Cursor rect on top of NSTextView - objective-c

I have implemented an iOS style NSScrollView by adding a knob subview to the NSScrollView. The implementation works just fine except for one thing - the cursor change over the knob view.
I am using NSViews -resetCursorRects method to setup the cursor rectangle.
- (void)resetCursorRects {
[self addCursorRect:self.knobFrame cursor:[NSCursor pointingHandCursor]];
}
This works too, but the Cursor is immediately reset to the IBeam style as soon as I cross the cursor rect boundary.
How can I prevent this? Has it something to do with the knob view not being opaque?
UPDATE 0:
I also tried to implement it with a normal NSScroller and forcing the scroller to overlay the NSClipView in the scroll view's -tile method, but it seems regardless of what view is placed on top of the NSTextView it always enforces the IBeam cursor type.
UPDATE 1:
I found this mailing list entry that suggests overriding the NSTextViews -mouseMoved, but since this is not a satisfying solution for a robust custom NSScrollView implementation its not really an option.

Setting up an NSTrackingArea in the NSScroller with the NSTrackingMouseMoved option set and implementing
- (void)mouseMoved:(NSEvent *)theEvent {
[[NSCursor pointingHandCursor] set];
}
does the trick.

Layer-Backed NSControl Still Calls NSCell Drawing Routines

Context:
Apple has "soft-deprecated" NSCell on macOS. I'm trying to reduce the use of it in my custom NSControl subclasses and, instead, use CALayers to handle my drawing. To do this, I make my NSButton subclass layer-backed:
self.wantsLayer = YES;
And then I attempt to handle my drawing using the "updateLayer" path instead of "drawRect":
- (BOOL) wantsUpdateLayer {
return YES;
}
- (void) updateLayer {
// Change layer background/border colors if pressed, disabled, etc.
// Change text color of a CATextLayer sublayer for button's title.
}
The Problem:
If I use -updateLayer, the NSCell still receives drawing commands and draws its title, resulting in a "blurry" title string in my control because the string is being drawn twice—once in my textLayer and once by the Cell.
If, however, I do the exact same work as above in -drawRect: instead of -updateLayer, then the cell does NOT do any drawing (because I don't call down into it with [self.cell drawInteriorWithFrame:ControlView:])
I cannot, for the life of me, figure out what's firing the cell drawing when the associated controlView (my button subclass) has opted into -updateLayer instead of -drawRect:.
I have looked at all the methods on NSControl.h and NSView.h. I've overridden all of the -updateCell and associated methods. None of those are the culprit. I cannot simply set self.cell=nil because NSControl still relies on NSCell for event handling, etc.
Can someone tell me how to stop NSCell from drawing when its associated controlView is using -updateLayer instead of -drawRect:?
In -[NSButtonCell layoutLayerWithFrame:inView:], the cell adds a NSTextField to draw the title. Override titleRectForBounds: and return NSZeroRect to remove the title.

When NSTableview Load second time its customcell Subview's change it's position how to solve

I am new for cocoa OSX application might be this question is simple but i try my best to find out this issue and at the end i asking question here.
I am creating NSWindowViewController and in side it i Used NSTableview with Customcell. In customeCell i used NSView (customView) and all Cell IBOutlet put in side NSView. When First time that NSWindowViewController load that show fine but after close the window and again i open it. its NSTextField IBOutlet change its position top to bottom of the cell.
I try to find this some property change but did not fix it i attach its screen example what was happen with my cocoa osx Application.
I notice that this happen when i used following code for setting NSview's background color from property Inspector i setting NSView Core animation like.
And set background color in viewForTableColumn like:
cellView.bgview.layer.backgroundColor = [NSColor whiteColor].CGColor;
Color set properly and all working fine when i reload table view that top label going to bottom and that will display revers UI order for cell as i show in my question.
And i tested with if i remove NSView setting background color code as i mention above then working perfect no re-order and all things. I am not using Auto-layout.
So after then i create custom subclass of NSview for setting color like following:
- (void)drawRect:(NSRect)dirtyRect {
[[NSColor whiteColor] setFill];
NSRectFill(dirtyRect);
[super drawRect:dirtyRect];
// Drawing code here.
}
I remove my old code and use this one for setting background by creating NSView subclass and my issue fix.

