Hey everybody, I'm nearly done with my latest project: a code editor with scope aware tab completion. It's got most of the features other editors have and works about the same. Only difference that you probably couldn't figure out from looking at the menus is that since now a tab completes...

You have to subclass NSFormatter, instantiate it, and then connect the text field's "formatter" attribute to it. Then, to have it do your specific kind of formatting, I think you just have to override some of NSFormatter's methods. URL for formatting info...

The reason I want to is that the focus starts on the matrix of cells, with the arrow keys moving around. When the user hits something that isn't an arrow key though, the focus should go up to the formula entry box. Thanks, I'll look for that.

Yeah, that's what I've been doing. I'd prefer being able to drop the cursor there without selecting though.

Hey all, First a question: does anyone know how to set the cursor position in a text field? Or how to move the focus - like make the user move from editing one text field to editing another through code? Anyway, I finally got around to doing an update. Over the last couple days I...

I've never done it, but the cocoa classes you use to get menus up there are NSStatusItem and NSStatusBar.

My memory is pretty hazy on this, but if I remember right, there's some kind of conspiracy between NSApplication, the application-wide NSOpenPanel, and your document class that does the openDocument: thing. The way I would do this, which is admittedly sloppy, ugly, and likely immoral (but...

I think this happens to most programming message boards - there just isn't that much people can help each other with. I think most of us are still learning obj-c, which gives us a bit to converse about, but beyond that, when people write programs, there may be a class or two they need to find...

I hate the []'s too. In theory, it's a pretty and clear way to separate things, whereas a string of .'s has no visual delineation of which result of which method is having the next method called on it. The reason I HATE []'s though is that it requires you to figure out before hand how...

In the perl docs, it claims you can compile a script to a binary, but I've never tried it. At the terminal, do "man perlcompile" and it will give you about 10 pages on it. I only read the first page or so, but it looks kind of complicated. In my experience everything runs fast enough just...

I looked it over, and the debugger didn't catch the SIGBUS, which makes me suspect the problem is happening somewhere in the applescript stuff. I've never done anything with applescript though, so I don't even know where to look in it. I think if the problem was anywhere in the obj-C though the...

Well everybody, I'm planning to submit this for the design awards tomorrow night, as after a month of giving up hours of sleep to this, I want to make sure everything goes okay. So, any final feedback would be greatly appreciated. Same link, and thanks a lot for all the help everybody's...

I don't know. I did that on my desktop and it worked fine, but I'm trying it now on my laptop and it's not working.

Uhh... no suggestion but to run the debugger and find out what line those two things happen on. I usually SIGBUS's when I try to use a variable without initializing it.

Okay, here's what you do: In the targets's "appication settings"/Document types, create one with "*" as the extension and make sure to set the Document class to the file you want to open it. Then it will let you open everything.
