I'm learning Swift and creating my first project for OS X. I would like to have the NSSharingServicePicker popover displayed over a button "shareButton" when the user pushed that button.
I create the NSSharingServicePicker object with this code:
var text = "Hello, world!"
var share = NSSharingServicePicker(items: [text])
Now, how I have to customise this code to display the popover?
share.showRelativeToRect(rect: NSRect, ofView: NSView, preferredEdge: NSRectEdge)
I tried this but it shows the popover in a wrong position and the console shows me an error.
let rect = shareButton.frame
let edge : NSRectEdge = NSRectEdge.MaxY
let view = shareButton
share.showRelativeToRect(rect, ofView: view, preferredEdge: edge)
"NSSharingServicePicker showRelativeToRect: ofView: preferredEdge:] should not be called on mouseUp
Please configure the sender with -[NSControl sendActionOn:NSLeftMouseDownMask];"
First of All, to get rid of the NSLeftMouseDownMask warning thing, change the behavior of the button when your app starts up. Put this code within viewDidLoad(), for example.
youShareButton.sendAction(on: NSLeftMouseDownMask)
And this is what I did for displaying the picker view on the button
let shareItems = [aURL]
let sharingPicker:NSSharingServicePicker = NSSharingServicePicker.init(items: shareItems)
let sharingPicker:NSSharingServicePicker = NSSharingServicePicker.init(items: shareItems)
sharingPicker.show(relativeTo: yourShareButton.bounds, of: yourShareButton, preferredEdge: .minY)
Ok, I resolved by replacing:
let rect = shareButton.frame
with
let rect = NSZeroRect

I am making an app where at the begging it check if a value exist in UserDefaults. If not, it opens a window asking the user to choose where to put a Database and save the path in UserDefaults. If the Path is already hear, then the main window opens.
To do this I have two storyboard, the Main containing all the controllers for the main window and the Welcome storyboard containing the welcome screen.
My main window contains a NSToolbar with items. the problem is that if I put my main window controller as initial controller, the toolbar just work fine, but the Welcome screen is never called. So I've remove the "is initial controller" options, but if check the conditions in applicationDidFinishLaunching in appDelegate, when I instantiate the window from here (and everything works, the right window is open for the right condition), the Toolbar never works (the actions for the buttons are never called, I checked with prints).
Here's my code in appDelegate :
func applicationDidFinishLaunching(_ aNotification: Notification) {
let userDefaults = UserDefaults.standard
if userDefaults.string(forKey: "Database Path") == nil {
let storyboard = NSStoryboard(name: "Welcome", bundle: nil)
let initiate = storyboard.instantiateController(withIdentifier: "Welcome") as! WelcomeWindowController
initiate.window?.makeKeyAndOrderFront(self)
} else {
let storyboard = NSStoryboard(name: "Main", bundle: nil)
let initiate = storyboard.instantiateController(withIdentifier: "Main") as! MainWindowController
initiate.window?.makeKeyAndOrderFront(self)
}
}
Is there something I'm missing when I instantiate the main window controller?
I have a UIScrollView inside a UIViewController (subclassed by ImageViewController). The ViewController itself is part of a NavigationController's stack. Now, apart from having a navigation bar, I want the ScrollView to take all of the available room on the screen. The UIImageView inside the scrollview should then fill the available room of the scroll view. You can see the current state at the bottom of this posting.
class ImageViewController: UIViewController, UIScrollViewDelegate {
#IBOutlet weak var scrollView: UIScrollView!
var imageView: UIImageView?
var image: UIImage?
override func viewDidLoad() {
super.viewDidLoad()
scrollView.delegate = self
if let image = image {
imageView = UIImageView(image: image)
if let imageView = imageView {
imageView.frame = CGRect(origin: CGPoint(x: 0, y: 0), size: image.size)
scrollView.addSubview(imageView)
scrollView.contentSize = image.size
let scaleHeight = scrollView.frame.size.height / scrollView.contentSize.height
let scaleWidth = scrollView.frame.size.width / scrollView.contentSize.width
let minimumScale:CGFloat = min(scaleHeight, scaleWidth)
let maximumScale:CGFloat = max(scaleHeight, scaleWidth)
scrollView.minimumZoomScale = minimumScale
scrollView.maximumZoomScale = maximumScale
scrollView.zoomScale = maximumScale
}
}
}
func viewForZoomingInScrollView(scrollView: UIScrollView) -> UIView? {
return imageView
}
}
The code leaves me with unnecessary borders (left, right, top). How do I get rid of them?
