Re: Custom sheet question - which variable?
Learning your way around the documentation takes awhile, but do it whenever you can. In your Xcode documentation window, in the search field at the top right, type Sheet Programming Topics. You'll get a wonderful document which will explain many things you can't figure out by following sample code. I've seen the Sheet Programming Topics on the Macdev center, that's where I saw that sample code. (For some reason, I can't search the XCode Documentation for the programming guides; it's loaded, but nothing shows in search; the API searches fine.) I do find their guides pretty helpful. One of the things you will find in that document is that cascading sheets are not supported or desirable. We had a discussion on an alternative to this, presenting sheets serially, a few days ago. Read the thread wait for sheet result on this page: http://lists.apple.com/archives/cocoa-dev/2010/Jan/thrd4.html#00366 Hmm. Good points. I thought of a better way to do it in my application. But I'm still interested in how to do the below for another task (not cascading). Yes, you can load a window from any xib you want to, or even create one in code, and then attach it to a window as a sheet. That's what I can't get to work, that's where I'm still confused. This piece of code here: - if (!myCustomSheet) [NSBundle loadNibNamed: @MyCustomSheet owner: self]; [NSApp beginSheet: myCustomSheet modalForWindow: window modalDelegate: self didEndSelector: @selector(didEndSheet:returnCode:contextInfo:) contextInfo: nil]; I get that myCustomSheet is an NSWindow reference, but how does it know to be the particular window I want to show? When the nib is loaded, where does it go (in code)? How do I connect the window in the MyCustomSheet XIB to an outlet in the AppDeletegate file? I am stuck there...

In the MyObject XIB file, I manually set File's Owner to be the custom NSWindowController subclass, not AppDelegate. But, I'm trying to open the sheet from the AppDelegate class. Is that possible? You can do whichever you like. I tend to wander objects up and down my various controller and delegate chains as I write code because where I think I want it, I sometimes don't want it. Ask yourself this, what is this sheet most closely tied to? Is it something which is going to be used in the delegate on some kind of delegate callback? If so, you probably want the delegate to own it. Or is it something the WindowController really wants to 'own'? If that's the case then let it own it. If (in the code you posted) you're at that point in your AppDelegate then 'self', the thing you pass as owner, is the wrong type for the way you say you have your XIB configured. You need to make sure that the 'owner' is an object of the class you've told the XIB that File's Owner is; it can be what you like, but you have to be consistent. If you want it to be in your NSWindowController subclass, then for 'owner' you need to pass that window controller subclass object and the window you require will end up bound to some properly (you define) of that, then you pass [ yourWindowController thePropertyYouChose ] as the window to your sheet method. And don't forget, in your XIB .. you need to make the connection to the property in File's Owner. Oh yes it's easily said but so easily overlooked and you'll be asking why your sheet doesn't come up after you loaded the NIB and it will be because the outlet is nil because you didn't actually hook it up graphically in IB.

Open new document from within another document.
I am stumped. I am trying to open another document from within a
document. My AppController implements the delegate method
-(BOOL) application:(NSApplication*) sender openFile:(NSString*)path
{
NSLog(@AppController - application:openFile - %@, path);
NSDocumentController* dc = [NSDocumentController
sharedDocumentController];
id doc = [dc openDocumentWithContentsOfURL:[NSURL URLWithString:path]
display:YES];
return (doc != nil);
}
From within MyDocument.m
I have a method like below
-(void)openSelectedFile
{
// if nothing selected, return
if([tableView numberOfSelectedRows] != 1)
return;
NSLog(@openSelectedFile);
NSDictionary* dict = [entries objectAtIndex:[tableView selectedRow]];
NSString* tempDirectory = NSTemporaryDirectory();
NSLog(@temp directory = %@, tempDirectory);
NSMutableArray* filenames = [[NSMutableArray alloc] initWithObjects:
[dict valueForKey:@filename], nil];
if([self fileIsSupported:[dict valueForKey:@filename]])
{
[extractor extractFiles:filenames toDirectory:tempDirectory];
NSString* tmpFilename = [tempDirectory
stringByAppendingPathComponent:[dict valueForKey:@filename]];
NSApplication* app = [NSApplication sharedApplication];
[[app delegate] application:app openFile:tmpFilename];
}
[filenames release];
}
How else should I handle opening another window with the file specified?
BTW: I can drag and drop onto my icon. I can Open and Open Recent
from the Menu just fine.
This is the only issue I have trying to open a document. Oh, and just
to cover my bases, I did make sure
that the file exists and is accessible.
Thanks,
Jeff

Can I do something programatically to add the new button? Advice is very much welcome. Do nothing. The users preferences are how they like their app, or if they've never changed it from the defaults you originally gave them, presumably they are happy with that. Just make the button available and mention it in your release notes - if they want it, they can easily add it.

Re: A password strength checker
Awesome find, Howard. I've needed a password strength algorithm in the past and never could find one. Plus, the strength computed by the Password Assistant is questionable at best. Given a password of '' (20 lowercase 'a'), the assistant scores it about a 20%. Add one more 'a' though and it jumps to 80%. I'm not sure how that one extra 'a' is worth a 60% increase in strength. I'd be nice if their implementation was a bit more open for examination. The algorithm used by KeePass, however, scores both a 20-character 'a' and 21-character 'a' password as 10 (with 0 being no password or a worthless password). Seems more accurate. If anyone's interested in it, I wrote a Cocoa version of their implementation. I'd be happy to make it available.

Re: if statement causing 32 Byte leak?
I think what Graham originally said was true though - the hardest over-release bugs to get to the bottom of are those where a 'stale' reference is left behind in an autorelease pool, only to blow up at some future point. That has certainly been my experience at least and Graham's suggestion would trap all such bugs at the point of last release (which, probably, is the cause of the bug anyway).

Oops, you're correct. Like the method says, bind:*to*:segmentedControl. IIRC the bindings documentation isn't clear which direction is bound to refers to and/or it gives the impression that a binding is symmetric (which it may effectively be at the level of notifications, but it isn't at the level of establishing bindings between objects). When I first heard the word binding, from other uses in English, I assumed that it was two-way, and labored under this incorrect assumption for quite awhile. Now I know that a binding is only one way, and further that change data flows in the *opposite* direction of the *to*. That is, if I bind myself *to* you, I observe what you do and your changes flow back *to* me. I wonder why bindings was not as an extension of KVO, instead of as a separate sideshow. The effect is the same as KVO, with the addition that a designated setter is automatically invoked in the observer when a change is observed. And then there's the whole thing about the separate namespaces for bindings and properties, not to mention the three definitions of the word binding to mean 1. (verb) the act of binding 2. (noun) the connection that you get when you make a binding 3. (noun) the name of the property that gets bound in the receiver I wrote a little document for myself where I actually use the words binding(1), binding(2) and binding(3). Scott, if I ever get to point that I think I know what I'm talking about, I might file a bug to suggest that the whole Cocoa Bindings Reference be destroyed and its pages page added as a Bindings section to the regular API documentation of the bound classes.

Thanks, guys! I owe you one, because I would have never checked out statfs on
my own.
Even if not exactly on topic here's my solution after I browsed the source of
FSFormatName.c at
http://opensource.apple.com/source/libfs/libfs-9/FSFormatName.c (just for the
archive):
#include sys/mount.h
struct statfs fsInfo;
int fsSubtype;
if (statfs([path cStringUsingEncoding:NSASCIIStringEncoding], fsInfo) == 0)
{
#ifdef _DARWIN_FEATURE_64_BIT_INODE
fsSubtype = fsInfo.f_fssubtype;
#else
fsSubtype = fsInfo.f_reserved1;
#endif
...
}
Afterwards I can easily compare fsSubtype:
0 = FAT 12
1 = FAT 16
2 = FAT 32

Re: Drawing A Mutable String
Andy: There's nothing drawing over it. I can move that chunk of code to the
end of drawRect: with the same result.
Quincy: rightAligned is a paragraph style object that's defined elsewhere in
drawRect and used in a few different places.
Fritz: All four things you mention are apparently true when I run it through
the debugger, so the if statement must be working. What's more, I can see
that it's working by inserting a printf inside (or after) the if and seeing
the fully appended string there.
How is it possible that I can append the value of infoStr, see that new
value at the console with printf, then draw it and get the old value?
Also, I can appended another string to infoStr after the invalidStack if
statement and it gets drawn (always, since it's not in an if), but the
string appended in the invalidStack if statement still doesn't get drawn.
They both show up in the console when I printf infoStr, but the invalidStack
piece in the middle of the string is left out when infoStr is drawn.
Gah!

