage *)newImage
{
NSLog(@"setImage called");
img = newImage;
[[self controlView] setNeedsDisplay:YES];
}
When I switch to a different row in the first row, then switch back,
even though the "icon" property is changing (my "setIcon called" text
appears), the "setImage called" text never appears, meaning that my
setImage method is not being called.
Once I select a row within the second column, it starts being called again.
I did notice that "setImage" is actually being called temporarily if I
switch to another window, or switch back - but it only does so
momentarily then it stops again.

Re: Questions about NSPopupButtonCell and NSBrowser
After all of this, I finally at least partially solved this one.
I added a line of code to run each time that method is called.
It wasn't being called most of the time. I found where I was calling
this and changed the code a bit to use a binding created by code, and
now it is almost working.
The images are in the second column of the browser (these columns are
actually the same A and B as the NSPopupButtonCell question I still am
trying to figure out - the first column shows A, and second column shows
the B's for that A).
If I arrange for one of them to start changing while I have a particular
A selected, it works as long as I keep that A selected. When I switch to
a different A then switch back while it should still be changing, it is
"frozen" - the image appears from wherever it was when I switched away,
and my setImage method is not being called. When I select a B within
that A, it starts being called again.
I am wondering if the browser is actually caching an image of the cells
in the second column when I switch away, then just displaying that
without actually recreating the cells in the second column until it
needs one of them for something? That might explain the behavior I am
seeing, and may be a sensible optimization in most cases, but in this
instance it is not very helpful for my particular application.

Questions about NSPopupButtonCell and NSBrowser
I have two questions I'm hoping I can get some advice on... First the complicated one: I have an NSTableView (cell-based) in which I am trying to rig two columns with NSPopupButtonCell - the selection in the first one determines the possible values of the second. This is part of a document-based core data setup; the data model has three entities that are relevant to this activity; for my purposes here I will call the first two A and B. There is a one-to-many relationship from A to B, such that an A has - let's call them "kids", and the reverse would be the "parent" of a B. Every B is tied to an A; an A will usually have one or more B's. The individual rows in the NSTableView are members of another entity, which I herein call E, which has a many-to-one relationship to a B (any given E has exactly one B tied to it, call it the "b" of E; but several E's can be tied to the same B). I created a custom NSManagedObject subclass which implements a method, call it "a", which returns "b.parent" - the A of the B that the E is connected to. Attempt at a picture: A -> B <- E | -> B | -> B <-- E |- E The first NSPopupButtonCell should have a list of all of the A's and let me pick one - that much I have working using bindings: Content: aController.arrangedObjects Content Values: aController.arrangedObjects.name Selected Object: eController.arrangedObjects.a Now I'm trying to figure out how to set up the second NSPopupButtonCell to list all of the B's whose parent is A (so, a.kids) with the "b" of E being the selected one. I can't very well use another NSArrayController to do this (at least not via IB?) since the list may be different for each row of the table. I'm a bit confused on how to rig this one and I'm not finding any clear documentation to help with this. Does anyone have any suggestions on how to make this work? I don't want to just list all of the B's since there could be thousands of them and it would be WAY too much to navigate through without narrowing it down first (thus the first popup list...) Now what I am hoping is the simpler one: I have a custom subclass of NSTextFieldCell which I am using to show an icon in an NSBrowser. The icon image is being generated dynamically by a method in my subclass and I want it to change more or less in "real time" as a bound value changes. I have that almost working, but the one problem is that it doesn't refresh when I need it to. Is there some way I can "force" a browser cell to redraw its image, short of redrawing the entire browser or window? The text isn't changing, just the icon, but I'd settle for redrawing the cell...

Re: NSBrowser Frustration
Now I feel stupid. For efficiency, my code was caching the values for the second column, but I never cleared that cache before trying to refresh that column. The browser was refreshing the (now incorrect) cached values - clearing my cache out so that it was rebuilt fixed my issue. Sorry for any confusion! On 3/7/2015 12:39, Frank D.

