Hi,

In days of yore, when sending an AppleEvent with AESend, you could use an AE idleProc to allow for cancelling the event if you had reason to bail. The parameters also pass you an EventRecord and you are expected to handle window update events.

Now, I have a Cocoa app that has to send an AppleEvent with no timeout specified. It should only bail if the event fails or the user cancels. Apart from using an AE idle proc, I can’t see how to make this happen.

All of my relevant AE occurs on the same subthread. That thread is blocked waiting for AESend to return with a reply.

I assume the idle proc is called on the main thread. I have no idea what to do with the EventRecord, if I should do anything that concerns Cocoa.

In my Cocoa app, can I use this idle proc and just ignore the EventRecord? I don’t see a Cocoa API that would allow me to pass the event to it. Is this even relevant without Carbon windows?

Maybe there is a better way to go at this. Can someone de-fuzz things here from me?

(i’m not sure if this is the right list for this question or not, as i am developing a cocoa application using IOKit. if this isn’t the right list, could someone please tell me the right list. thanx.)

i’m just starting on developing a core data document base app that talks to a usb device. sometimes, but not always, i’m getting crashes when i’m either releasing my IOUSBDeviceInterface300 or my IOUSBInterfaceInterface300. the error i get on the console is:

malloc: *** error for object 0×102662970: incorrect checksum for freed object – object was probably modified after being freed. *** set a breakpoint in malloc_error_break to debug

and i have set that breakpoint. the stack trace at the time is:

#0 0×83d7aa51 in malloc_error_break #1 0×83d75ad0 in szone_error #2 0×83cb5571 in tiny_free_list_add_ptr #3 0×83cb28cf in szone_free #4 0×025876ba in IOUSBDeviceClass::~IOUSBDeviceClass #5 0×02586f0d in IOUSBIUnknown::release #6 0×00001f1a in -[BaseUSBInterface releaseResources] at BaseUSBInterface.mm:154

in response to: err = (*(self.interface))->Release( self.interface); or err = (*(self.device))->Release( self.device);

where interface and device are declared as follows: @property ( assign, nonatomic) IOUSBDeviceInterface300** device; @property ( assign, nonatomic) IOUSBInterfaceInterface300** interface; and synthesized. i am running in 64 bit mode and have NOT declared my own iVars for these.

these errors don’t happen every time and i’ve yet to be able to determine a pattern that causes them. i realize that this is some sort of memory corruption problem, but i’m at a loss as to how to find it. i do have NSZombieEnabled set to YES and CFZombieLevel set to 3.

can anyone one offer suggestions as to how to find this problem.

thanx, ken

HI: This is very strange problem. This code works fine with OS 2.2 but does not work with OS 3.x Can someone point me why it failed? Your help will be very much appreciated. Best regards -Agha

But why?

// NumberLayer.h #import #import

@interface NumberLayer: CALayer { } @end

and now NumberLayer.m file

#import “NumberLayer.h”

@implementation NumberLayer @end

“.objc_class_name_CALayer”, referenced from: “.objc_class_name_NumberLayer in NumberLayer.o symble(s) not found collect2: Id returned 1 exit status

Build failed (1 error)

I save the number of results returned in either Bing or Google. I can see the setting in their cookies: NR=100 for Google, NRSLT=50 for Bing. I can go in and out of these search engines and this preference setting remains.

But if I leave Firefox and restart it, I look at the Cookies and their are all gone. When I start the search engine(s), they initialize cookie(s). But the results settings are not there. They appear once I set preferences during that iteration of Firefox; they remain while I am in Firefox.

I have it set to “keep ’til they expire” and have no exceptions set.

IE works correctly.

This problem begin with FF 3.5.

I am assuming it is not a corrupted cookie problem since the Show Cookies is empty when I first open Firefox.

Thanks for any help.

John

Folks,

I have searched the archives and done a bunch of googling, but I cannot find an answer to this.

I want to get a list of all the application-defined keywords, so that I can avoid writing scripts that inadvertently use these. I want to do something like this:

tell application “Some App” set keylist to keywords of application return keylist end tell

Is there a way to do this? How?

Thanks – Dave.S

To make this post more accurate I’m sending this update. I had to put in “using terms from” in order to get it to compile.

on clicked theObject set App10 to “Adobe Illustrator 10″ set AppCS3 to “Adobe Illustrator”

using terms from application “Adobe Illustrator” tell application AppCS3 activate make new document end tell end using terms from

using terms from application “Adobe Illustrator 10″ tell application App10 activate make new document end tell end using terms from end clicked

I’m looking for a simple NSTabView tutorial. I’ve found references to the MultipleNIBTabView tutorial but I can’t find it in the current Xcode Examples area or at the Developer site. Anyone know where it is located, or whether there is another tutorial around?

Thanks,

Tom Wetmore

Hi, All,

I can’t find how I could change the focus ring color, for example, of NSPathControl. The IB only lets me disable it. Is the color defined by the color scheme hardly?

Thanks.