I don't understand why you say the if statement works fine. You say it
doesn't execute its body when you think its condition is true. That means it
doesn't work fine, doesn't it?
When you execute this code line-by-line in the debugger, do you see with
your own eyes:
• gameCon (assuming it is an object pointer) is not nil?
• gameCon.invalidStack is non-zero?
• Control ever reaches line 1?

Hyperlinks in Table Views
Hi all;
I'm trying to display a list of clickable hyperlinks inside a table view. The
current approach I'm taking is to use a table column with a NSTextFieldCell
data cell, with a value attribute that is bound to an attributed string value,
constructed in a value transformer:
- (id)transformedValue: (id)value
{
NSString *siteURL = @http://example.org;;
NSString *siteDisplayString = (NSString *)value;
NSMutableAttributedString *hyperlink = [[NSMutableAttributedString alloc]
initWithString: siteDisplayString];
NSRange range = NSMakeRange(0, [siteDisplayString length]);
[hyperlink beginEditing];
[hyperlink addAttribute: NSLinkAttributeName
value: [NSURL URLWithString: siteURL]
range: range];
[hyperlink addAttribute: NSForegroundColorAttributeName
value: [NSColor blueColor]
range: range];
[hyperlink addAttribute: NSUnderlineStyleAttributeName
value: [NSNumber numberWithInt: NSSingleUnderlineStyle]
range: range];
[hyperlink addAttribute: NSFontAttributeName
value: [NSFont systemFontOfSize: [NSFont systemFontSizeForControlSize:
NSSmallControlSize]]
range: range];
[hyperlink endEditing];
return [[hyperlink copy] autorelease];
}
This value transformer is used to transform an array of strings. This
particular value transformer works well when transforming a single string for
use in an NSTextField. My problem is that this hyperlink won't respond to
mouseDown: events in the table view unless the cell is edited, which isn't the
behaviour I want (it should open the hyperlink with a single click, and the
table column shouldn't be editable). Am I missing something from this approach?
Failing that, is there a different (better?) approach of displaying a list of
hyperlinks?
Thanks in advance,

iPhone: CGPathMutable updating?
I am using a CGPathMutable to draw the hand on an analog clock:
minuteHandPath = CGPathCreateMutable();
CGPathMoveToPoint(minuteHandPath, nil, center.x, center.y);
CGPathAddLineToPoint(minuteHandPath, nil, center.x, center.y - 105);
CGPathCloseSubpath(minuteHandPath);
minuteHandLayer = [CAShapeLayer layer];
minuteHandLayer.path = minuteHandPath;
UIColor *myStrokeColor2 = [UIColor colorWithHue:0.6 saturation:0.24
brightness:0.71 alpha:1.0];
minuteHandLayer.strokeColor = myStrokeColor2.CGColor;
minuteHandLayer.lineWidth = 2.0;
[rootLayer addSublayer:minuteHandLayer];
In another method I would like to update this, say to change the color of
it. How can I do this? Presently I have tried:
- (void) myMethod {
minuteHandPath = CGPathCreateMutable();
//...
}
This gives me an error. I don't see a way yet to clear the path out and
redraw it using CGPathMoveToPoint, etc.
?

What's the right way to make the last (or only) table column fill the width of an NSTableView?
I'm working on the examples in the (fantastic) Hillegass book. The ZIP Inspector program works as advertised, but I'm annoyed by the fact that the filenames shown in the Table View get truncated due to the width of their column, which does not resize no matter how big I make the Table View. (The Table View resizes with the window, and I've set the column's Max Width to 1.) In case it matters, I'm running on Snow Leopard. I'm surprised that when a Table View contains only one column, Apple didn't design it to automatically fill the view. I have messed with the table's autoresize settings in every way I can think of, but despite what the NSTableViewColumnAutoresizingStyle http://developer.apple.com/mac/library/documentation/Cocoa/Reference/ApplicationKit/Classes/NSTableView_Class/Reference/Reference.html#//apple_ref/doc/c_ref/NSTableViewColumnAutoresizingStyle settings' descriptions say, NONE of them changes the width of the column automatically. I have come up with a solution involving KVO, but it was so difficult that I feel it must not be correct. Anyone know of a combination of IB settings that will really, truly make the last (or only) table column really, truly expand to fit the width of the table view? ___ Cocoa-dev mailing list (Cocoa-dev@lists.apple.com) Please do not post admin requests or moderator comments to the list.

My *guess* is that bindings were originally intended to use properties on both ends (note that the -[NSObject bind: ...] documentation *still* says this), but developed from there so that one end was something more general with its own namespace. To me, the Cocoa Bindings Reference document reads as if it were written under this incorrect assumption, and then not-quite-thoroughly corrected later. That's one piece of documentational obscurity. Binding *are* bi-directional, in the general sense that they're supposed to allow a property value to be modified from either end of the binding. However, the individual frameworks technology pieces from which bindings are constructed are all uni-directional. That's another piece of documentational obscurity. I only recently figured out that Cocoa binding != binding: although all Cocoa bindings are bindings, not all bindings are Cocoa bindings. That's a third piece of documentational obscurity -- although the fact that it took me 2 years to figure it out possibly reflects badly on me rather than the documentation. I now believe that Cocoa bindings are distinguished by (amongst other things) special (meaning, going beyond KVC) handling for key paths involving NSController objects, although this is undocumented apart from the occasional hint.

Re: Open new document from within another document.
The document doesn't pop up a new window. The delegate does get
called, but doc is nil. But, if I use [[NSWorkspace sharedWorkspace]

I just thought that I shouldn't have to rely on NSWorkspace.

the fileURLWithPath includes file:// that I don't want. Other

Yes, but you didn't say what happens. Does the delegate method get
invoked? Is 'doc' nil? What happens if you use the non-deprecated
'openDocumentWithContentsOfURL:display:error:' instead? Is there an
error returned? Shouldn't you be using 'fileURLWithPath:' instead of

setTailIndent problems
Hi, I try to set tailIndent for an NSMutableParagraphStyle attribute of an NSMutableAttributedString. The documentation says: If positive, this is the distance from the leading margin (for example, the left margin in left-to-right text). That is, it's the absolute line width. If 0 or negative, it's the distance from the trailing margin-the value is added to the line width. I found however that both positive and negative values are measured from the right margin, positive values make the text narrower, negative values make it wider. (The same seems to be true for kCTParagraphStyleSpecifierTailIndent in CoreText). Is it a bug in the documentation, in functionality or in my code?

Re: Drawing A Mutable String
Bizarre. I love bugs like this that it's easy to prove can't possibly be
happening. :)
The only desperate, farfetched suggestion I have is that somehow you've
accidentally created two instances of your GameView, only one of which is
visible, and for some reason when invalidStack is true, the correct drawing
*is* happening but in the wrong view. I would think this would be obvious if
it were the case, but still, what if you add the following line?
NSLog(@%@ -- %p, [self className], self);
Do you always see the same pointer value printed? As I said, farfetched, but I
see that like me, you like to test the most basic assumptions.
Also, I assume you aren't calling drawRect: directly, right? Or
setNeedsDisplay:NO, or any other dirty rect manipulation?
I'd be willing to look at the code, with complete respect for confidentiality,
if you're trusting enough to send it to me and at liberty to do so.

Quincy: rightAligned is a paragraph style object that's defined elsewhere in
drawRect and used in a few different places.
Fritz: All four things you mention are apparently true when I run it through
the debugger, so the if statement must be working. What's more, I can see
that it's working by inserting a printf inside (or after) the if and seeing
the fully appended string there.
How is it possible that I can append the value of infoStr, see that new
value at the console with printf, then draw it and get the old value?
Also, I can appended another string to infoStr after the invalidStack if
statement and it gets drawn (always, since it's not in an if), but the
string appended in the invalidStack if statement still doesn't get drawn.
They both show up in the console when I printf infoStr, but the invalidStack
piece in the middle of the string is left out when infoStr is drawn.
Gah!

So what is keeping it from drawing the appended text when it happens

works fine.
I don't understand why you say the if statement works fine. You say it
doesn't execute its body when you think its condition is true. That means it
doesn't work fine, doesn't it?
When you execute this code line-by-line in the debugger, do you see with
your own eyes:
• gameCon (assuming it is an object pointer) is not nil?
• gameCon.invalidStack is non-zero?
• Control ever reaches line 1?
• infoStr changes content?

Re: iPhone interruption with OpenAL?
The quick answer is no. Assuming iPhone OS 3.0+, you must suspend/disable the OpenAL context by making the current context NULL. And if you have an iPod Touch, you can use the Clock.app's alarm feature to help test interruptions. FYI, I cover iPhone audio and OpenAL in excruciating detail (attempting to be the authoritative OpenAL ref) in the book I am co-authoring: Beginning iPhone Games Development http://tinyurl.com/beginningiphonegamesdev (Hope to be finished and shipping very soon now.) As to not stray too far from the topic of Cocoa, I also have a simple example with the book that demonstrates how to use NSInvocation to queue messages sent to play sounds in OpenAL while the interruption is in progress with the intent to play them when the interruption ends.