The only thing that comes close to doing what I want is to have it select a different item in the first column (selectRow:0 inColumn:0), which leaves it on the "wrong" item in the first column - when I then manually select the desired column, it does correctly reload. What am I missing - how can I get it to just do the sensible thing and refresh the data in the second column? This is getting frustrating, and I'm sure I must be missing something simple...?

Well, it's not directly associated with cells, per se, but you can use -[NSView addToolTipRect:owner:userData:] to add a tooltip rect covering the whole browser view (and update it when its bounds change). Set the owner to an object which implements the NSToolTipOwner informal protocol – i.e. the -view:stringForToolTip:point:userData: method. In that method, you can translate from the point to a row and column and return an appropriate string.

NSBrowser tooltips
I am using an NSBrowser to display items and my code is based on the ComplexBrowser sample from Apple. This uses browser features introduced in 10.6 and does not implement a NSMatrix to display columns. The only support I see for implementing tooltips is browser:shouldShowCellExpansionForRow:column: which does not allow for a custom tooltip, only the display of the entire cell contents if the cell contents doesn't fit in the column. Is there some way of implementing custom tooltips for any cell in the browser?

Re: NSBrowser editItemAtIndexPath:withEvent:select:
None of the suggestions panned out. The setting of the allowsBranchSelection
had no effect on being able to edit the first row entry programmatically and
neither did the isLeaf value. The other relevant values are:
isEditable = 1 indexPath = 1 indexes [13]
and those look good to me. Any other ideas?

Have you inspected the index path to make sure it is the expected value? In
either case it may not be an issue of "first" column but whether the item is a
"branch" or a "leaf". What is the value of allowsBranchSelection ? Does setting
it to YES change anything? Additionally, this difference may mean more in the
first column than in subsequent columns. Putting a leaf node in the first
column and selecting it may reveal something.

Re: NSBrowser editItemAtIndexPath:withEvent:select:
If the problem is with the index path, you could get selectedRowInColumn:0
and construct your own index path with the returned value.

NSBrowser editItemAtIndexPath:withEvent:select:
I am trying to use editItemAtIndexPath:withEvent:select: in my program to
programatically start editing the text in my cell. It works for all items
except those in the first column. As an experiment I added code to the Apple
sample ComplexBrowser and the same thing happened. Is this a bug, by design, or
are there extra hoops to jump through to get this to work in the first column?
The cells in the first column CAN be edited via clicking in the text of a
selected cell.
ComplexBrowser changes:
Add to appController.m
- (void)awakeFromNib {
...
[_browser setAction:@selector(_browserClicked:)]; // add to end of
awakeFromNib
}
- (void)_browserClicked:(id)sender
{
FileSystemBrowserCell *cell = [_browser selectedCell];
[cell setEditable:YES];
NSIndexPath *path = [_browser selectionIndexPath];
[_browser editItemAtIndexPath:path withEvent:nil select:YES];
}
- (BOOL)browser:(NSBrowser *)myBrowser shouldEditItem:(id)item
{
return YES;
}
Selecting any cell in the browser should put it into edit mode. Only works for
items in columns other than the first one.

NSBrowser fills NSPasteboard but won't drop
I have an NSBroswer with a series of entries that look up a text blob. If the blob exists then: - (BOOL)browser:canDragRowsWithIndexes:inColumn:withEvent: returns YES. This invokes - (BOOL)browser:writeRowsWithIndexes:inColumn:toPasteboard: In here I do the following: NSUInteger changeCount; BOOL retBOOL = YES; changeCount = [pasteboard clearContents]; changeCount = [pasteboard declareTypes:@[NSPasteboardTypeString, NSPasteboardTypeHTML] owner:self]; didSet = [pasteboard setString:self.currentHTMLCode forType:NSPasteboardTypeString]; retBOOL = retBOOL & didSet; didSet = [pasteboard setString:[NSString stringWithFormat:@"%@", self.currentHTMLCode] forType:NSPasteboardTypeHTML]; retBOOL = retBOOL & didSet; Now the data analysis of the pasteboard coming out (with retBOOL: Yes) is: pasteboard: : name: : Apple CFPasteboard drag change count: : 77 types: : ( "public.utf8-plain-text", NSStringPboardType, "public.html", "Apple HTML pasteboard type" ) items: : ( "" ) PBItem: : PBType: : public.utf8-plain-text String for type [public.utf8-plain-text] = 89958 characters PBType: : public.html String for type [public.html] = 89969 characters retValue: YES So my problem is that when I drag this to SimpleText or BBEdit, nothing drops. I don't see a highlight of the target document. (Note: I also have a drag image routine, and I see the drag image) Any ideas why I seem to be populating the pasteboard but it refuses to drop in the other app?

