I would like to make a patch bay type control... any source online that anyone knows of that I could work from?
Thanks
The closest thing I'm aware of is EFLaceView: http://www.cocoadev.com/index.pl?FlowChartView
Edit: EFLaceView seems to have disappeared, but I have a saved copy: EFLaceView
Edit: Version of EFLaceView on github, with more recent changes than link above.
Unless you can find someone online who is sharing exactly the kind of control you're looking for, you don't have any choice but to build this for yourself. For that, you need to understand Control and Cell Programming, Cocoa Drawing, and create your own custom view.

I need to program something in LibreOffice Basic, but I've never done that before. I just have the basis in python, so it's really new for me.
I didn't find any recent documentation, so I'm reading the basic guide from 2010.
But there is a point I really don't understand, They speak about various interface but I don't succeed to understand their interest and when I should call it.
If you can explain it I would love it.
Thank you !
Don't go deeper, no need. To write working code in Basic, you do not need additional information - you just need to know the list of methods of each object, no more. Which interface provided this method to the object shouldn't bother you.
See chapter 3.6.4. Interfaces in Pitonyak's book. The list of available methods is easy to obtain using the MRI or Xray tool extension. MRI is convenient in that after an in-depth study of the object, you immediately get a piece of code ready for use.
(Unfortunately, this extension works extremely unstable with the latest versions of LibreOffice)

Python is very good when working with LibreOffice. See http://christopher5106.github.io/office/2015/12/06/openoffice-libreoffice-automate-your-office-tasks-with-python-macros.html.
You'll still need MRI or XrayTool and Pitonyak's book as explained by #JohnSUN. Also you'll want APSO and a reference such as https://wiki.openoffice.org/wiki/Python/Transfer_from_Basic_to_Python.
For a single small project though, Basic may be better as there are more examples available.
Xcode 4 has a very nice built-in help/documentation that you can access e.g. by alt-clicking an identifier in the code, or by opening the help panel in the right sidebar. However, this only works for classes and methods provided by Apple. Is there a way to write some kind of documentation comments (e.g. like the Javadoc comments in Java) in your own code to make Xcode display them in those documentation panels?
http://developer.apple.com/library/mac/#documentation/DeveloperTools/Conceptual/HeaderDoc/intro/intro.html
It's maintained by Apple so it should be well supported. I never actually used it, may try it later.
Ok, it looks like there's no good tool really... there are a few different ones, but they're imperfect and difficult to configure. I couldn't get Doxygen or Appledoc to work, and the tool mentioned by Avizzv92 is referred to as "a pile of poo" elsewhere, so I'd rather not try it... :)

I know the ESC key does code completion, but is there a way to get a pop-up(tool-tip I guess) that shows you all the possible choices for a piece of code? As an example, it would be nice when writing Javascript to get a list of available actions. Other apps I've used like Coda do this. I'd like to check out Textmate but I have a hard time getting past this missing feature which I find pretty valuable, particularly as a fairly new programmer who likes to see what options are there as it's a bit of a learning tool for me also. I thought I had found a plugin like what I'm looking for, Dialog2, but it seems to have disappeared as it was meant to be built-in to the never-released TM2.
I've looked around a fair bit for the answer to this question and figured this was my next best option. Thanks.
I don't have Textmate available to try it out, but I believe that option-Esc is supposed to show you the list of possible code completions.
Check out subtleGradient's tmbundle: https://github.com/subtleGradient/javascript.tmbundle
It knows how to auto-wrap for arrays, and objects. Documentation look-up too.
Sorry if this is well known but Googling for my answer only came up with links about making Google Wave gadgets.
My question is, are there any Google Wave gadgets that allow for better collaborative code editing? I mean, I can set the font to fixed width etc., but are their any gadgets designed for it?
Responses shouldn't include anything about git or svn. I use those when I want to use those. This is about Google Wave!
Here is a huge list of robots available for Wave: http://www.chaaps.com/huge-list-of-125-google-wave-robots-add-bots-and-enjoy-wave.html
Maybe there is one in there?
Don't know how well it works but found an extension called CodeBot.

-- its a work in progress. Let me know if you want the source code.
I will package it and release it or something like it for the next WHIFF
release.
I have found a Tutorial here
on how to implement drag and drop in an Outline View. The only problem I have is I don't know where to put the code from the tutorial. I would appreciate it greatly if you could tell me where I should put the code in a Xcode Project to make it work. Thanks!
You might want to check out this tutorial as well (there is also a part two which details unordered trees).
In particular, the linked tutorial contains an XCode projects that should get you started. Check out DragController.m to see where you put the code you referenced with your link.
Apple has released a samplecode explaining how to do it. http://developer.apple.com/library/mac/#samplecode/DragNDropOutlineView/Introduction/Intro.html
I found this much better then all the other samples i've found on the internet.
They're delegate/data source methods, so you put them into the outline view's delegate and data source. Usually this is your controller object, but it's up to you to hook up the connections in IB or programatically. I'd actually suggest learning how data source and delegate methods work before using bindings or Core Data, since bindings isn't meant to replace knowledge of lower level code (and you're going to run into a lot of problems with bindings until you have a solid understanding of the basics).
Also, keep in mind NSTreeController has improved a bit since 10.5, from what I've heard you should be able to get the real observed object without using private methods anymore.
