The author’s original code does not work because s/he is attempting to print floats out as %d. The correct code would be: NSPoint mouseLoc = [NSEvent mouseLocation]; //get current mouse position NSLog(@”Mouse location: %f %f”, mouseLoc.x, mouseLoc.y); You don’t need to go to Carbon to do this.
Check out tag, “a command line tool to manipulate tags on Mac OS X 10.9 Mavericks files, and to query for files with those tags”. The GitHub repository has installation instructions (there are Homebrew and MacPorts packages).
There is, obviously, no such language as C++/CLI on Mac OS. On Windows, C++/CLI actually compiles as managed code ran by the CLR, that runs native code; since on Mac OS Mono isn’t integrated to the system, it’s rather the other way around. Your app is native, and it can host managed code. Mono exposes … Read more
Unfortunatelly (yet unsurprisingly), there’s no public API for dealing with user’s notifications preferences, one of which is Do Not Disturb mode (DND). Nevertheless if your want to provide the feature of turning DND on and off in your application, you’re not out of luck actually: there’re three ways for you to choose from. #1. Run … Read more
An index cannot safely be used in this case. A naive implementation would transform this: … WHERE word LIKE ‘search_string%’ into … WHERE word >= ‘search_string’ AND word < ‘search_strinh’ by incrementing the last character of the search string. The greater-than and less-than operators can use an index, where LIKE cannot. Unfortunately, that won’t work … Read more
This warning also occurs when I build and run a brand new empty project in Xcode 9.1. Replacing the default NSWindow with an empty custom class of NSWindow with no changes does remove the error, but that behaviour makes no sense. Therefore, I’m filing it as a bug.
If you are dealing with financial computations, you really should use base-10 arithmetic to avoid the rounding errors that can occur with the standard base-2 floating point types. So it’s either NSDecimal or NSDecimalNumber. And since you’re writing object-oriented code, NSDecimalNumber is the right choice for you. To answer your questions: only testing of your … Read more
Apple has a technote on uniquely identifying a mac. Here’s a loosely modified version of the code Apple has posted in that technote… don’t forget to link your project against IOKit.framework in order to build this: #import <IOKit/IOKitLib.h> – (NSString *)serialNumber { io_service_t platformExpert = IOServiceGetMatchingService(kIOMasterPortDefault, IOServiceMatching(“IOPlatformExpertDevice”)); CFStringRef serialNumberAsCFString = NULL; if (platformExpert) { serialNumberAsCFString … Read more
If you provide a custom segue (subclass of NSStoryboardSegue) you can get the result you are after. There are a few gotchas with this approach though: the custom segue will use presentViewController:animator so you will need to provide an animator object because the presented view is not backed by a separate Window object, you may … Read more
Because this new way helps you with autocompletion, switch statement, better, respectively more precise warnings, … Stick with macro … typedef NS_ENUM( NSUInteger, CarType ) { FourDoorCarType, TwoDoorCarType }; … read this for example https://stackoverflow.com/a/3190470/581190 NSInteger, … what types do you want?
