Trying to find a way to tickle a run loop into returning in Mac OS
10.6, I wrote another little tool which, instead of spawning a short-
duration NSTask, sends a message to a mach port which has been added
to the current run loop. To my surprise, result is the same. Running

Hey All - quick question,
I have a custom search NSControl that I attach an NSTextField onto. I
can't figure out why the NSTextField isn't drawing like normal (cursor
blink), the cursor is solid black. My control overrides some mouse
methods as I change parts of the control when mouse over etc.
Do you have an alternate image as well? I believe it's both or
nothing.
No ... but
1. all the other buttons in my GUI with push-on / push-off work just
fine without an alternate image, and
2. the doc says A button’s image is displayed when the button is in
its normal state, or all the

In some cases my application needs to modify and get the user defaults

You can create an ivar in class B that refer to class A instance. Set
that ivar, when class B instance is created.
So, you can call the methods in class A by using that instance,
without searching through the view controllers array.
Besides, you can also change the title before class B is pushed.

It sounds like the graphics context composite mode is set incorrectly.
Try looking into that.

Okay, I'm feeling a little foolish. I've been so focused on iPhone
stuff for the last year and a half that I either didn't notice or just
plain forgot that NSView now has a method for displaying in full

First, a bit about terminology.
What you are talking about is not observing child entities. You wish
to observe related instances (NSManagedObject or subclass thereof).
The entity describes the instance, but is not the instance.

Hey,
I want to get the favicon of a URL address, but don't actually need
any of the page's content. Is there an efficient way to do this
besides hammering the site for this info? This image isn't critical,
so something that works most of the time should be fine.
Thanks,

Thanks for such a speedy response. (and on a Sunday afternoon too!)
That code is a fairly complex set of interlocking methods.
Why would the construction of this NSMutableDictionary have anything
to do with this error?

In order to answer your request, I've gone back through the code that
generates myBaseSettings
essentially it is:
NSMutableDictionary *localDict = [NSMutableDictionary
dictionaryWithCapacity:70];
[localDict setObject:[self generateInterestingValue1]
forKey:@interestingKey];
Okey-dokey, I'm back with more information. I have finally tracked down the
source of my Core Animation crash on 10.5 (the problem, you may recall, is
that it's crashing on 10.5 but working just fine on 10.6). And it has
nothing to do with my build settings after all.

Thanks for all of the guidance! I have found the issue.

The best engineered approach would probably be to load the page up
into a WebView, BUT use the WebResourceLoadDelegate to stop it wasting
time downloading any resource that isn't the favicon. But if it isn't

I'm not sure when you _would_ want to use CGImageCreateCopy, actually.
