Mac Forum / Programming / Mac Programming / August 2005

I just purchased a new mac, installed fink, gcc4 (includes gfortran) and
Xcode SDK (i think i installed gcc4 from xcode, but found it does not
include gfortran, so i reinstalled gcc4 from fink on top of that) from
apple.

I have a simple program composed of a main executable and a dynamic
library (built with -dynamic -dynamiclib).  The executable is _not_
linked with the library.  It calls dlopen() to open the dynamic lib,
calls dlsym() to obtain the address of a function, calls that function

Can you open an app bundle without a display?
I've been googling, and I was told you could do something like:
open bundle.app
from Terminal.

I am trying to localize  my application. I have my application resource

I am brand new to Cocoa/Xcode/Objective-C although I have been doing
Carbon/CodeWarrior/C++ for years.  I'm trying to get my feet wet.
I wanted to see if I could open an image file and display it in a window
(as opposed to hardcoding the image in Interface Builder, which I have

My conversion (meaning my skills, not conversion of a program) from
CodeWarrior/Carbon/C++/Resources to XCode/Cocoa/Obj-C/Nibs is going great
(although I miss many C++ things so I will probably try Obj-C++ at some
point).  I wrote Tetris today and it works fantastically.  I am ...

Hi folks, I am still trying to build an AddressBook-like interface; as
Matt Neuburg suggested, I'm trying to do achieve this by subclassing
NSTextView.
I have built this NSTextView subclass, and I called it TextForm.

I see two different File Dialog boxes. AbiWord, Safari, GarageBand and
iChat all use the same "fixed column width, each column needs to be
manually resized" file dialog box.  Eudora, TextWrangler, iTunes and
iPhoto all use the same "variable column width, resize with the window

What is the far memory model for mac?  Meaning how do I declare a far pointer?

Ok probability the Finder column list is not a real NSBrowser... a
strange sublclass? uhm :-/
Is there around an example of custom NSBrowser with special NSCell? I
have searched a lot but nothing... only a "stupid" example ad ADC.

I have an NSOutlineView where the user can edit the entries. This is
working just fine. I would however be able to validate the data before
it gets "saved", that is before
outlineView:setObjectValue:forTableColumn:byItem: gets called so that

        I am using LTabsControl. Initially the no. of tabs was static
and limited, but after allowing
to add and remove tabs at run time the problem is how to handle more
no. of tabs in LTabsControl.

Can someone explain the difficulty level to do this?  I have an obsolete
form filler application that is only for 68K Macs.  How much trouble is
it to convert?

Hi folks, it's me again, thank you for your previous suggestions.
I was wondering if there is a standard way to produce a text-field
interface that looks like the Address Book App: a lot of fields in the
"edit" mode; the empty one disappearing in normal mode(this is easily

testsuite. After a research on google I found the bug referenced here:
