I am writing a mac app and have used this code to hide the window handle,
[self.window setStyleMask:NSBorderlessWindowMask];
Well this is great, but i still need a handle to move around the window, so is there a way to move around the window from another object like an NSImage, acting like the window handle?
The code for my image is in the .h,
#interface WOWAppDelegate : NSObject <NSApplicationDelegate> {
NSWindow *window;
IBOutlet NSImageView* winView;
}
and in the .m file,
- (void)awakeFromNib {
NSString *inFilePathwin = [[[NSBundle mainBundle] resourcePath] stringByAppendingPathComponent:#"win.png"];
NSImage *winImage = [[[NSImage alloc] initWithContentsOfFile:inFilePathwin] autorelease];
[winView setImage:winImage];
}
So the image is working and showing so how do i link that function?
Hook the mouseDragged event on a NSView subview.
-(void)mouseDragged:(NSEvent *)theEvent
{
CGFloat deltax = [theEvent deltaX];
CGFloat deltay = [theEvent deltaY];
NSRect frame = [[self window] frame];
frame.origin.x += deltax;
frame.origin.y -= deltay;
[[self window] setFrameOrigin:frame.origin];
}
So
subclass NSView as XView
place your handle image in an instance of this view container.
Place the container where you want in the windows main view.
Use this snippet in XView to drag the window around.
Adjust the behaviour with the mouseDown and MouseUp events.

I have a window I want to display as a modal window (OS X 10.10). I'm loading the NIB for the window and am able to set the title successfully and then display the window. But whatever I do to try to affect the window position doesn't work.
This works (part of NSWindowController sub-class):
[[self window] setTitle:title];
[[NSApplication sharedApplication] runModalForWindow:[self window]];
Here are ways with which I've tried to affect the position after setting the title:
[[self window] setFrameOrigin: NSMakePoint(200.0, 200.0) ];
[[self window] setFrameTopLeftPoint: NSMakePoint(200.0, 200.0) ];
[[self window] setFrame: NSMakeRect(200, 300, [[self window] frame].size.width, [[self window] frame].size.height) display:YES];
(I've tried other values as well - just for testing, but nothing.)
I can even query the
[[self window] frame]
and it pretends to accept the new values, but the window stubbornly keeps showing up in the same position.
What gives?
I have solved this by
1- Make a new NSWindow subclass, overriding the center method, where you just make the frame of the new window positioned at whatever NSPoint you want:
class CenteredInParentWindow: NSWindow {
var parentMinX : CGFloat?
var parentMinY : CGFloat?
override func center() {
guard let parentMinX = parentMinX, let parentMinY = parentMinY else {
super.center()
return
}
self.setFrameOrigin(NSPoint(x: parentMinX, y: parentMinY))
}
}
2 - Set WindowController's window class to be the new NSWindow subclass, in Storyboard.
3- Instatiate the window controller and set the attributes of the subclassed window
let myWindowController = self.storyboard!.instantiateController(withIdentifier: "windowID") as! PlansWindowController
if let customWindow = myWindowController.window as? CenteredInParentWindow {
customWindow.parentMinX = NSApplication.shared.mainWindow?.frame.minX
customWindow.parentMinY = NSApplication.shared.mainWindow?.frame.minY
}
NSApp.runModal(for: myWindowController.window!)
}
You may need runModal method for making the window a modal one. Don't forget to include NSApp.stopModal() in the windowWillClose method which is available in NSWindowDelegate in your View controller
I programatically create an NSImage like this:
NSImageView *IconBox = [[NSImageView alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(0, 0, 350, 300)];
NSImage *capper = [[NSImage alloc] initWithData:[self.superview dataWithPDFInsideRect:[self.superview bounds]]];
IconBox.image = capper;
[self addSubview:IconBox];
This Image gets main Part of my Window and i want to make this window draggable anywhere, i know i need to set mouseDownCanMoveWindow, but this doesn't work, while this applies to the Windoow, but while my Image is the main visible part of the Window you cannot access its background, so i need to tell the Image to drag the Window,
i read i need to subclass the NSImage and override this Method, but how can i subclass a programatically created NSImage?
I already created the Class Files in my Project, but how can i tell the newly created Image to use this custom class?