EDIT: With #Bxtr's suggestion and another stackoverflow thread I was able to remove the borders left and right to the scroll view. After some more digging I found out that by deactivating Adjust Scroll View Insets, the image inside the scroll view can be correctly vertically positioned. Still, I do not get the reason for the vertical misplacement in the first place...
Have you checked the margin/padding values, because it kinda looks so (same size on left and right border). If it is not the case, could you please also post your xml file of the activity so we can have every part of the puzzle to help you ?
scrollView.contentSize = image.size;
you have to tweek this line. You are explicitly setting scroll view content size to the image size. You have to set content size to fit the Width of Screen.
You can use a UIView in UIScrollView, and that UIView contains UIImage.
You need to set constraints properly.
After some more digging I found out that by deactivating Adjust Scroll
View Insets, the image inside the scroll view can be correctly
vertically positioned. Still, I do not get the reason for the vertical
misplacement in the first place...
The reason is that the view controller's automaticallyAdjustsScrollViewInsets property is by default YES, the following is from apple documentation:
automaticallyAdjustsScrollViewInsets
A Boolean value that indicates
whether the view controller should automatically adjust its scroll
view insets.
Default value is YES, which allows the view controller to adjust its
scroll view insets in response to the screen areas consumed by the
status bar, navigation bar, and toolbar or tab bar. Set to NO if you
want to manage scroll view inset adjustments yourself, such as when
there is more than one scroll view in the view hierarchy.
Besides setting automaticallyAdjustsScrollViewInsets = No, you can pin the scrollView to the topLayoutGuide (instead of to the top of the viewController's view) when using autoLayout.
How can I visually design a NSView in Xcode? I'm trying to build a statusBar app with a statusMenu only
As you can see above, the object appear but I can't edit it visually, then it go like this as a result:
I attempted to use a XIB file (only have a NSView, no ViewController), but I can't put the NSView in the XIB into the AppDelegate. I tried another ways and managed to use the XIB file, but then I can't use the Storyboard.
Do you have any idea for this situation?
UPDATE
Thank Max for answer my question. I actually tried that before but failed. I tried it again after your comment and there's still no luck. Here is how I did
I created a ViewController then I change its view to the MenuCustomView (NSView)
This is the code in AppDelegate
let statusBar = NSStatusBar.systemStatusBar().statusItemWithLength(-1)
var menuCustomView = NSView()
func applicationDidFinishLaunching(aNotification: NSNotification) {
// Insert code here to initialize your application
let statusIcon = NSImage(named: "statusIcon")
let statusMenu = NSMenu()
statusBar.image = statusIcon
statusBar.menu = statusMenu
let menuItem = NSMenuItem()
menuItem.title = "title"
var vc = ViewController()
menuCustomView = vc.view
menuItem.view = menuCustomView
statusMenu.addItem(menuItem)
}
Files I have in the project
Even though you don't need the view controller, you can use them to design the views. Create one in the storyboard, edit the view the way you want.
Then you can use the view by creating a viewController out of the storyboard and using its view property to attach the view to the NSStatusBarItem
My words in code:
let storyboard = NSStoryboard(name: "Main", bundle: nil)
let viewController = storyboard?.instantiateControllerWithIdentifier("MyViewController") as! NSViewController
let view = viewController.view
I assume you want to add functioning code to the view. To, for example respond to the button click, you have to subclass the NSViewController and then implement the code you would have added to the AppDelegate.
If you need any more explanation, feel free to write me :)
I have a toolbar button
#IBOutlet weak var testButton: NSToolbarItem!
The button call a popover and works fine.
But if i try and call the popover from a top menu item i get a crash.
I have amended the location of the popover to appear below the testButton just as it normally would. (commented below)
#IBAction func menuPreviewAndTestAction(sender: AnyObject) {
var returnedHtmlString = checkEverythingAndCreateTheEncodedHtml(testButton)
setEncodedHtmlToPreview(returnedHtmlString)
var thebounds = self.testButton.view?.bounds // so i am givving bounds of button that narmally calls poover
testingPopover.showRelativeToRect(thebounds!, ofView: sender as NSView, preferredEdge: NSMaxYEdge) // crashes
}
Oh dear... I missed changing the ofView, all sorted with :
var thebounds = self.testButton.view?.bounds
var theview = self.testButton.view
testingPopover.showRelativeToRect(thebounds!, ofView: theview! as NSView, preferredEdge: NSMaxYEdge)

I am trying to create a classic Web-like modal view, where the outside of the dialog box is "grayed-out." To accomplish this, I've set the alpha value of the backgroundColor of the view for the modal to 0.5, like so:
self.view.backgroundColor = UIColor.blackColor().colorWithAlphaComponent(0.5)
The only problem is that when the modal becomes full-screen, the presenting view is removed. (Ref Transparent Modal View on Navigation Controller).
