My NSPanel in IB has "release when closed" unchecked.
"Visible at Launch" is also unchecked.
I fade the NSPanel in with the following (activated by dragToButton) and it works fine
- (IBAction)dragToFile:(id)sender
{
DragImageView *accessory = [[[DragImageView alloc] initWithFrame:NSMakeRect(0,0,71,63)] autorelease];
[accessory setMainContentFolder:self.mainInstallFolder];
[self.dragToFile setFloatingPanel:YES];
[self.dragToFile makeKeyWindow];
[dragImage setMainContentFolder:self.mainInstallFolder];
NSRect frame = dragToFile.frame;
NSRect mainFrame = self.window.frame;
frame.origin.x = mainFrame.origin.x + 550;
frame.origin.y = mainFrame.origin.y + 360;
[dragToFile setFrame:frame display:NO];
//set fade anim params
NSDictionary *fadeInDict = [NSDictionary dictionaryWithObjectsAndKeys:
dragToFile, NSViewAnimationTargetKey,
NSViewAnimationFadeInEffect, NSViewAnimationEffectKey,
nil];
//create fade instance
NSViewAnimation *fadeIn = [[NSViewAnimation alloc] initWithViewAnimations:[NSArray arrayWithObjects: fadeInDict, nil]];
[fadeIn startAnimation];
[fadeIn release];
But if I close the window on the window's toolbar it triggers the following from a windowWillClose notification
- (void) dragToFileWindowDidClose:(id)sender
{
[dragToFile setAlphaValue:0.0]; //make nspanel 0 alpha so it can fade in again
[dragtoButton setState:NSOffState];
}
The window closes but completely disappears and doesn't come back on the next dragToButton click.
The NSPanel has the following property
#property (retain) IBOutlet NSPanel *dragToFile;
So I'm pretty sure that the window is getting released, but I dont know why because I deselected that option.
Try using [dragToFile setReleasedWhenClosed:NO]; manually, first.
Thanks for your suggestions. I solved it.
Instead of [self.dragToFile makeKeyWindow];
[self.dragToFile makeKeyAndOrderFront:dragToFile];
Not sure why this works and the other doesn't, but it works flawlessly now.
Thanks.

i have an app and i try it on multi screen. I have two screens and i want to disable focus on the second screen when the both sreens are enterFullscreen, i want to force the focus on the main screen.
I tried solutions i found here but doesn't change anything.
following code shows how i enterFullScreen for my mainWindow and my second Window
[self.window.contentView enterFullScreenMode:[[NSScreen screens] firstObject] withOptions:nil];
[windowArray insertObject:self.window atIndex:0];
NSRect screenRect;
NSArray *screenArray = [NSScreen screens];
for (NSInteger index = 1; index < [screenArray count]; index++)
{
NSScreen *screen = [screenArray objectAtIndex: index];
screenRect = CGRectMake(0, 0, screen.frame.size.width , screen.frame.size.height);
NSWindow *window = [[NSWindow alloc] initWithContentRect:screenRect styleMask:NSBorderlessWindowMask backing:NSBackingStoreBuffered defer:NO screen:screen];
[window.contentView setWantsLayer:YES];
window.contentView.layer.backgroundColor = [NSColor blackColor].CGColor;
[window.contentView enterFullScreenMode:[[NSScreen screens] objectAtIndex:index] withOptions:nil];
[windowArray addObject:window];
}
When both screens are in fullScreen mode, when i click on the second window i have the focus on the second window (normal event) but i want to disable that and force to put the focus on my main Window. I tried to disable mouse event on the second screen but.. not working.
If someone can help me ! thanks in advance
I don't know if it's the best answer for you, but you can iterate through all the subviews of the content view, and call setEnabled: on all of them. You can see a better and complete answer here: https://stackoverflow.com/a/16336624/2923506
for (NSView *object in [self.window.contentView subviews]) {
// Check it out the object
// set enable to NO [(id)object setEnabled:NO];
}
I'm writing some glue GUI code for a scripting language implementation, and need to be able to programmatically create windows and intercept the key and mouse commands on their views. I've subclassed both NSWindow and NSView.
When I open a window for the first time, I get a window with a title bar and controls. If I close this window and open another, the controls and title don't appear in the new window. However, if I click where the controls should be, the new window (with invisible controls) still closes.
Is there something I'm doing in my window initialization that could cause this?
