I'm in the middle of Apple's Cocoa Tutorial... on this page:

...under this section: Connect the Custom Class to the Interface
In the picture they show the Outlets and ...

Anyone know how to tell the header row in an NSTableView how to resize
itself? I've changed the default font for my NSTableView using
InterfaceBuilder and the default header row size is no longer large
enough, and apparently the propeller-heads at Apple Dev haven't

I'm totally new to OS X programming, so I'm probably missing
something obvious.. anyway..
I'm trying to port a Linux app to OS X.  It uses atomic variable
functions (atomic_set() etc in Linux), and the OSAtomic.h functions

I have a powerplant carbon application(Aim of my application is to create
the rtf file which should open with text edit).
I am using a MLTEPane text control where I am writting some text( with
some font attributes set ) and saving it in a rtf file.

As far as I can tell OS-X (even 10.3.8) doesn't BNEP, i.e. ethernet over
bluetooth.  This is disappointing as I use BNEP and my Linux PC to
extend our house LAN to my PDA.  I am now using a Mac as my every day
workhorse and would like to do the same with that.  I.e. extend the ...

I am quite new to Mac OS programming and I tried to use gcc to compile
the following test program,
#include <iostream>
int main()

I need to test some code which copies sounds to and pastes sounds from
the global pasteboard.
So i need a separate application which can paste and copy sounds
(to make sure that the code is specifying the type and data

if I echo ~ on the console, I get the correct home directory.
If I use ~/lib or similar I do not get the correct path.
Why can this be ?
Thanks

How do you make a Cocoa application recordable?
I know how to make a Cocoa app scriptable, but I don't see what the
Cocoa equivalent of AESend(...,kDontExecute,...) is. (which is what you
do in Carbon to let Script Editor know what the U.I. just did.)

I have my own class that I instantiate and it starts a tcp/ip connection using
[NSStream getStreamsToHost:host port:80 inputStream:&myIn outputStream:&myOut];
[myIn retain];
[myOut retain];

nb = [[NSNumber alloc] initWithInt:7];
after that how to change the value from 7 to 8

I've torn my hair out on this for a while. It involves tar (gnutar) on
OSX. Basically, I need to tar a directory and its contents, say:
#define kTarSource = "//Users/Shared/FolderA/FolderB/TarThis/"
#define kTarDestination = "MyTar.tar"

Just bought myself a Happy Hacking Lite2 USB keyboard on ebay
   <http://www.pfu.co.jp/en/hhkeyboard/leaflet/photo.html#hhklite2>
It works just fine and is nice and compact. However, there seems to be
one catch for Mac users: I doesn't come with an 'enter' key, just a

Can anyone tell me more about WebObjects? I seem to recall that it's
released by Apple but there doesn't seem to be much news about it. I'm
curious about what it's meant for and who uses it. Thanks.
PS: Sorry, couldn't find any newsgroup on webobjects, so had to post

A long time ago I knew how to hack ResEdit so that I could see MENU
resources in the font of my choice.  My program switches between other
languages and English, and I need to see the menus in a specific font (not
Chicago) so that I can edit the menus sensibly.  I know that there is ...