Discrete (row-by-row) scrolling in NSTextView

How can I implement row-by-row scrolling in an NSTextView object? It has to work regardless of how the user tries to scroll: either if they drag the scroll knob or use a two-finger scroll gesture on the trackpad. Furthermore, the scroll knob should always move in discrete steps. (This is exactly the way Apples terminal emulator works.)
What I tried to do first was to subclass NSTextView and override adjustScroll: (which it inherits from NSView), which is described here, that is:
- (NSRect)adjustScroll:(NSRect)newVisible {
NSRect modifiedVisible = newVisible;
NSFont *font = [self font];
CGFloat lineHeight = [[self layoutManager] defaultLineHeightForFont:font];
modifiedVisible.origin.x = (int)(modifiedVisible.origin.x/lineHeight) * lineHeight;
modifiedVisible.origin.y = (int)(modifiedVisible.origin.y/lineHeight) * lineHeight;
return modifiedVisible;
}
This however only gives row-by-row scrolling when I use the scroll knob. By accident I found out that subclassing NSScrollView would give me row-by-row scrolling also when scrolling with the trackpad, even though it seems I'm not really doing anything (so why this works is a mystery), the only overridden methods are these:
- (instancetype)initWithFrame:(NSRect)frame {
self = [super initWithFrame:frame];
return self;
}
- (void)drawRect:(NSRect)dirtyRect {
[super drawRect:dirtyRect];
}
The scroll knob, however, still moves continuously. Do I have to subclass NSScroller and override setDoubleValue (I tried doing that, but it didn't work very well so that solution feels difficult, though maybe possible) or can I override reflectScrolledClipView: in my subclass to NSScrollView (that didn't work at all), or are there better solutions?

Setting UIScrollView's origin for pinch gestures

I'm creating a scroll view for displaying a very large view, and I need both scroll and zoom functionality (just like an image viewer). Here are the steps that I've taken:
In interface builder, I've put a scroll viewer to the view controller.
I've added a pinch gesture recognizer to the scroll viewer.
I've connected the gesture recognizer's action to the code to handle the gesture events.
When the view controller is loaded, I change my view's origin to the center (viewer is my scroll viewer): self.viewer.contentOffset = CGPointMake(384, 512);
In my code for the handler, I handled the event as such:
(startScale is 1.0 in the beginning)
- (IBAction)handlePinch:(UIPinchGestureRecognizer *)sender {
if(sender.state == UIGestureRecognizerStateEnded){
startScale *= sender.scale;
}else{
float result = sender.scale * startScale;
self.viewer.transform = CGAffineTransformMakeScale(result, result);
}
}
When I run the app, the gesture is recognized and scaling works correctly, however, the whole view scales with respect to the 0,0 point of the screen (top left). I want it to scale with respect to the middle point that I'm applying the gesture, just as a natural pinch gesture for zooming into a photo.
I've also tried setting self.viewer.frame's origin, but nothing changed. I've searched about the problem and found these:
How to set a UIView's origin reference? (already tried)
https://stackoverflow.com/questions/13163279/pinch-punch-gestures-center (about my problem, but unanswered)
UIPinchGestureRecognizer for zooming and panning an image in xcode (looks like an overkill, too complicated for me, and I'm not sure if this would really help my situation)
How can I achieve natural pinching with my scroll view, what am I doing wrong?
Thanks,
Can.
Well, the answer to the problem is very simple: Remove the pinch gesture altogether. The benefit of using a UIScrollView is that it handles the panning/zooming internally, and you have to do nothing
Edit: To make sure the content is scaled properly, you are going to need a UIView (called contentView or whatever you want) where you put all the content, and then on the delegate method of your UIScrollView do this:
- (UIView *)viewForZoomingInScrollView:(UIScrollView *)scrollView {
return contentView;
}
This should solve your problem
Edit 2: Also remember to set the minimum / maximum zoom scales for your UIScrollView