This probably should be moved to the Core Audio list. But, in an attempt to solve this thread... First, when you use AudioSessionInitialize, the callback function you pass as a parameter is the interruption callback, not delegate methods.

It is technically an OpenAL error to destroy an active OpenAL context. This may also be impacting your startupOpenAL code because I don't know what will happen when you try to close the device that has an active context and then try to reopen the device and create a new context after these errors. A helpful thing to try is check OpenAL and AudioSession errors to see what's going on. As an aside, in iPhone OS 3.0+ doesn't require you to completely teardown and restart OpenAL.

Re: Question about garbage collection
On Sun, Jan 3, 2010 at 1:40 PM, Bill Bumgarner b...@mac.com wrote: The stack has to be conservatively scanned because the C ABI makes no guarantee about stack layout and the compiler is free to put values wherever it sees fit, Strictly speaking, the C ABI does not require that a function use the stack to hold temporary values (or, in C terms, variables that have an automatic storage duration / 'auto' storage class). In fact, the C language does not even require the use of a stack- the word stack does not even appear in the standard(s). including overwriting values with other values as a part of optimization (which is the same reason why you sometimes can't print local variable's values when debugging optimized code). This, on the other hand, is simply not true. While the C ABI does not cover this, the C language standard is very specific about such things. Section 5.1.2.3 from the C89 (ISO/IEC 9899:1990) standard states the following: An instance of each object with automatic storage duration is associated with each entry into its block. Such an object exists and retains its last-stored value during the execution of the block and while the block is suspended (by a call of a function or receipt of a signal). The C99 standard says essentially the same thing in section 6.2.4. Optimization walks a fine line between strict compliance with the abstract machine semantics specified in the C language standard and the actual semantics of the optimized code. Or, in the words of the C89 standard: An implementation might define a one-to-one correspondence between abstract and actual semantics: at every sequence point, the values of the actual objects would agree with those specified by the abstract semantics. The keyword volatile would then be redundant. Alternatively, an implementation might perform various optimizations within each translation unit, such that the actual semantics would agree with the abstract semantics only when making function calls across translation unit boundaries. In such an implementation, at the time of each function entry and function return where the calling function and the called function are in different translation units, the values of all externally linked objects and of all objects accessible via pointers therein would agree with the abstract semantics. Furthermore, at the time of each such function entry the values of the parameters of the called function and of all objects accessible via pointers therein would agree with the abstract semantics. It's fair to say that the majority of worthwhile optimizations result in some amount of strict abstract machine semantics, and so an awful lot of effort goes in to determining whether or not such an optimization can be done safely. It's not uncommon for a potential optimization to be culled from consideration because there exists an extremely remote possibility that such an optimization could cause the effects of the abstract machine semantics violation to become visible to the program. That's why function calls are the usual demarcation point- the compiler has complete control of the visible state (or, abstract machine semantics compliance) up to that point, but often can't control it past the function call. This is why the Cocoa GC system is broken when you turn the optimizer on. The gcc optimizer has decades worth of assumptions that it is in complete control of when the violations of strict abstract machine semantics become 'visible' to code that is out of its control (i.e., across a function call boundary). In a nutshell, it has a mental model that the code it's generating operates in something akin to single threaded mode. The GC collector runs asynchronously (at least, for most uses of the Cocoa collector) relative to the flow of execution for the code that the compiler is generating / optimizing. In short, the worst case scenario is that the collector runs after every single instruction of the optimized code emitted by the compiler. Unless, of course, sufficient analysis by the optimizer can /prove/ that the abstract machine violation caused by the optimization (i.e., reusing a stack slot) is indistinguishable in execution from the strictly conforming version of the code. Since the collector runs completely asynchronously relative to the current thread that the generated code will be executing in, this is essentially impossible (short of inserting some kind of GC mutex barrier or compiler assisted safe points (http://www.hpl.hp.com/personal/Hans_Boehm/gc/conservative.html , http://llvm.org/docs/GarbageCollection.html )). For all practical purposes, this means that all __strong and __weak qualified variables really should be automagically promoted to volatile qualified (i.e, NSString * volatile myString = ...). In fact, footnote 116 of the C99 (WG14/N1256 ISO/IEC 9899:TC3) is particularly apropos with accessed by an asynchronously interrupting function - '116: A volatile declaration may be used to

It's part of NSMenu's internal implementation. Most likely, you over-released some other object and then an NSExtraMIData was allocated at the same address. When you later try to use the dead over-released object, the message is sent to the NSExtraMIData object. -- Greg Parker gpar...@apple.com Runtime Wrangler ___ Cocoa-dev mailing list (Cocoa-dev@lists.apple.com) Please do not post admin requests or moderator comments to the list.

