Trying to display a static image on my window. Any tips would be great
Hi All, I have been trying to get a static image to display in a corner of my window and it has to literally just sit there and do nothing however I have searched and searched Apple's dodumentation but no success yet. I have dropped an Image View onto the window in IB and set the following in my .h file in Xcode: IBOutlet NSImageView *theImage; Then in my .m file I have this so far: NSString *imageName; NSImage *tempImage; imageName = [[NSBundle mainBundle] pathForResource:@"logo" ofType:@"PNG"]; tempImage = [[NSImage alloc] initWithContentsOfFile:imageName]; My image is set in my project in the resources folder and is called logo.png and I hooked up the object to the NSImageView using IB. Can't seem to get it to display. I believe I have a line of code missing that will tie my MSImage to my NSImageView but not sure how. Any Ideas please? I'm pretty new to cocoa and don't understand all the lingo yet so be gentle please.

That is, setting the image of the image view to the image you loaded.

(I'm new also so someone please correct me if this is wrong...) If your image does nothing at all (or never changes), could you just set in directly in IB? I've made some Applescript apps with images in an image view, I just drag the image (in IB's Image panel) directly into my window, or into an NSImageView box. Maybe you don't even need a line of code for it.

This is just a static image from your application's bundle, so you should be able to do everything in IB without writing any code. After dragging a NSImageView into your window, open the Inspector window if it's not already open. Then set attributes Image=logo (Cocoa will figure out the file's extension), Border=none, Scale: to fit. Select Size from the inspector's popup menu and set the size to the image's size. Depending on where the image will be in your window, you may need to set the autosizing struts and springs right below the size info. You can find out if it stays in the correct place when your window resizes by selecting Test Interface from the File menu (command-R). steve ___ Cocoa-dev mailing list (Cocoa-dev@lists.apple.com) Please do not post admin requests or moderator comments to the list.

If you add an IBAction method to your window controller's class, it can respond to a click on the image by calling [[NSWorkspace sharedWorkspace] openURL:@"http://www.apple.com";]; On Jul 1, 2008, at 9:09 AM, Papa-Raboon wrote: Thanks loads for that Steve. It seems to be doing as I wanted now. Someone kindly pointed out that if I created my image with an Alpha chanel that it could also have transparencies too which worked beautifully. I just need to figure out how to hyperlink it so it can open a URL in a browser now.