Touch on UISlider prevents scrolling of UIScrollView

I have a (vertical) UISlider inside a UIScrollview. I'd like to be able to change the value of the slider, and, without lifting my finger, scroll the scrollview left or right.
Desired behavior:
Touch down inside vertical UISlider, followed by a finger drag left or right causes the scrollview to scroll
Actual behavior:
Touch down inside vertical UISlider, followed by a finger drag left or right causes no movement in UIScrollview. A touch down outside the UISlider followed by a drag will scroll the scrollview as expected
UIView has a property called exclusiveTouch which seems as if it might be related to my problem. I tried setting it to NO, with no luck.
So, how can is set up my UISliders so that the scrollview beneath them will respond to touches which originate inside the UISliders?
Have you tried subclassing UIScrollView and implementing - (BOOL)touchesShouldCancelInContentView:(UIView *)view? According to the Apple documentation:
// called before scrolling begins if touches have already been delivered to a subview of the scroll view. if it returns NO the touches will continue to be delivered to the subview and scrolling will not occur
// not called if canCancelContentTouches is NO. default returns YES if view isn't a UIControl
If you simply return NO if the view is your UISlider, this may do what you want, assuming your UIScrollView only scrolls horizontally. If this doesn't work, you likely will have to do custom touch handling (ie. overriding touchesBegan:withEvent:, touchesChanged:withEvent:, etc.) for both your UIScrollView and your UISlider.
What you are seeing is the intended behavior.
Each touch event only gets handled by one control. What exclusiveTouch does is actually to prevent other touch events from being delivered to other views.
To do what are trying to do you would have to do some of the touch handling yourself. Passing the event to both your views. You could do either do it by implementing all the touchesBegan:, touchesMoved: etc. methods and pass the events to both views. You can read more about that approach in the UIResponder documentation. Another approach is to do the event handling in a UIGestureRecognizer on the scroll view that hit tests the slider and updates the value of the slider using the y-delta. You can read more about gesture recognizers and event handling in the section about Gesture Recognizers in the Event Handling Guide for iOS.
Side note:
Go to the Settings app and toggle a switch half way (for example the Airplane mode toggle) and then drag down. Nothing will happen. The rest of the OS behaves the same way. Are you sure that this is the interaction that you really want to do? Apps that behave differently often feel weird and unfamiliar.
Your question confused me a bit. You are saying a vertical slider - but dragging left and right?
If you wish to scroll the scrollview when dragging the UISlider, the proper way to do so is
[mySlider addTarget:self action:#selector(sliderMoved:) forControlEvents:UIControlEventValueChanged];
and
- (void) sliderMoved:(UISlider*) slider {
myScrollView.contentOffset.x = slider.value * (myScrollView.contentSize.width - myScrollView.bounds.size.width);
}
Hope this is what you want.
You need to set delaysContentTouches as NO and prevent for UISlider objects to scroll, Check below code.
mySlider.delaysContentTouches = NO;
- (BOOL)touchesShouldBegin:(NSSet *)touches withEvent:(UIEvent *)event inContentView:(UIView *)view {
if ([view isKindOfClass:[UISlider class]])
{
UITouch *touchEvent = [[event allTouches] anyObject];
CGPoint locationEvent = [touchEvent locationInView:view];
CGRect thumbRect;
UISlider *mySlide = (UISlider*) view;
CGRect trackRect = [mySlide trackRectForBounds:mySlide.bounds];
thumbRect = [mySlide thumbRectForBounds:mySlide.bounds trackRect:trackRect value:mySlide.value];
if (CGRectContainsPoint(thumbRect, locationEvent))
return YES;
}
return NO;
}
I think you can get some reference from this example in this example it is shown that how to cancel any touch or any gesture recognizers and apply them to other views.
May this lead you to the solution of your problem and if it will just let me know about it
Happy Codding :)