The solution is very surprising. I had always called -[NSBrowser setTitled:], setting it to YES in my window controller's -awakeFromNib method. This does have the expected effect of showing column titles initially -- but they disappear when the browser is scrolled horizontally, although the rect where they initially appeared is still there above the browser. The solution is to set the "Titled" checkbox in Interface Builder instead of calling -setTitled: in -awakeFromNib. Surely this is a bug in NSBrowser, and it must have been around since Jaguar or earlier. I also notice that setting "Titled" in Interface Builder causes "Separators" to be checked when you close the Interface Builder editor and then reopen it. It isn't nice to have Interface Builder automatically changing settings behind my back like this. Also, if I call -setSeparatesColumns: along with -setTitled in -awakeFromNib instead of using Interface Builder, the column titles still don't work right.

NSBrowser column titles disappear when scrolled
Long ago, I found that NSBrowser column titles disappear when the user manually scrolls the browser horizontally, or clicks a cell that forces the browser to scroll horizontally to show the children of the new selection in the next column. Manually resizing the window or any column causes them to reappear immediately. (This is with the browser set so that each column takes its title from the previous column's selection, and the user is allowed to resize columns.) This seems like it must be a bug in NSBrowser. For many years, I cured the problem by implementing the -browserDidScroll: delegate method and calling -setNeedsDisplayInRect: on the title frame of the last column. That fix no longer works in Lion, and I can't find any other way to fix it. Do others see this problem?

You don't get to this point, so it's not the problem you have now, but I assume

I hadn't put a call to [super ...] yet as I wanted to verify that my
initWithFrame: was being called. Once I get this problem worked out, I
will call [super ...].
This is in the implementation of the class that controls the window the
browser is in:
- (void)awakeFromNib {
[browser setMatrixClass:[SpecialMatrix class]];
[browser loadColumnZero];
NSMatrix *matrix = [storyLine matrixInColumn:0]; //<- return nil
matrix = [storyLine matrixInColumn:1]; //<- returns nil
}
First step: Break in -awakeFromNib and verify that browser is not nil.
I've tested this and it's not nil. browser is an outlet I created and
connected with IB. The NSBrowser works for adding items to all of the
columns and I check to make sure that SpecialMatrix is set to be the
matrix class in browser after the call to setMatrixClass:
Second step: Maybe an NSBrowser doesn't instantiate any matrices until you have
responded to browser:numberOfRowsInColumn: with a non-zero value?
— F
That's possible, but I've tested adding items to the columns and
SpecialMatrix's initWith...: doesn't get called.
I do want to point out that I'm implementing
browser:numberOfChildrenOfItem: not browser:numberOfRowsInColumn, does
that make a difference?
Thanks!

Yes. The first returns the number of rows in column n+1, given an item in column n.

NSBrowser matrix
Hello all,
I'm trying to set the matrix class for an NSBrowser I have in a window.
I have the following in my .h file:
@interface SpecialMatrix : NSMatrix {
}
//- (id)initWithFrame:(NSRect)frameRect mode:(NSMatrixMode)aMode
prototype:(NSCell *)aCell numberOfRows:(NSInteger)numRows
numberOfColumns:(NSInteger)numColumns;
@end
And this is in the .m:
@implementation SpecialMatrix
- (id)initWithFrame:(NSRect)frameRect mode:(NSMatrixMode)aMode
prototype:(NSCell *)aCell numberOfRows:(NSInteger)numRows
numberOfColumns:(NSInteger)numColumns {
int x;
x = 0; // I put a breakpoint here
return self;
}
@end
This is in the implementation of the class that controls the window the
browser is in:
- (void)awakeFromNib {
[browser setMatrixClass:[SpecialMatrix class]];
[browser loadColumnZero];
NSMatrix *matrix = [storyLine matrixInColumn:0]; // <- return nil
matrix = [storyLine matrixInColumn:1]; // <- returns nil
}
From the documentation,
initWithFrame:mode:prototype:numberOfRos:numberOfColumns is the
designated method but it's never called even when I called
loadColumnZero. Both calls to matrixInColumn: return nil. Can someone
tell me what I'm doing wrong?
Thanks!

