Width of NSTextField inside NSTableCellView - cocoa

I'm trying to create a very simple NSTableCellView with a textfield and a button. My code to layout the NSTableCellView is below. I want the textfield to have a width of 100px.
- (NSView *)outlineView:(NSOutlineView *)outlineView viewForTableColumn:(NSTableColumn *)tableColumn item:(id)item {
MyTableCellView *cellView = [outlineView makeViewWithIdentifier:#"MyTableCellView" owner:self];
if (cellView == nil) {
cellView = [[MyTableCellView alloc] initWithFrame:NSMakeRect(0, 0, NSWidth(outlineView.bounds), [outlineView rowHeight])];
NSTextField *textField = [[NSTextField alloc] initWithFrame:NSMakeRect(0, 0, 100, [outlineView rowHeight])];
[cellView addSubview:textField];
cellView.textField = textField;
NSButton *button = [[NSButton alloc] initWithFrame:NSMakeRect(108, 0, 50, [outlineView rowHeight])];
[cellView addSubview:button];
cellView.button = button;
cellView.identifier = #"MyTableCellView";
}
cellView.textField.stringValue = item.stringValue;
return cellView;
}
When I do this, however, the NSTextField takes up the entire row:
What am I doing wrong?

I found the problem. I didn't think twice about setting the NSTextField I created to the NSTableCellView's textfield outlet. It turns out this should not be done because then it is automatically resized.
So I took out this line and it works as expected:
cellView.textField = textField;

OSX App, NSTextField only responds to Force Click

I am writing my first OS X app and I am running into a problem. I am placing a NSTextField inside of a NSTableViewCell. A single click in the text field does nothing. A force click will, however, activate the textfield to enter text.
Is this because it's embedded in a cell?
So far my code is very simple:
- (void)drawRect:(NSRect)dirtyRect {
[super drawRect:dirtyRect];
NSScrollView * tableContainer = [[NSScrollView alloc] initWithFrame:self.bounds];
mainTableView = [[NSTableView alloc] initWithFrame:NSMakeRect(0, 0, 1200, self.frame.size.height)];
mainTableView.autoresizingMask = NSViewWidthSizable|NSViewHeightSizable;
/// {creating columns here}
[tableContainer addSubview:mainTableView];
mainTableView.backgroundColor = [NSColor whiteColor];
mainTableView.rowHeight = 25;
[mainTableView setDelegate:self];
[mainTableView setDataSource:self];
[tableContainer setDocumentView:mainTableView];
[tableContainer setHasVerticalScroller:YES];
[self addSubview:tableContainer];
[mainTableView reloadData];
}
- (NSView *)tableView:(NSTableView *)tableView
viewForTableColumn:(NSTableColumn *)tableColumn
row:(NSInteger)row {
NSView *view = [[NSView alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(0, 0, tableColumn.width, tableView.rowHeight)];
NSTextField *tf = [[NSTextField alloc] initWithFrame:view.bounds];
tf.stringValue = #"!";
tf.editable = YES;
tf.delegate = self;
[view addSubview:tf];
return view;
}

How do I implement frameForAlignmentRect:/alignmentRectForFrame: such that the frame outside the alignment rect encapsulates those of subviews?

So I now have my Auto Layout-based container working, for the most part. On 10.8 (I need to run on 10.7 and newer), I see this:
Notice how the sides of the NSProgressIndicator and NSPopUpButton are clipped.
After some experimentation, I found that overriding alignmentRectInsets and returning 50 pixels of insets on all sides shows no clipping:
In both cases, the controls are bound to the left and right edges of the container view alignment rect with H:|[view]|. I imagine this will happen on other versions of OS X too, but it's most noticeable here (and as of writing I only have access to 10.8 and 10.10 installs).
Now, using alignment rect insets of 50 pixels on each side sounds wrong. I don't think there'd be any control that would need more than 50 pixels, but I'd rather do these correctly. So my question is: How do I implement the alignmentRectForFrame: and frameForAlignmentRect: selectors to properly account for the frames and alignment rects of the subviews?
Right now, I'm thinking to force a layout and then observe the frames and alignment rects of each subview, assuming that alignment rect (0, 0) of my last subview (the subviews are arranged linearly) will be at alignment rect (0, 0) of the container view. But I'm not sure if this approach is sufficient to handle all cases, and I'm not sure if I can invert the operation in the same way that these two selectors require. Subtraction, maybe?
If what I described above is the solution, could I do that with alignmentRectInsets, or must the insets returned by that method never change during the lifetime of the view?
Or is the second screenshot showing a scenario that Interface Builder won't reproduce, and thus I assume is "wrong" from a guidelines standpoint?
In the sample program below, start without a command-line argument to simulate the first screenshot, and start with an argument to simulate the second screenshot. Check the Spaced checkbox to add spacing to the views.
Thanks!

Cocoa : Custom TableView cell?