(A bit irritated at the concept here. Why remove the underlying view? A modal is, by definition, to appear atop other content. Once the underlying view is removed, it's not really a modal anymore. it's somewhere between a modal and a push transition. Wa wa wa... Anyway..)
To prevent this from happening, I've set the modalPresentationStyle to CurrentContext in the viewDidLoad method of the parent controller, and in Storyboard... but no luck.
self.modalPresentationStyle = UIModalPresentationStyle.CurrentContext
self.navigationController.modalPresentationStyle = UIModalPresentationStyle.CurrentContext
How do I prevent the presenting view from being removed when the modal becomes full screen?
tyvm.. more info below.
Also in Storyboard, like so (Presentation: Current Context)
Thx for your help... documentation below:
First, remove all explicit setting of modal presentation style in code and do the following:
In the storyboard set the ModalViewController's modalPresentation style to Over Current context
Check the checkboxes in the Root/Presenting ViewController - Provide Context and Define Context.
They seem to be working even unchecked.
You can try this code for Swift:
let popup : PopupVC = self.storyboard?.instantiateViewControllerWithIdentifier("PopupVC") as! PopupVC
let navigationController = UINavigationController(rootViewController: popup)
navigationController.modalPresentationStyle = UIModalPresentationStyle.OverCurrentContext
self.presentViewController(navigationController, animated: true, completion: nil)
For swift 4 latest syntax using extension:
extension UIViewController {
func presentOnRoot(`with` viewController : UIViewController){
let navigationController = UINavigationController(rootViewController: viewController)
navigationController.modalPresentationStyle = UIModalPresentationStyle.overCurrentContext
self.present(navigationController, animated: false, completion: nil)
}
}
How to use:
let popup : PopupVC = self.storyboard?.instantiateViewControllerWithIdentifier("PopupVC") as! PopupVC
self.presentOnRoot(with: popup)
The only problem I can see in your code is that you are using CurrentContext instead of OverCurrentContext.
So, replace this:
self.modalPresentationStyle = UIModalPresentationStyle.CurrentContext
self.navigationController.modalPresentationStyle = UIModalPresentationStyle.CurrentContext
for this:
self.modalPresentationStyle = UIModalPresentationStyle.OverCurrentContext
self.navigationController.modalPresentationStyle = UIModalPresentationStyle.OverCurrentContext
This worked for me in Swift 5.0. Set the Storyboard Id in the identity inspector as "destinationVC".
#IBAction func buttonTapped(_ sender: Any) {
let storyboard: UIStoryboard = UIStoryboard(name: "Main", bundle: Bundle.main)
let destVC = storyboard.instantiateViewController(withIdentifier: "destinationVC") as! MyViewController
destVC.modalPresentationStyle = UIModalPresentationStyle.overCurrentContext
destVC.modalTransitionStyle = UIModalTransitionStyle.crossDissolve
self.present(destVC, animated: true, completion: nil)
}
The problem with setting the modalPresentationStyle from code was that you should have set it in the init() method of the presented view controller, not the parent view controller.
From UIKit docs: "Defines the transition style that will be used for this view controller when it is presented modally. Set
this property on the view controller to be presented, not the presenter. Defaults to
UIModalTransitionStyleCoverVertical."
The viewDidLoad method will only be called after you already presented the view controller.
The second problem was that you should use UIModalPresentationStyle.overCurrentContext.
The only way I able to get this to work was by doing this on the presenting view controller:
func didTapButton() {
self.definesPresentationContext = true
self.modalTransitionStyle = .crossDissolve
let yourVC = self.storyboard?.instantiateViewController(withIdentifier: "YourViewController") as! YourViewController
let navController = UINavigationController(rootViewController: yourVC)
navController.modalPresentationStyle = .overCurrentContext
navController.modalTransitionStyle = .crossDissolve
self.present(navController, animated: true, completion: nil)
}
I am updating a simple solution. First add an id to your segue which presents modal. Than in properties change it's presentation style to "Over Current Context". Than add this code in presenting view controller (The controller which is presenting modal).
override func prepareForSegue(segue: UIStoryboardSegue, sender: AnyObject?) {
let Device = UIDevice.currentDevice()
let iosVersion = NSString(string: Device.systemVersion).doubleValue
let iOS8 = iosVersion >= 8
let iOS7 = iosVersion >= 7 && iosVersion < 8
if((segue.identifier == "chatTable")){
if (iOS8){
}
else {
self.navigationController?.modalPresentationStyle = UIModalPresentationStyle.CurrentContext
}
}
}
Make sure you change segue.identifier to your own id ;)