Re: Dragging from an NSBrowser to an NSTableView
HI Mike,
we have implemented the following delegate methods in our class for the Table
view and the respective counter parts for NSBrowser have also been added. I
tested by placing break points on these two methods but still was not able to
see them getting hit when the drag and drop was performed.
- (NSDragOperation)tableView:(NSTableView*)aTableView validateDrop:(id
)info proposedRow:(int)row
proposedDropOperation:(NSTableViewDropOperation)op
{
}
- (BOOL)tableView:(NSTableView*)aTableView acceptDrop:(id )info
row:(int)dropRow dropOperation:(NSTableViewDropOperation)op
{
}
PS: The dragTypes for both the browser as well as NSTableView have been set to
NSStringPasteboardType
Please let me know if we are missing something. As of now it would be great if
the control would just flow into these methods.
Thanks in Advance
Sandeep.

NSBrowser drawing glitch
Hi! NSBrowser leaves an annoying 2-pixel gap between the right edge of a highlighted browser cell and the vertical column slider. Picture: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/86388/NSBrowserDrawingGlitch.png It does go away when the column width is changed live by the user, but reappears when the cell is redrawn. It's not there when the browser shows separators (setSeparateColumns:YES). I am using a regular NSBrowser, pulled from the IB palette, without any fancy stuff done to it. Any ideas why that is?

-[NSBrowser setReusesColumns:] broken?
Greetings, I'm trying to implement an NSBrowser view using the legacy (10.5) compatible delegate methods (i.e. not the 10.6 "item data source" methods). I'd very much like to use the reusesColumns property to recycle my, rather complex, NSMatrix subclasses. However this property appears to broken. I'm currently developing and testing under 10.6. The first time my delegate receives -browser:createRowsForColumn:inMatrix:, the matrix parameter is correct and the column gets populated with data. When I select another item in the first column, my delegate receives -browser:createRowsForColumn:inMatrix: again, but this time the matrix value is nil. This makes no sense. Sending the NSBrowser object -matrixInColumn: also returns nil. Is this just broken? TIA P.S. I'd love to use the new 10.6 browser API, but it seems that the new code doesn't use NSMatrix objects for each column; instead using some kind of custom view that doesn't appear to be customizable. Is that also correct? -- James Bucanek ___ Cocoa-dev mailing list (Cocoa-dev@lists.apple.com) Please do not post admin requests or moderator comments to the list.

Re: NSBrowser dragging
Dear Corbin, Thanks for responding, however I must contradict you, vertical drag with ComplexBrower does work under 10.6. It does so because its cell is an NSTextfieldCell which inherits from NSActionCell. "Since NSBrowserCell does not inherit from NSActionCell, it doesn’t hold a target and action value and can’t directly participate in the target/action paradigm" quoted from your documentation "Introduction to Browsers" (Last updated: 2004-08-31). I believe that is why it doesn't work. Since I want my software to be 10.5 compatible, it looks like I'm out of luck. Setting the cellClass to NSTextFieldCell does nothing, the NSBrowser under 10.5 still creates NSBrowserCells. ComplexBrower uses 10.6 delegates methods and manages to set the cell class to text field cell. If anyone has any solution it would be great.

NSTableView has a flag that specifies whether vertical mouse-down movement selects or drags. I don’t see a similar flag on NSBrowser, though.

