NSWindow animate size change new subview with auto layout - objective-c

I have a NSWindowController containing several NSViewController. The windowController displays the view of the first viewController as a subView of the main window.
On a button click the windowController adds the next viewControllers view as subView, adds some layout constraints and animates them so that the first view moves out and the next view moves in. After the animation the first view is removed from its superView.
[nextController setLeftLayoutConstraint:nextLeft];
// ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ custom category'd property
[containerView addSubview:nextView];
[containerView addConstraints:#[nextWidth, nextHeight, nextTop, nextLeft]];
[NSAnimationContext runAnimationGroup:^(NSAnimationContext *context) {
[context setTimingFunction:[CAMediaTimingFunction functionWithName:kCAMediaTimingFunctionEaseOut]];
[context setDuration:0.5];
[[nextLeft animator] setConstant:[self leftOffset]];
[[[[self currentViewController] view] animator] setAlphaValue:-0.25]; // negative alpha to shift the timing
[[[[self currentViewController] leftLayoutConstraint] animator] setConstant:-NSWidth(containerView.frame)];
// ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ custom category'd property
} completionHandler:^{
[[[self currentViewController] view] setAlphaValue:1.0];
[[[self currentViewController] view] removeFromSuperview];
[[self currentViewController] removeFromParentViewController];
_currentViewController = nextController;
}];
Now the second view is much taller than the first so it changes the windows hight as well.
Unfortunately this window frame change is not animated and the window pops ugly in the right size.
I tried getting the next views hight first to then animate all constraints or something like this. Unfortunately the views are not in the correct size before the animation is done.
Is there any way to animate the window change as well?

Prevent the user from manually scrolling NSScrollview?

I am using an NSScrollview to scroll programatically. I have hidden the horizental and vertical scrollers but the user is still able to scroll using the mouse wheel.I want to prevent thismanual scrolling.
This is how I am doing the automatic scrolling
- (IBAction)scrollToMidAnimated:(id)sender
{
[NSAnimationContext beginGrouping];
[[NSAnimationContext currentContext] setDuration:2.0];
NSClipView* clipView = [self.scrollView contentView];
NSPoint newOrigin = [clipView bounds].origin;
newOrigin.y = [self.scrollView contentView].frame.size.height/2.0;
[[clipView animator] setBoundsOrigin:newOrigin];
[NSAnimationContext endGrouping];
}
It works perfectly but I want to prevent the user from manual scrolling(I only want to scroll programatically).Is there any way to do that?
Try like this create custom scrollview class and then include below piece of code:-
- (void)scrollWheel:(NSEvent *)theEvent
{
[[self nextResponder] scrollWheel:theEvent];
}
Finally got the solution.I subclassed NSScrollView and overrided its method scrollwheel and left it empty.
- (void)scrollWheel:(NSEvent *)theEvent
{
// Do nothing
}
if you did hide the scrollers and prevent user scrolling, are you sure you want NSScrollView at all in the first place? Just use NSClipView and animate just like you are doing. No need to subclass and override scrollWheel:. Its a little more cleaner and concise.

NSLayoutConstraint behaving differently when drawing to NSBitmapImageRep

I have this control called ITNavigationView on Github.
It's smoothly animating from one NSView to another by caching and adding them to a NSImageView.
When caching the view, a subview centred in the x axis will be pulled exactly 1 pixel to the right.
If I instead add a leading constraint, this doesn't happen.
How can I prevent this from happening?
To cache the view, I'm using this code:
- (NSImage *)imageOfView:(NSView *)view {
[view layoutSubtreeIfNeeded];
[view setNeedsUpdateConstraints:YES];
[view updateConstraintsForSubtreeIfNeeded];
NSBitmapImageRep* rep = [view bitmapImageRepForCachingDisplayInRect:view.bounds];
[view cacheDisplayInRect:view.bounds toBitmapImageRep:rep];
return [[NSImage alloc] initWithCGImage:[rep CGImage] size:view.bounds.size];
}
EDIT
Also worth noting is that this only happens when the superview has an odd width.

UIScrollView remove subview animated

What I have:
Basically I have collection of UIViews presented in horizontal scrollView. UIScrollView have paging enabled and each item is not full screen so I can see part of previous and next view based on this.
Each view have delete button on itself.
What I need:
I need to find good idea to animate reloading UIScrollView content after removing one of the subview. As I thought about it there will be 4 different kinds of deletion:
1. deletion of last view
2. deletion of first view
3. deletion of middle view - hardest one
4. deletion of only view - easiest one, just animation of view disappearing
I need some suggestions/solutions.
Thanks,
Michal
edit:
Ok, I havent implemented it fully.
Here is reload method:
- (void)loadScrollView{
for(UIView* view in [_scrollView subviews])
{
[view removeFromSuperview];
}
CGRect frame = self.scrollView.frame;
frame.origin.x = 0;
frame.origin.y = 0;
int i = 0;
_scrollView.clipsToBounds = NO;
_scrollView.pagingEnabled = YES;
_scrollView.showsHorizontalScrollIndicator = NO;
for(MPContact* contact in self.items)
{
frame.origin.x = self.scrollView.frame.size.width*i;
MyView *view = [[[NSBundle mainBundle] loadNibNamed:#"MyView" owner:self options:nil] objectAtIndex:0];
[view setFrame:frame];
i++;
[view.nameAndSurnameLabel setText:#"view text"];
[view setDelegate:self];
[self.scrollView addSubview:view];[self.viewsArray addObject:view];
}[self.scrollView setContentSize:CGSizeMake(frame.size.width*[self.items count], frame.size.height)];}
Each MyView have delete button with delegate, delegate removes view from viewsArray and run this method for now.
I suggest you to use + (void)animateWithDuration:(NSTimeInterval)duration animations:(void (^)(void))animations completion:(void (^)(BOOL finished))completion method of UIView class. Just get your UIView that you want to delete, from UIScrollView and set view.alpha = 0 in animations block. In completion block remove this UIView from UIScrollView, using removeFromSuperView method. Setting alpha to 0 will make fade animation.
EDIT:
Iterate all your views you want to move and change it's x coordinate.
for(UIView *view in scrollview.subviews)
{
[UIView animateWithDuration:0.1 animations:^{
[view setFrame:CGRectMake(view.x-(/*HERE YOU NEED TO PUT WIDTH OF TOUR DELETING VIEW*/),view.y,view.width,view.heigh)];
}
completion:^(BOOL finished){
//remove view from superview and change your uiscrollview's content offset.
}];
}

