manual item enabling

2019-11-24 Thread Kurt Bigler via Cocoa-dev
I have an app in final stages of conversion from Carbon to Cocoa. It uses a legacy architecture for menu item enabling that originated with the Think Class Library. It is not really practical to consider redoing the entire implementation so I am retrofitting it. The method used is to make a

Hi, As part of a process of porting an app from Carbon to Cocoa I'm needing to have Carbon and Cocoa windows present at the same time. The Carbon event loop is therefore still in place. I've just started implementing the Cocoa windows. The NSView subclasses involved are receiving

instantiating nib objects conditionally

2019-06-19 Thread Kurt Bigler via Cocoa-dev
I would like to be able to traverse the top-level object list in a macOS nib without instantiating the objects. But I'd like to be able to get at the attributes of each top-level item to decide whether to instantiate it, and then of course to control instantiation on an object-by-object basis