+ (HMSLWindow*)hmslWindowWithTitle:(NSString *)title frame:(NSRect)frame {
HMSLWindow* hmslWindow = [[HMSLWindow alloc]
initWithContentRect: frame
styleMask: NSMiniaturizableWindowMask | NSTitledWindowMask | NSClosableWindowMask
backing: NSBackingStoreBuffered
defer: YES];
hmslWindow.title = [title retain];
[hmslWindow setContentView:[[HMSLView alloc] initWithFrame:frame]];
hmslWindow.delegate = [[HMSLWindowDelegate alloc] init];
[hmslWindow cascadeTopLeftFromPoint:NSZeroPoint];
[hmslWindow makeKeyAndOrderFront:self];
[[HMSLWindow windowDictionary] setObject:hmslWindow forKey:[NSNumber numberWithInteger:hmslWindow.windowNumber]];
return hmslWindow;
}
- (void)close {
[[HMSLWindow windowDictionary]
removeObjectForKey:[NSNumber numberWithInteger:self.windowNumber]];
[self.contentView autorelease];
[self.delegate autorelease];
[self.title autorelease];
[super close];
}
First window:
Second window (contentView with white background is correct, but the titlebar is now empty):
i am new to programming, objective-c (and stackoverflow). I'm learning and moving forward very slowly ;) but then I ran into a problem, which google couldn't solve. I have a single window and a NSview and then added a mouse event that should draw the coordinates into my view, but it doesn't. The funny thing is: it is drawn when the mouse moves over the window buttons of my apps window...
- (void)drawRect:(NSRect)dirtyRect {
NSPoint imagePos = NSMakePoint(0, 0);
NSImage *aImage = [NSImage imageNamed:#"mw_bg01.png"];
[aImage dissolveToPoint:imagePos fraction:1.0];
}
- (void)mouseDown:(NSEvent*)theEvent;{
mouseLoc = [NSEvent mouseLocation];
mousePosX = mouseLoc.x;mousePosY = mouseLoc.y;
NSString* mouseString = [NSString stringWithFormat:#"%d", mousePosX];
NSPoint textPoint = NSMakePoint(5, 5);
NSMutableDictionary *textAttrib = [[NSMutableDictionary alloc] init];
[textAttrib setObject:[NSFont fontWithName:#"Helvetica Light" size:10]
forKey:NSFontAttributeName];
[textAttrib setObject:[NSColor grayColor] forKey:NSForegroundColorAttributeName];
[mouseString drawAtPoint:textPoint withAttributes:textAttrib];
}
I don't know how to go on, any suggestions? Thanks!
You shouldn't do drawing in the -mouseDown: method. Rather, you must do all your drawing in -drawRect: (or methods that you call from -drawRect:). Try something like this:
#interface MyView ()
#property NSPoint lastMousePoint;
#end
#implementation MyView
- (void)drawLastMousePoint
{
NSString *mouseString = NSStringFromPoint(self.lastMousePoint);
NSPoint textPoint = NSMakePoint(5, 5);
NSMutableDictionary *textAttrib = [[NSMutableDictionary alloc] init];
[textAttrib setObject:[NSFont fontWithName:#"Helvetica Light" size:10]
forKey:NSFontAttributeName];
[textAttrib setObject:[NSColor grayColor] forKey:NSForegroundColorAttributeName];
[mouseString drawAtPoint:textPoint withAttributes:textAttrib];
}
- (void)drawRect:(NSRect)dirtyRect
{
NSPoint imagePos = NSMakePoint(0, 0);
NSImage *aImage = [NSImage imageNamed:#"mw_bg01.png"];
[aImage dissolveToPoint:imagePos fraction:1.0];
[self drawLastMousePoint];
}
- (void)mouseDown:(NSEvent*)theEvent;
{
self.lastMousePoint = [theEvent locationInWindow];
[self setNeedsDisplay:YES];
}
#end
When you get a mouse down event, you simply store the location of the mouse down. The drawing is done in -drawLastMousePoint which you call in your -drawRect: method. Since you know you need to redraw anytime the mouse is clicked, you call -setNeedsDisplay: to inform the view that it needs to be redrawn. Note that the redraw doesn't happen immediately, rather, it will happen the next time through the run loop. In other words, you're saying "hey, something changed, and I need to draw my view's contents again. Please call -drawRect: again as soon as possible!"
One other note: +[NSEvent mouseLocation] is really designed for getting the current mouse location outside the event stream. Typically, in a -mouseDown: method, you call -locationInWindow on the NSEvent passed as the argument to the method. If you need to convert to local/view coordinates, you should call [self convertPoint:[theEvent locationInWindow] fromView:nil];.
I've created the app which sometimes shows up an overlay with label and textbox. It works nice, but I need it to work even with other apps are in full-screen mode and active.
For overlay, I've create custom window class and overridden canBecomeKeyWindow method to let borderless window become the key window (simply returns YES).
So it works, but when I run e.g. Minecraft, and then make it full screen, my overlay can override it. But I can't type in NSTextField in the overlay. How to fix it?