Re: Custom sheet question - which variable?
Thanks guys, I think I am understanding this more now. A few more questions... You can do whichever you like. I tend to wander objects up and down my various controller and delegate chains as I write code because where I think I want it, I sometimes don't want it. Ask yourself this, what is this sheet most closely tied to? Is it something which is going to be used in the delegate on some kind of delegate callback? If so, you probably want the delegate to own it. Or is it something the WindowController really wants to 'own'? If that's the case then let it own it. It's going to be possible to call the window from a menu selection, and not as a sheet under the main window, so at least for now, I'd like to keep the xib and window controller separated from the main AppDelegate. AppDelegate is going to control the main flow, but each NSWindowController is going to handle their own objects. If (in the code you posted) you're at that point in your AppDelegate then 'self', the thing you pass as owner, is the wrong type for the way you say you have your XIB configured. You need to make sure that the 'owner' is an object of the class you've told the XIB that File's Owner is; it can be what you like, but you have to be consistent. If you want it to be in your NSWindowController subclass, then for 'owner' you need to pass that window controller subclass object and the window you require will end up bound to some properly (you define) of that, then you pass [ yourWindowController thePropertyYouChose ] as the window to your sheet method. So I do want the NSWindowController subclass as File's Owner, which means I need a reference to the NSWindowController in the AppDelegate class. So, in the AppDelegate.h file, I have MyNSWindowControllerSubclass *objectWindowController, and in AppDelegate.m, I initialize it, right? *objectWindowController = [[MyNSWindowControllerSubclass alloc] initWithWindowNibName:@MyObject]; In what AppDelegate method do I need to run that code? applicationDidFinishLaunching? init? And don't forget, in your XIB .. you need to make the connection to the property in File's Owner. Oh yes it's easily said but so easily overlooked and you'll be asking why your sheet doesn't come up after you loaded the NIB and it will be because the outlet is nil because you didn't actually hook it up graphically in IB. Haha, been there, done that! I was clicking the Close button I'd hooked up and wondering why the function was calling but the window wasn't closing. ;) ___ Cocoa-dev mailing list (Cocoa-dev@lists.apple.com) Please do not post admin requests or moderator comments to the list.

Re: Custom sheet question - which variable?
In what AppDelegate method do I need to run that code? applicationDidFinishLaunching? init? You don't need to do that before the window is needed; you can do it from the menu item, or from a method of the controller of the window on which the sheet will be shown. -- Scott Ribe scott_r...@killerbytes.com http://www.killerbytes.com/ (303) 722-0567 voice ___ Cocoa-dev mailing list (Cocoa-dev@lists.apple.com) Please do not post admin requests or moderator comments to the list.

Blurry UILabel text as programmatic subview of UITableViewCell's contentView
I am adding a UILabel instance as a subview of my custom UITableViewCell instance's contentView property. When I select the cell, the row is highlighted blue, except for the background of the label. The label text is sharp, but the background is white for the bounds of the contentView. When I set the label and contentView backgroundColor property to [UIColor clearColor], the UILabel text becomes blurry. How do I set the label and/or contentView background color to be clear, to allow the row highlight color to come through, while still keeping the label text sharp? One suggestion I read elsewhere was to round() the label's frame struct values, but this did not have any effect. Thanks for any advice.___ Cocoa-dev mailing list (Cocoa-dev@lists.apple.com) Please do not post admin requests or moderator comments to the list.

Table object not selected on launch
When my application launches, I have a custom BackgroundView that takes the role of first responder. Within the main window, I have a NSScrollView that contains core data objects in an NSArrayController. I want the objects to load in the table on launch, but I don't want any objects to be *selected* upon launch. I've looked in IB and the docs and can't figure out which attribute to set to make this possible. Thoughts?