I am not really familiar with tables, as I usually make games, but now I want to create a level builder where I need a table view with custom cells. I have created a nib file and I have subclassed NSTableCellView, but I don't know what to do next. All I have is:
- (void)applicationDidFinishLaunching:(NSNotification *)aNotification{
NSScrollView * tableContainer = [[NSScrollView alloc] initWithFrame:NSMakeRect(self.window.frame.size.width-TABLEWIDTH, 0, TABLEWIDTH, self.window.frame.size.height)];
SpriteTable *sT = [[SpriteTable alloc]initWithFrame:NSMakeRect(self.window.frame.size.width-TABLEWIDTH, 0, TABLEWIDTH, self.window.frame.size.height)];
NSTableView *tableView = [[NSTableView alloc] initWithFrame: sT.bounds];
NSTableColumn* firstColumn = [[[NSTableColumn alloc] initWithIdentifier:#"firstColumn"] autorelease];
[[firstColumn headerCell] setStringValue:#"First Column"];
[tableView addTableColumn:firstColumn];
tableView.dataSource = self;
tableView.delegate = self;
[tableContainer setDocumentView:tableView];
tableContainer.autoresizingMask = NSViewHeightSizable | NSViewMinXMargin;
[self.window.contentView addSubview: tableContainer];
}
- (NSInteger)numberOfRowsInTableView:(NSTableView *)tableView{
return 4;
}
- (NSView *)tableView:(NSTableView *)tableView
viewForTableColumn:(NSTableColumn *)tableColumn
row:(NSInteger)row {
// get an existing cell with the MyView identifier if it exists
CustomCell *result = [tableView makeViewWithIdentifier:#"MyView" owner:self];
// There is no existing cell to reuse so we will create a new one
if (result == nil) {
NSLog(#"result = nil");
// create the new NSTextField with a frame of the {0,0} with the width of the table
// note that the height of the frame is not really relevant, the row-height will modify the height
// the new text field is then returned as an autoreleased object
//result = [[[NSTextField alloc] initWithFrame:NSMakeRect(0, 0, 250, 70)] autorelease];
// the identifier of the NSTextField instance is set to MyView. This
// allows it to be re-used
result.identifier = #"MyView";
}
// result is now guaranteed to be valid, either as a re-used cell
// or as a new cell, so set the stringValue of the cell to the
// nameArray value at row
result.imageView.image = [NSImage imageNamed:NSImageNameHomeTemplate];
// return the result.
return result;
}
If any, which delegate methods do I have to implement ? And how do I customize my cell WITH a nib file ?
Do this in ur subview->
#implementation suhasView
#synthesize name,containerView;// container view contains ur subview
- (NSView*) myView
{
NSBundle *bundle = [NSBundle bundleForClass:[self class]];
NSNib *theNib = [[NSNib alloc] initWithNibNamed:#"suhas"bundle:bundle];
[theNib instantiateNibWithOwner:self topLevelObjects:nil];
return containerView;
}
In Controller->
- (NSView *)tableView:(NSTableView *)tableView viewForTableColumn:(NSTableColumn *)tableColumn row:(NSInteger)row
{
suhas *a=[[suhas alloc]initWithFrame:NSMakeRect(0,0, 40, 40)];
NSView * v = [a myView];
[a.name setStringValue:#"suhas"];
return v;
}...//sorry for my naming of the class:)