I'm creating an overlay like this:
[[NSWorkspace sharedWorkspace] hideOtherApplications];
NSRect frame = [[NSScreen mainScreen] frame];
_fadedWindow = [[CustonWindow alloc] initWithContentRect:frame
styleMask:NSBorderlessWindowMask
backing:NSBackingStoreBuffered
defer:NO];
[_fadedWindow setAcceptsMouseMovedEvents:YES];
[_fadedWindow setOpaque:NO];
[_fadedWindow setLevel:CGShieldingWindowLevel()];
[_fadedWindow setBackgroundColor:[NSColor colorWithDeviceRed:0.0 green:0.0 blue:0.0 alpha:0.8]];
NSApplicationPresentationOptions options = NSApplicationPresentationDisableProcessSwitching + NSApplicationPresentationHideDock + NSApplicationPresentationDisableForceQuit + NSApplicationPresentationDisableSessionTermination + NSApplicationPresentationDisableHideApplication;
[NSApp setPresentationOptions:options];
_fadedWindow.alphaValue = 0;
[_fadedWindow orderFrontRegardless];
[[_fadedWindow animator] setAlphaValue:1];
[_fadedWindow toggleFullScreen:self];
[_fadedWindow makeKeyAndOrderFront:self];
[NSApp activateIgnoringOtherApps:YES];
[_fadedWindow orderFront:self];
But still, I can't seem to populate overlay's NSTextField with keyboard input.
Try this. Create a subclass for _fadedWindow. Then put this in:
-(BOOL)canBecomeKeyWindow {
return YES;
}
I've got a custom window popping up when an NSStatusItem is clicked. The code is based on MAAtachedwindow. Everything is working great but I can't figure out a way to dismiss the window when the user clicks on something else like another status bar item, or another app.
Here's my code for creating the window:
statusItem = [[[NSStatusBar systemStatusBar] statusItemWithLength:width] retain];
//setup custom status menu view
CGFloat height = [[NSStatusBar systemStatusBar] thickness];
NSRect viewFrame = NSMakeRect(0.0f, 0.0f, width, height);
statusMenuView = [[[_ISStatusMenuView alloc] initWithFrame:viewFrame] retain];
statusMenuView.offset = aOffset;
statusItem.view = statusMenuView;
//setup the window to show when clicked
NSRect contentRect = NSZeroRect;
contentRect.size = aView.frame.size;
statusMenuWindow = [[[NSWindow alloc] initWithContentRect:contentRect
styleMask:NSBorderlessWindowMask
backing:NSBackingStoreBuffered
defer:NO] retain];
[statusMenuWindow setLevel:NSPopUpMenuWindowLevel];
[statusMenuWindow setBackgroundColor:[NSColor clearColor]];
[statusMenuWindow setMovableByWindowBackground:NO];
[statusMenuWindow setExcludedFromWindowsMenu:YES];
[statusMenuWindow setOpaque:NO];
[statusMenuWindow setHasShadow:NO];
[statusMenuWindow useOptimizedDrawing:YES];
[[statusMenuWindow contentView] addSubview:aView];
[statusMenuWindow setDelegate:self];
statusMenuView.statusMenuWindow = statusMenuWindow;
And here is how I'm showing the window:
- (void)centerView{
NSRect menuFrame = self.window.frame;
NSRect windowFrame = self.statusMenuWindow.frame;
NSPoint menuPoint = NSMakePoint(NSMidX(menuFrame), NSMinY(menuFrame));
menuPoint.x -= windowFrame.size.width*0.5f;
menuPoint.y -= windowFrame.size.height+self.offset;
[self.statusMenuWindow setFrameOrigin:menuPoint];
[self.statusMenuWindow makeKeyAndOrderFront:self];
}
I was hoping the windowDidResignKey delegate method would do the trick but it doesn't go off with this configuration. The delegate is working because windowDidMove does run.
- (void)windowDidResignKey:(NSNotification *)notification{
NSLog(#"windowDidResignKey");
[statusMenuView hideView];
}
- (void)windowDidResignMain:(NSNotification *)notification{
NSLog(#"windowDidResignMain");
}
- (void)windowDidMove:(NSNotification *)notification{
NSLog(#"windowDidMove");
}
So to recap, how can I hide my custom window when the user clicks on anything else, the way the standard status bar menus work?
Edit
After looking at the Popup example the only thing I was missing was I had to subclass NSPanel and make it so it could become the key window.
#interface Panel : NSPanel
#end
#implementation Panel
- (BOOL)canBecomeKeyWindow{
return YES;
}
#end
You need to make sure your window can become the key window, and call your window's orderOut: method when it resigns key. You should be using a custom NSWindowController, if you are not already, in which case you would just call its "close" method to dismiss your window.
Instead of posting a bunch of code, I would suggest you just look at this excellent, recently-posted example of attaching a window to a status item:
