I have some legacy code - straight ANSI C with standard library calls
(no operating system dependencies) - that I'd like to run on MacOS X.
I've run this code on Unix/Solaris, Linux, Windows (MS Visual C++.NET
w/DOS console), and MacOS 9.1 (using CodeWarrior 6 / SIOUX console).

Is there any sample code on carbon contextual menus? The only one I've
found uses HIView. Is it a window event or a mouse event? Is a control
key modifier the same as a right mouse click?
Thanks,

C++, XCode compiler error question.
I have a container C whose constructor takes a class B that is inherited
from an abstract class A.  So I have the line of code:
 B  binstance;

If I change the name of a folder with source code, the file names come
up red in XCode since it can't find the files anymore.  Where do I go to
change the default search paths?  I've used the inspector (i), but they
are not listed there.  Codewarrior had a list of the paths in ...

My MacOS X product is a plug-in for a third-party commercial
application (Eudora).  If it matters (which I doubt), my plug-in is a
CFM stub that passes all of its entry points over to MachO, so I can
operate in either environment if necessary (virtually all of my code

OK, so I've read the stuff about Table Views in the Apple
documentation, and I'm still a bit unclear... anyone can help me out
with this I'd be grateful.
This much I get: the NSTableView is the GUI control, which has an

I'm working through the O'Reilly book "Learning Cocoa With
Objective-C".
Chapter 9: we are creating a button which, when pressed, adds an extra
row to an NSTableView.

Hi! I would be grateful if someone would help a total newbie compile
some source code on an OSX Tiger system. The program I need is detailed
here.

This challenge is proving problematic: writing a tool that extracts
image data from image files (passed as command line arguments), scales
it to a desired size (i.e., makes a thumbnail of it), then saves it to
a newly created image file.

I am working on a document-based app and need a little help with some
threading issues.  Each document window contains an NSOutlineView.  Each
document splits off a thread to process a set of data and updates its
outlineview periodically during execution of the thread.  I have ...

In my nib file, the option "Ignore clicks" is *not* selected.  Other than
that, I have no idea what to check to make sure content clicks get
detected.  What else could explain this?  Bottom line, when I click in the
window, nothing happens.  The following is my basic code, ...

Using nonbundle apps, I am in the habit of accessing files in the same
directory as the application by simply specify the filename as a C string
when creating an istream object, or when calling open() on an ifstream
object.  Bundle apps are, of course, bundles.  The actual app is ...

I'm trying to combine a NSTableView and a NSTextView together in one
NSScrollView. I know both use their own NSScrollView, but I want to be
able to scroll them both by using one vertical scrollbar. The
NSTableView is used to represent the line numbers and select each

I've been searching both google and the newsgroups both so far without
any luck. Let me try to explain what I'm trying to accomplish for the
last 3 days. I'm just starting to learn XCode, so it might seem obvious
to some of you, but I can't seem to get it done.

I am a multiplatform programmer and have some problems that I am not
able to
solve under Windows for now.