NSBrowser dragging
Hi everyone, I've ran out of ideas, I just don't now what's wrong. I have an NSBrowser Object. I've set the delegate to another class which implements: - (BOOL)browser:(NSBrowser *)browser canDragRowsWithIndexes:(NSIndexSet *)rowIndexes inColumn:(NSInteger)column withEvent:(NSEvent *)event If I click-drag in the browser either right or left, the method is called. But if I click-drag up or down, it isn't. All that happens is the cells get selected. I've compared with the Apple example "ComplexBrowser", and i just cannot see any difference. I'm lost here, any help appreciated. Michael ___ Cocoa-dev mailing list (Cocoa-dev@lists.apple.com) Please do not post admin requests or moderator comments to the list.

Re: NSTreeController, NSBrowser image setting
I've determined that what I want to do is not possible with using a
NSTreeController and a NSBrowser. As I stated below, the willDisplayCell
doesn't have the correct parameters to determine the represented object.
Notice the cousin to NSBrowser, NSOutlineView, delegate willDisplayCell has the
parameter, (id) item.
- (void)outlineView:(NSOutlineView *)outlineView willDisplayCell:(id)cell
forTableColumn:(NSTableColumn *)tableColumn item:(id)item
I've modified my app using the outline view, added the necessary support for
the NSOutlineView tableview' cell to support icons and I am able to set images
for each item.
I will file a bug. If someone feels different, please let me know.
Thanks,
-tony

NSTreeController, NSBrowser image setting
I'm using a NSTreeController and bindings to contain the data for a NSBrowser. Data from my objects is being displayed fine. I want to add an image to the entries in the browser. From what I gather, I need to implement the willDisplayCell delegate method. The question I have is how do I get MY object stored for the node being displayed. The documents state you cannot use the itemAt* methods if you did not use a data source, which I didn't. I did find on the Internet someone else who had a similar problem and the solution they found was call this method [item representedObject]. It's not clear what the receiver 'item' is. In addition, neither samples ComplexBrowser nor SimpleBrowser use a treecontroller. Note I am not using core data, my object is my own structure.

The issue is that the browser was incorrectly refusing first responder status if it had 0 columns. So, setting it up in IB it had non when unarchived...hence the problem. Alternatively, another solution: subclass NSBrowser and return YES from: - (BOOL)acceptsFirstResponder I double checked; we fixed this in 10.6 (for apps linked on 10.6+).

Re: NSBrowser and tab order
Yup you got it. I actually tracked down an Apple doc in regards to that last evening. I did go ahead and set it up correctly in awakeFromNib as follows: // DUE to NSBrowser bug in regards to its implementation // of acceptsFirstResponder, forcibly load it and then // make it the first responder [ midiInBrowser loadColumnZero ]; [ [ selfwindow ] makeFirstResponder: midiInBrowser ]; I did have a bit of a research project in that setInitialResponder did not result in desired behavior but makeFirstResponder did. From the little bit I could glean from setInitialResponder it seems like this call merely "caches" an NSResponder to be set via makeFirstResponder at a later date. Given that, I can only assume that within awakeFromNib, I'd passed the "later date" where setInitialResponder could "cache" usefully. Always a learning experience. :) Cheers, --aj From: Corbin Dunn To: Andrew James Cc: list-cocoa-dev Sent: Thu, March 18, 2010 7:40:06 AM Subject: Re: NSBrowser and tab order Aj -- I believe this was a bug fixed in 10.6; maybe 10.5.

There is no hard and fast rule that I know of--that is Cocoa-specific. I would assert that as a general rule if you rely on a behavior, then you should always explicitly set it. It disambiguates your code and is future proof in case Apple decides to change the documented default. You may also want to file a bug against the doc. HTH, Keary Suska Esoteritech, Inc.

