Re: Why is a button in a window not redrawn when I change its state?

Hi Jens. This is the method in my AppDelegate.m which should update the button: - (void)updateKillHelpdButton { [killHelpdButton setEnabled:[self checkHelpd]]; [killHelpdButton setNeedsDisplay:YES]; } Can someone please tell me what else I should do to force the redraw? That should work; in

Re: Why is a button in a window not redrawn when I change its state?

PS: I am quite sure that there is no official API for what I am doing here, so I fear there's no other nice way of checking if helpd has been launched. I could get rid of this all if I'd "cover" the relevant button in a sheet which isn't visible all the time, but I'd like to keep it in the main wi

Re: finder eject images

Hi Lee Ann. Also I think Apple frowns on copying their icons into your apps. Only the ones you can get through imageNamed: or iconForFileType: are fair game. Wasn't it Steve Jobs who invited us to pick all their nice icons, somewhen in the past when he introduced Leopard (or even Tiger)? -

Setting the Sent Actions in IB

Ok, I know I'm missing something simple here. I connect the "Page Setup" menu item to the runPageLayout action in the First Responder & get nothing. If I hook up a random button to the same action, it displays just fine. If I connect a new menu item, I still get nothing. If I connect the

Re: How to resolve bulk warning "Creating selector for nonexistent method ..."?

For the nonexistent method warnings, your project- or target-level settings likely have "Undeclared Selector" checked in the GCC warnings section of the build settings. For the multiple selectors warnings, look at the Strict Selector Matching item in the same section. It says this will pop up i

Hi Steve, Thanks for your reply! Usually i would be tempted to get to the bottom of this and understand where/what mistakes were made (and by who;). But other than switching between Debug/Release i hadn't touched the build-settings at all, so i figured the problem couldn't be there.. But meanwhil

Re: Setting the Sent Actions in IB

The view controller (or app delegate) should be the one to respond to the 'runPageLayout:' message, not the first responder!! Unless you've subclassed one of the UI controls (to add the aforementioned runPageLayout: method), there won't be any first responder that can receive that message, unl

Re: NSDatePicker weirdness with time.

Trygve, That should work. I suspect that you are setting the timeZone of the NSDatePicker as well. There is a bug, where is you set the NSDatePicker timeZone but do not set the calendar, then you will run into this problem. (Same thing with NSDatePicker locale.) So, either don't adjust the NSD
