Table of TextViews

I’m still struggling to create a single scrollview containing a stack of textviews. I created an object called “Subdocument” which has two important readonly properties: NSTextView* myView CGFloat myHeight myHeight returns myView's frame hight, but never less than 10. The Subdocument’s init

Hi, I have to draw several lines of text, one by one, to an HTML page. I get the text from an NSTextView, iterating throught the text lines: lineRect = [layoutManager lineFragmentRectForGlyphAtIndex:index effectiveRange:&lineGlyphRange]; index = NSMaxRange(l

Creating a Photo Extension

Nothing leaves you feeling like a stroke victim more than doing something you know you've done before and having it fail all over the place. I'm trying to create a simple application with a dummy photo extension written in swift. I have already written an actual application with a photo extension

UIWebView not scaling page (iOS8)

Hi list, I have a UIWebView inside a UITableViewCell that simply won’t scale the page to fit on iOS8. I have set it to scale pages to fit in IB and have also tried setting it in code, but it simply won’t do it. The UIWebView depicts a JPG image located at a web location. I had no trouble with

Waiting for callback with GCD: impossible?

On a related topic from my last post, looking at the equivalent situation but using GCD instead of runloops, the problem appears to be impossible. That is: * Code running on dispatch queue A starts some async task that will run on another queue B, and which will signal completion by using dispat

Waiting for a future runloop-based callback

2014-10-08 Thread Jens Alfke
I thought I understood runloops pretty well, but I'm running into a situation that's got me stumped. Basically it involves how to wait (block) for a future message-send that will be queued onto the current runloop. So I've started an asynchronous task that runs on a background thread. When the

Once your application is in the background it becomes fair game for being terminated. So even if you're using a very reasonable mount of RAM, if you're in the background you can expect that if some other application needs the memory your application will be terminated. -- David Duncan @ My iPho

Why not check the file size before writing? If the file size > your max, then get the length of the message you are about to write and trim that many chars from the front of the file before writing. Or append the message to your file and after writing, check the file size and trim the surplus