UIPickerController - want to show specific selection upon loading

I have a custom UIPickerView that is embedded into an UIActionsheet that comes up half the screen when called. Works great. The problem is that I want to have the barrelPicker be showing the 'most probable' results as the selection when it first comes up (after all the data has been loaded into it).
Prior to having the custom picker embedded in the action sheet, I had it in a UIViewController and was just calling "showProbableResults" (a custom method of mine) in the viewDidLoad method of the ViewController, because I knew at that point, the UIPickerView would be loaded up and ready to go. Is there an equivalent place for me to call this method now or do I need to rethink my whole design? Essentially, what I need is a place to call this after the UIPickerView has been loaded.
- (void)startWithDelegate:(UIViewController <ImageProcessingDelegate> *)sender
{
self.delegate = sender;
self.showFirstBottle = YES;
[self start];
}
- (void) start {
self.actionSheet = [[UIActionSheet alloc] initWithTitle:#"Choose Something"
delegate:self
cancelButtonTitle:nil
destructiveButtonTitle:nil
otherButtonTitles:nil];
[self.actionSheet setActionSheetStyle:UIActionSheetStyleBlackTranslucent];
CGRect pickerFrame = CGRectMake(0, 40, 0, 0);
NSLog(#"1.) About to alloc the picker");
self.vintagePicker = [[UIPickerView alloc] initWithFrame:pickerFrame];
self.vintagePicker.showsSelectionIndicator = YES;
self.vintagePicker.dataSource = self;
self.vintagePicker.delegate = self;
[self.actionSheet addSubview:self.vintagePicker];
[self.vintagePicker release];
UISegmentedControl *nextButton = [[UISegmentedControl alloc] initWithItems:[NSArray arrayWithObject:#"Next"]];
nextButton.momentary = YES;
nextButton.frame = CGRectMake(260, 7.0f, 50.0f, 30.0f);
nextButton.segmentedControlStyle = UISegmentedControlStyleBar;
nextButton.tintColor = [UIColor blackColor];
[nextButton addTarget:self action:#selector(show:) forControlEvents:UIControlEventValueChanged];
[self.actionSheet addSubview:nextButton];
[nextButton release];
UISegmentedControl *backButton = [[UISegmentedControl alloc] initWithItems:[NSArray arrayWithObject:#"Back"]];
backButton.momentary = YES;
backButton.frame = CGRectMake(10, 7.0f, 50.0f, 30.0f);
backButton.segmentedControlStyle = UISegmentedControlStyleBar;
backButton.tintColor = [UIColor blackColor];
[backButton addTarget:self action:#selector(cancel:) forControlEvents:UIControlEventValueChanged];
[self.actionSheet addSubview:backButton];
[backButton release];
[self.actionSheet showInView:_delegate.parentViewController.tabBarController.view]; // show from our table view (pops up in the middle of the table)
[self.actionSheet setBounds:CGRectMake(0, 0, 320, 485)];
}
One option is to create a reusable picker view, as shown here, and then call the #optional
-(void)setInitialPickerValueToRow:(int)i inComponent:(int)j animated:(BOOL)k{
[pickerView selectRow:i inComponent:j animated:k];
}
from any view controller or NSObject (such as your UIActionSheetDelegate).
Your other option is to set a standard pre-chosen selection, as follows:
self.vintagePicker = [[UIPickerView alloc] initWithFrame:pickerFrame];
self.vintagePicker.showsSelectionIndicator = YES;
self.vintagePicker.dataSource = self;
self.vintagePicker.delegate = self;
[self.actionSheet addSubview:self.vintagePicker];
[self.vintagePicker selectRow:0 inComponent:0 animated:NO];
You could also have different variables that you set, and have selectRow:inComponent:animated: access those, instead of being preset.
[self.vintagePicker selectRow:myRow inComponent:0 animated:NO];
Hope this helps!

iphone, UITextField in UITableView

I'm trying to add textfields in a tableview. I want a label and a textfield in every row except the last row. I want a switch at the last row.
The problem is that the text fields are overlapping on the rest of the rows. I moved my textfield code inside the if(cell == nil) but that didn't work... here's my code
- (UITableViewCell *)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView cellForRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath {
NSString *MyIdentifier = #"mainMenuIdentifier";
UITableViewCell *cell = [tableView dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier:MyIdentifier];
if (cell == nil) {
cell = [[[UITableViewCell alloc] initWithStyle:UITableViewCellStyleDefault reuseIdentifier:MyIdentifier] autorelease];
[cell setSelectedBackgroundView:[[UIImageView alloc] initWithImage:[UIImage imageNamed:#"highlightstrip.png"]]];
if (tableView.tag == 1) {
UILabel *lblName = [[UILabel alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(10, 10, 90, 20)];
lblName.textAlignment = UITextAlignmentLeft;
lblName.font = [UIFont boldSystemFontOfSize:14];
lblName.backgroundColor = [UIColor clearColor];
lblName.tag = 31;
[cell.contentView addSubview:lblName];
[lblName release];
}
}
if (tableView.tag == 1) {
[(UILabel *) [cell viewWithTag:31] setText:[tableElements objectAtIndex:indexPath.row]];
// check if the last row
if (indexPath.row == 10) {
newsSwtich = [[[UISwitch alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectZero] autorelease];
[newsSwtich addTarget:self action:#selector(switchToggled:) forControlEvents: UIControlEventTouchUpInside];
cell.accessoryView = newsSwtich;
}
else {
UITextField *tempTextField = [[UITextField alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(100, 10, 200, 20)];
tempTextField.delegate = self;
// tempTextField.placeholder = [tableElements objectAtIndex:indexPath.row];
tempTextField.font = [UIFont fontWithName:#"Arial" size:14];
tempTextField.textAlignment = UITextAlignmentLeft;
tempTextField.tag = indexPath.row;
tempTextField.autocorrectionType = UITextAutocorrectionTypeNo; // no auto correction support
tempTextField.keyboardType = UIKeyboardTypeDefault; // type of the keyboard
tempTextField.returnKeyType = UIReturnKeyDone; // type of the return key
tempTextField.clearButtonMode = UITextFieldViewModeWhileEditing; // has a clear 'x' button to the right
[cell.contentView addSubview:tempTextField];
[tempTextField release];
cell.accessoryView = UITableViewCellAccessoryNone;
}
cell.selectionStyle = UITableViewCellSelectionStyleNone;
return cell;
}
When I scroll up and down the text fields are overlapped , I mean after I enter the text in the first row and scroll down, I can see that textfield copied at the last row as well.
Cell reuse is causing the text fields to overlap. Each time the cell is being reused, you are adding a text field or a switch. These are piling up. You will need to remove the older subview which would either be the switch or the text field before adding one.
why you are using two tableviews just do this
-(UITableViewCell *)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView cellForRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath {
if(indexPath.row==[tableviewarray count]){
//dont add label or textfield
}
else{
// add label or textfield
}
}