Replacing a NSSplitView subview with Core Animation

I'm trying to figure out how to animate switching (replacing) subviews in a vertically-configured, 2-view NSSplitView. I've got it semi-working using the following methods in my NSSplitView subclass:
To set up the animation:
- (void)awakeFromNib {
// set delegate
[self setWantsLayer:YES];
CATransition *transition = [CATransition animation];
[transition setType:kCATransitionPush];
[transition setSubtype:kCATransitionFromBottom];
[transition setDuration:1.0];
[self setAnimations:[NSDictionary dictionaryWithObject:transition
forKey:#"subviews"]];
}
And to perform it:
- (void)replaceRightView:(NSView *)newView animated:(BOOL)animate {
NSRect currentSize = [[[self subviews] objectAtIndex:1] frame];
[newView setFrame:currentSize];
if (animate) {
[[self animator] replaceSubview:[[self subviews] objectAtIndex:1]
with:newView];
} else {
[self replaceSubview:[[self subviews] objectAtIndex:1]
with:newView];
}
}
However, this code has the effect of pushing the entire NSSplitView off, rather than just the subview on the right side of the split.
Is there a way to animate just the subview transition? Perhaps I'm using the wrong animation key ("subviews")? Other animation methods would be fine too.
Thanks!
It's probably not the cleanest way, but I ended up using an NSView 'container' subclass with custom addSubview: and replaceSubview:withView: methods that modify the new subview's frame to match the container view's frame, which is then structured into the NSSplitView subview I wanted to animate. I then setup the CATransition on the container view, and everything worked as I wanted.

How to pass scrolling input to a different view

This site really is awesome.
I have what is hopefully a simple question this time. I would like to pass any scrolling input from the user (could be wheel, touchpad, etc) to an NSScrollView which contains my own subviews.
At the moment if the user scrolls just on the documentView (outside of my subviews' frames) the scroll works normally but if they scroll while the cursor is over a subview nothing happens. So basically I'd like to have the subview recognise the scroll event and pass it back to the scroll view.
Any help is greatly appreciated.
Cheers.
EDIT:
Here is the code I'm using to add the subviews to the documentView
_milestoneView and _activityView are both NSView subclasses which have a corresponding nib (created with instantiateNibWithOwner and objects hooked up accordingly) they contain a NSTextField, PXListView and some have a NSProgressIndicator.
-(void)useProject:(NSNumber *)projectId
{
[self resetView];
NSRect bounds = [[self view] bounds];
NSRect defaultFrame = NSMakeRect(20, NSMaxY(bounds)-93, NSMaxX(bounds)-20, 50);
//Prepare the milestone view
if (_milestoneView == nil)
_milestoneView = [MilestoneView milestoneViewFromNibWithFrame:defaultFrame withProject:[BCLocalFetch projectForId:projectId]];
[_milestoneView reloadList];
//Prepare the activity view
if (_activityView == nil)
_activityView = [ActivityView activityViewFromNibWithFrame:defaultFrame withProject:[BCLocalFetch projectForId:projectId]];
[self refresh];
}
I then use the refresh method to reposition them as the content sizes vary so I wanted to have a separate method.
-(void)refresh
{
//Position the milestones first
[_milestoneView setFrameOrigin:NSMakePoint(20, NSMaxY([[self view] bounds])-[_milestoneView frame].size.height-60)];
if ([[_milestoneView milestones] count] > 0)
[[self view] addSubview:_milestoneView];
//Now the activity view
[_activityView setFrameOrigin:NSMakePoint(20, [_milestoneView frame].origin.y-[_activityView frame].size.height-20)];
[[self view] addSubview:_activityView];
[self autosizeView];
}
-(void)autosizeView
{
//Resize the view to accommodate all subviews
NSRect oldFrame = [[self view] frame];
CGFloat lastY = [_activityView frame].origin.y;
if (lastY < 0) {
CGFloat newHeight = oldFrame.size.height + (-lastY);
[[self view] setFrameSize:NSMakeSize(oldFrame.size.width, newHeight)];
}
[[NSNotificationCenter defaultCenter] postNotificationName:#"BBContentDidResizeNotification" object:self];
}
Ok so I came back to the issue and finally got it worked out. The implementation was actually quite simple.
I added a property to PXListView to point to the NSScrollView that is to be scrolled.
I then implemented NSResponder's scrollWheel: method like this:
-(void)scrollWheel:(NSEvent *)theEvent
{
//Pass scrolling to the superview
[_scrollHandler scrollWheel:theEvent];
}
And all is well!