NSBrowser + Core Data Woes
I'm manually populating an in-memory CD store with a hierarchy of objects and binding them to a NSBrowser via a NSTreeController. Everything displays fine, but now I'm trying to get at the underlying managed object; I use a custom NSBrowserCell that has a checkbox next to the name, and the MO has a state attribute that corresponds to it. I've implemented - (void) browser:(NSBrowser *)sender willDisplayCell:(CleanupBrowserCell *)cell atRow:(NSInteger)row column:(NSInteger)column; in my delegate. I have a fetch request in my CD model to get the objects for a given path. However, [sender path] is never found - I'm not sure, but it looks like that's UTF-16 internally, but the MO stores its path as UTF-8 and there's never a match. I've also tried using the various selection methods in the NSTreeController, but they don't seem to return anything useful. Once populated, I won't be doing any modifications to the tree of objects. It's just for choosing a number of objects on which to do further work. Any pointers would be appreciated. Thanks.

NSBrowser Question
I have an app that saves it's documents in a fileWrapper. The document's window has a NSBrowser where users can attach files. Before the document is saved for the first time the NSBrower's root is a temporary attachments folder (because the filewrapper doesn't exist). After it's saved that attachment folder is moved into the wrapper. When I save the file for the first time, even though I set the root item to the attachment folder in the wrapper, the Browser can't find the attachments (the items are still looking in the temp folder). If I close and reopen the document it works fine. What do I have to do to tell the NSBrowser that the root item has been changed and that the items are now in the attachment folder in the wrapper?

Confused about setting selection in NSBrowser
I'm trying to set the selected item in an NSBrowser. I don't want to use setPath: because the items I'm storing in the browser are not unique, so therefore paths are not unique. I'm trying to use setIndexPath: but when I try the program throws an exception: HIToolbox: ignoring exception 'setSelectionIndexPath: is not supported for browsers with matrix delegates.' that raised inside Carbon event dispatch ( 0 CoreFoundation 0x7fff80322444 __exceptionPreprocess + 180 1 libobjc.A.dylib 0x7fff8055d0f3 objc_exception_throw + 45 2 AppKit 0x7fff8378e252 -[NSBrowser setSelectionIndexPath:] + 128 I don't understand what this exception means. __ See what's on at the movies in your area.

Optimizing Enormous lists in NSBrowser
Hi everyone, I'm recreating a Finder-like column view fro browsing the disk, and I've come up against some optimization impasses. First off, I'm using passive-loading, so that I only load information regarding an item once I get the browser:willDisplayCell: message. This works wonderfully for lazy loading. My problem lies before that. I'm trying to mimic the Finder, so I want to not show hidden files if they're not visible in Finder. When I obtain a directory listing via NSFileManager, it includes everything (including hidden files). Once I get that listing, I filter it based with an "isFileVisible = YES" predicate, which calls an -[NSString isFileVisible] method I've implemented in a category. This method checks the three standard ways of hiding a file to determine its visibility (prefixed with ".", a flipped invisible bit, or listing it in /.hidden [which is deprecated, but I need to support older systems]). Once I've filtered the array, I sort it using a custom "compareLikeFinder:" method, which sorts items into the same order as they appear in Finder. For normal-sized directories, this works pretty well. However, in my "worst-case" scenario of a flat directory containing 1 million files, I've found that it takes 34.8 seconds to retrieve a full directory listing (so I know how many to return in browser:numberOfRowsInColumn:), 301.5 seconds to filter the array, and another 73.6 seconds to sort it. Believe it or not, this is actually better than the current implementation, but I'd like to do even better. On that note, here are my questions: 1. How can I obtain a count of files in a directory without retrieving the actual listing of contents? (I can scan through the folder and count by just grabbing catalog infos myself, but is there a faster way?) 2. How can I retrieve the name of the nth item in a directory without retrieving the actual listing of contents? Thanks!

But I'm going to need to know the id of the category the user ultimately
selects. And, I'm reading it as one parentID to-many ids.

I'm sorry. I should have included the other code. I realize that
relationships are object references. I am handling it in a different way.
I'm looping through the nodes. Also, what I had as "childNode", is actually
"categoryChildNode".
// Get an enumerator that contains all the children of this one category
listed in the XML
NSEnumerator *categoryChildEnumerator = [[categoryNode children]
objectEnumerator];
NSXMLNode *categoryChildNode = nil;
while (categoryChildNode = [categoryChildEnumerator nextObject]) {
NSString *categoryChildName = [categoryChildNode name];
if ([categoryChildName isEqualToString:@"CategoryName"])
{
[category setValue:[categoryChildNode stringValue] forKey:@"name"];
}
else if ([categoryChildName isEqualToString:@"CategoryID"])
{
[category setValue:[childNode stringValue] forKey:@"id"];
}
else if ([categoryChildName isEqualToString:@"CategoryParentID"])
{
[category setValue:[childNode stringValue] forKey:@"parentID"];
}
... and so on
}
All this works fine with core data and an NSTextView.

