Roland, You really need to start here: http://developer.apple.com/documentation/Cocoa/Conceptual/MemoryMgmt/Concept s/ObjectOwnership.html#//apple_ref/doc/uid/2043 For me, this was the most complicated part of Cocoa and most different from other languages. I recommend reading it, printing it,

Jason, Check out the CocoaMYSQL "bundled framework", aka MCPKit. It is quite easy to use, and there is an example app (cocoamysql). My personal feelings are that we should all be using ODBC to connect to these DBs, however there is ODBC support under cocoa is presently pretty dicey, so we are stu

RE: ODBCKit problems with MySQL DB [SOLVED]

Well, solved kinda... I have worked around the inability to use ODBC to access my MySQL database by using the MCPkit framework (AKA MySQLCocoa). This is a very complete library that works well. It does however have the obvious limitation of being "MySQL only". I would prefer to be using ODBC, and

Threading problem using AsyncSocket

Hello list, This is my first attempt at threading with Cocoa, and I am having difficulty with my classes that use AsyncSocket. I am using DetachNewThreadSelector: to detach my ‘worker’ thread, and I am instantiating my class that uses AsyncSocket from within this thread. The problem is that the

Hello everyone: I have another question that is based on my Microsoft background (yes I am ashamed). In the VS environment, there is a “timer” control that can be dropped onto a form, and will generate timer events every X milliseconds. How would I impliment similar functionality in Cocoa, or wha

I am creating an application that requires multiple “modal” windows. There is a “main” window, and there are multiple other windows that can be displayed from the main window (using a toolbar, buttons, etc.). These “other” windows need to be modal, that is these windows must receive all user inpu

RE: fundamental question: how do I call controller methods from other classes?

Hal, The controller instance is created by the IB. All I wanted to do is to be able to call accessor methods on the controller (from other classes) to manipulate the GUI (encapsulate the GUI stuff). I thought that this would be a normal thing to do, but I guess not. I kinda think wiring sockets a
