Re: [users@lists.monobjc.net] NSApplication.LoadNib() fails.

Hi Laurent,

Thanks for your reply.  It indeed works if I create a bundle.  It seemed 
strange to me as cocoa-sharp did not require this specific directory 
structure.

Hello,

The error you get roughly means that the NIB file has not been found.

When developing a Cocoa application with Monobjc, you have to follow
the specific directory structure of a Cocoa Application Bundle. I
suggest you to read
http://www.monobjc.net/index.php?page=anatomy-of-an-application and
http://developer.apple.com/documentation/CoreFoundation/Conceptual/CFBundles/Concepts/BundleAnatomy.html
to learn about the structure.

In most cases, everything that apply to Cocoa can be applied to Monobjc.

Hi all,

I am new to monobjc (just discovered it), and want to try it out.
 Nevertheless, I fail to load a nib.  My code always returns
'633579382263870320 [ERROR] NSApplication - Error while loading the NIB
file'.

I am on MacOSX 10.4.11 (Tiger) and have mono 1.9.1 installed (latest
version).  I downloaded monobjc-2.0.272.0 and use the assemblies from under
the dist/1.0/ folder.  I write and compile the code in visual studio
(parallels) on a shared folder on the mac.  From that shared folder, I
simply run the assembly.

Here is my code (note that it works when using cocoa-sharp).

using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Text;
using Monobjc;
using Monobjc.Cocoa;
using Cocoa;

namespace monobjc_menulet
{
  class Program
  {
      static void Main(string[] args)
      {
          runMonobjc();
          //runCocoaSharp();
      }

      private static void runCocoaSharp()
      {
          Application.Init();
          Application.LoadNib("Menulet.nib");
          Application.Run();
      }

      private static void runMonobjc()
      {             ObjectiveCRuntime.LoadFramework("Cocoa");
          ObjectiveCRuntime.Initialize();

          NSApplication.Bootstrap();
          NSApplication.LoadNib("Menulet.nib");
          NSApplication.RunApplication();
      }

  }
}

And this is the output I get on the command line :

[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~/monobjc-menulet/monobjc-menulet/bin/Debug $ ls
Menulet.nib                cocoa-sharp.dll
 monobjc-menulet.vshost.exe
Monobjc.Cocoa.dll          monobjc-menulet.exe
Monobjc.dll                monobjc-menulet.pdb
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~/monobjc-menulet/monobjc-menulet/bin/Debug $ mono
monobjc-menulet.exe
633579391323136830 [ERROR] NSApplication - Error while loading the NIB file
^C
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~/monobjc-menulet/monobjc-menulet/bin/Debug $

Does anyone of you knows why this goes wrong ?
Many thanks in advance,
Miguel