Given the error I received, I guess this is really my main question then.
How do I do this? Do I need to create a custom managed object class?

It works for me. I did a quick test and it caught all the cases I tried, though I may have missed something. If it helps with the ick factor, I would say that it's much less hacky to take advantage of one method's documented purpose -- "do something when the selection changes, even if it's via keyboard" -- than to do trivial overrides of multiple methods that you select by trial and error. The only possible issue I found with this approach is that it also catches at least one case where the selection *isn't* changing: if you have just one cell selected and you click it, the action method will be called even though the selection hasn't changed. That should be easy to work around if it causes a problem. Surely it shouldn't really be that hard to capture/intercept selection changes - to have to resort to trial and error over-riding of selectXXX, et al. methods is a bit irksome. I agree, it seems a weird omission, given that with NSTableView you have a choice of using either a delegate method or a notification for that very purpose. --Andy ___ Cocoa-dev mailing list (Cocoa-dev@lists.apple.com) Please do not post admin requests or moderator comments to the list.

Yep. Sorry, I should have made that clearer. I have a custom NSMatrix class.

Surely it shouldn't really be that hard to capture/intercept selection changes - to have to resort to trial and error over-riding of selectXXX, et al. methods is a bit irksome. I'd kind of hoped that I'd simply missed some method that I could over-ride to cover my broken cases. > I would think there's an even simpler solution using bindings, but I don't > know bindings so I can't help you there.

intercepting NSBrowser multiple selection extension with shift down/up arrow
I've got an NSBrowser, and a secondary view whose value depends on the
current selection in the NSBrowser.
When only one item is selected, the secondary view shows the path of
the selected item. When multiple items are selected, the secondary
view should show nothing.
I've set up a notification, that gets posted (currently) from
-[NSMatrix selectCellAtRow:column:]
-[NSMatrix mouseDown:]
-[NSMatrix selectAll:]
The observer for the notification updates the secondary view.
I seem to be capturing everything so far, except for the case where
the selection is extended by holding down shift and the up or down
arrow key. Can anyone point me to a suitable method to hopefully
overide as follows:
- (void) someMethod:(id)someArg
{
[super someMethod:someArg];
NSBrowser *browser = [self someMethodThatReturnsTheBrowser];
[[NSNotificationCenter defaultCenter]
postNotificationName:kMyBrowserSelectionWillChangeNotification
object:browser];
}
I've tried
-[NSMatrix setSelectionFrom:to:anchor:highlight:]
and most of the other likely candidates, but they didn't seem to work.
cheers,
Martin

