I am new to the specifics of mac programming, and am trying to learn
about dynamic/shared libraries.
I can compile a .dylib fine, it exports symbols correctly.
- How do I load a .dylib, dynamically, so that I can use them as

I have a CustomView and am displaying an NSImage. The image is higher than
the view but instead of cutting off the bottom of the image it cuts off the
top. What am I doing wrong?
Any help appreciated.

tool similar to PowerDesigner :

Anybody know of any alternatives that run on the mac?

I have a project that needs to be compiled under CW8. I already have CW9
installed. When I try to install CW 8 I get an Permissions error on the last
couple of files, the file it stops on is CWIB.bundle.
How can I install CW 8 under 10.4.2, Tiger?

Hi there, I have encountered the following problem. I'm writing a C++
program that possibly exceeds the machine's memory capacity, and I need
it to check for memory allocation errors. Normally I'd check for a NULL
returned from new or malloc(), and catch bad_alloc exceptions.

I'm trying to create a resizeable window but it doesn't want to create
as resizeable.  it creates as a static sized window.  am I doing
something wrong or is my system wonky?  I'd also like to have a smaller

The program that I want to use as a learning example is CDparanoia, and I

I need to get notifications for 2 events for a NSwindow.

-(void)initReqsWindow;

I have just a question.
I have bunch of XCode projects.
I'd like to build these projects one go.
Can I do this?

I need to identify the screen number so I can store that into the prefs
file so the window can open up in the proper screen the next time.  I'm
using obj-c with osx 10.4.2 server.
the following the compiler doesn't like.

Since switching to OSX 10.4 and Xcode 2, I can't get OpenGL to open from
within my application.  In Panther, everything worked fine, both with
CodeWarrior 8.3 and Xcode 1.5.
Previously, I've always used CodeWarrior, but as it's outdated, I am

I'm trying to create an offscreen OpenGL drawing area that
can then be treated as an image and composited into an NSView
using Quartz drawing operations. If possible, I'd like to get
hardware-assisted rendering and minimise copying of data

I want to use NavPutFile in a Carbon port of an old program.  I know
it's obsolete, but I don't want the hassle of dealing with FsRefs and
CFStrings etc, and I don't care about Long/Unicode filenames.
The program originally used CustomPutFile, with a popup menu to select
