Glyph Generator & hiding glyphs -> _NSBlockNumberForIndex() errors

Hi, I have a custom glyph generator (NSGlyphGenerator subclass) that is used to hide glyphs for text with certain attributes. It does this by inserting a single NSNullGlyph for a range of glyphs representing text with these hidden attributes. (This is basically a hidden text toggle.) This all w

Hi All, Is there a way to dynamically set the Application menu text and the Dock hover text? The Application menu text comes from CFBundleName and the Dock hover (and about menu text) is from the Nib. I'd like for these to be keyed from a central location during application load. What is the ri

IB3 Application vs File Owner

NSApplication shared instance is now available in all NIB files in IB3. It's there for convenience. File's owner is the object loading the nib. In general, it is NSApp only for MainMenu.nib (the first NIB to be loaded). In that NIB, both objects designate the same instance. -- Julien Sen