Re: NSBrowser, NSTreeController and Core Data
On Oct 13, 2008, at 08:58, Mark Scardigno wrote:
My main goal here is to have core data application that implements an
NSBrowser view;
You've got a number of conceptual problems here, complicated by the
fact that Core Data is not a good place to start if you have no
experience with fundamental Cocoa technologies. But anyway ...
this being a hierarchic view of entities which I call
categories, such as...
Category -> SubCategories -> SubCategories , etc.
The sub categories selected should be based on the previous columns
selected
category, obviously.
After googling up a previous post here, I followed along and set up an
entity.
I have an entity defined, called Category which has:
+ Attribute: "name"
Type: (String)
+ Relationship: parentID
Destination: "Category"
+ Relationship: id
Destination: "Category"
To-Many Relationship
Inverse: parentID
Your relationship is from categories to subcategories (and inversely
from categories to parent categories). So calling the relationship
"id" makes no sense. IAC, to-many relationship names make more sense
if they're plural ("categories" instead of "id", and "parentCategory"
instead of "parentID").
My MainMenu.nib is as follows:
+ NSTreeController
Attributes
Mode: Entity
Entity Name: "Category"
Child Key Path: "id"
Binding
Parameters
managedObjectContext
Bind To: MyApplication_AppDelegate
Model Key Path: managedObjectContext
+ NSBrowser
Bindings
Browser Content
content
Bind To: NSTreeController
Controller Key: arrangedObjects
Model Key Path: Leave Blank
contentValues
Bind To: NSTreeController
Controller Key: arrangedObjects
Model Key Path: "name"
selectionIndexPaths
Bind To: NSTreeController
Controller Key: selectionIndexPaths
Model Key Path: Leave Blank
After I do some parsing of XML, I am programmatically creating my
category
entities and supplying core data with the values for my keys...
NSManagedObject *category = [NSEntityDescription
insertNewObjectForEntityForName:@"Category" inManagedObjectContext:
[self
managedObjectContext]];
..
[category setValue:[childNode stringValue] forKey:@"name"];
[category setValue:[childNode stringValue] forKey:@"id"];
[category setValue:[childNode stringValue] forKey:@"parentID"];
If 'childNode' is of a Cocoa class like NSXMLNode, [childNode
stringValue] is going to return the same value each time, which
doesn't look like what you want. If you're trying to get to various
XML nodes or attributes, you're going to have to do it a different
way. (Or perhaps you've invented a class that returns different
results each time.) This all suggests that you believe that the
relationships are implemented by matching of (string) names. They're
not. Relationships are object references. Core Data is an object
graph, not a database.
When you create a category object, it's going to have no subcategories
yet, so there's nothing to set for that relationship immediately. If
it has a parent, you need to find the parent object (possibly via the
name of the parent object, which is another subject), and set that
object for the parent relationship. (The inverse will get set
automatically.)
The to-many relationship is a NSSet, so if you ever need to add or
remove subcategories from an object directly, you would use NSSet
accessors. You won't use [setValue:forKey:] for that.
I realize that I'm passing a string, but according to the error, it
wants an
NSSet? How do I fix this?
I also read something about subclassing NSCell and adding the
following
methods:
- (id)objectValue
- (void)setObjectValue:(id)anObject
NSCell doesn't figure into this anywhere at all, and you should just
forget about it. You *might* subclass NSCell to customize a user
interface, but it doesn't have anything to do with your data model,
which is what's at issue here.

Hmmm. Looks like no joy on this one then. A bit of a shame, as it looks like this should be quite easy to do (although presumably it's actually not, or else it would have been fixed).

NSBrowser redraw issues with multiple selection
Here's another NSBrowser issue (this is on Leopard, BTW) I'm allowing multiple selection in my NSBrowser. When my NSBrowser loses focus, the multiple selected cells correctly change to have a grey background, but when it regains focus, only the last selected cell gets updated correctly to the active selection colour. If I scroll the browser or switch apps, the selected cells are correctly redrawn. I've tried forcing redrawing by calling setNeedsDisplay on the matrix, or -[NSMatrix drawCellAtRow:column:] for each cell, but this seems to make no difference. Quartz Debug shows that the last selected cell is getting redrawn, but that the other cells never do, as though the Browser never realises that the cells are dirty and need redrawing too. Any suggestions for how to ensure that all of the selected cells redraw would be great ... -- http://www.mildmanneredindustries.com/ ___ Cocoa-dev mailing list (Cocoa-dev@lists.apple.com) Please do not post admin requests or moderator comments to the list.

Than select the partial visible item, which is a part of the path (grey background): Everything is nice, scrolled correctly! http://www.cocoading.de/webspace/ScrollInsidePath.tiff 3. Try steps 1+2 again, but select a partial visible item, which is *not* a part of the path (white background). No Scrolling is applied! http://www.cocoading.de/webspace/ScrollOutsidePath.tiff 4. Even worse: There is no scrolling, when you edit the item: http://www.cocoading.de/webspace/ScrollEdit.tiff Maybe it is a work-around to select a subitem of the selected item and then return to the selected item.