Figured it out:
Class snap = NSClassFromString(#"snapper");
object_setClass(IconBox, [snap class]);
This does the trick, also ithe default Method moveWindowByMouseDown didn't work either, but this snippet did:
In the NSImage Subclass:
-(void)mouseDragged:(NSEvent *)theEvent
{
CGFloat deltax = [theEvent deltaX];
CGFloat deltay = [theEvent deltaY];
NSRect frame = [[self window] frame];
frame.origin.x += deltax;
frame.origin.y -= deltay;
[[self window] setFrameOrigin:frame.origin];
}
Let me rephrase the question:
How can I keep a child NSWindow (added to a main NSWindow using addChildWindow) the same size as the main window?
Old question:
I have two NSWindows: an uiWindow and an openglWindow. The uiWindow is borderless and initially the same size as the openglWindow. I add it as a child window. I would like to make the uiWindow follow any size changes that the openglWindow undergoes. To do that, I've subscribed to the delegate of openglWindow and I'm listening to the windowWillResize method. However, I'm confused now. I don't know which function to call on uiWindow to resize it. There are quite a few options:
setFrame: display:
`
contentRectForFrameRect
frameRectForContentRect
Below is the initialization code for the child window.
NSRect uiWindowRect = [self.openglWindow convertRectToScreen:((NSView*)self.openglWindow.contentView).bounds];
NSWindow* uiWindow = [[NSWindow alloc] initWithContentRect:uiWindowRect styleMask:NSBorderlessWindowMask backing:NSBackingStoreNonretained defer:NO];
[self.openglWindow addChildWindow:uiWindow ordered:NSWindowAbove];
I found a way that does exactly what I was looking for. Here's the code for reference:
-(void)windowDidResize:(NSNotification *)notification{
CGRect frame = CGRectMake(self.openglWindow.frame.origin.x,self.openglWindow.frame.origin.y, ((NSView*)self.openglWindow.contentView).frame.size.width, ((NSView*)self.openglWindow.contentView).frame.size.height);
[self.window setFrame:frame display:YES];
[self.window setFrameOrigin:NSMakePoint(self.openglWindow.frame.origin.x,self.openglWindow.frame.origin.y)];
[self.window viewsNeedDisplay];
}
I'd like to add a close button to an NSWindow programmatically. I can get the button to display, but there are no mouse-over or mouse-down effects. My "selector" never seems to get called when i click the button. I'm not really sure whats wrong and why this is so annoying.
Here is what I've been messing with:
closeButton = [NSWindow standardWindowButton:NSWindowCloseButton forStyleMask:self.styleMask];
NSView *themeFrame = [[self contentView] superview];
NSRect c = [themeFrame frame]; // c for "container"
NSRect aV = [closeButton frame]; // aV for "accessory view"
NSRect newFrame = NSMakeRect( c.size.width - aV.size.width - 5, // x position c.size.height - aV.size.height - 5, // y position aV.size.width, // width aV.size.height); // height
[closeButton setFrame:newFrame];
[themeFrame addSubview:closeButton];
[closeButton setAutoresizingMask:NSViewMaxXMargin | NSViewMinYMargin];
[closeButton setEnabled:YES];
[closeButton setTarget:self];
[closeButton setAction:NSSelectorFromString(#"testClick:") ];
Where "testClick" is just a memeber function of my class and is defined as such:
- (void)testClick:(id)sender
The problem seems to be the call to:
[themeFrame addSubview:closeButton];
where the themeFrame is: [[self contentView] superview] Just adding the button to [self contentView] works, but I'd like it added to the titlebar.
No Interface Builder please...
Potential issue # 1)
The way you're calling "NSSelectorFromString" seems incorrect to me. I don't think you can pass parameters via this way in Objective C.
Try this:
[closeButton setAction: #selector(closeWindow:)];
and create a new "closeWindow:" action that looks like:
- (void) closeWindow: (id) sender;
which closes the window.
Potential issue # 2)
Instead of:
closeButton = [NSWindow standardWindowButton:NSWindowCloseButton forStyleMask:self.styleMask];
NSView *themeFrame = [[self contentView] superview];
Why not use:
NSWindow * parentWindow = [[self contentView] window];
if(parentWindow)
{
closeButton = [parentWindow standardWindowButton:NSWindowCloseButton forStyleMask:self.styleMask];
}
I'm working on a Mac application with an NSScrollView, and I want the NSScrollView to have a custom background image. I used this code in the custom documentView NSView subclass:
- (void)drawRect:(NSRect)rect {
[[NSColor colorWithPatternImage:[NSImage imageNamed:#"wood.jpg"]] set];
NSRectFill(rect);
}
That displays a pattern image as a background for the documentView.
But now in Mac OS X Lion, the NSScrollView bounces when scrolling further than possible, showing ugly white space. How can I make the white space also being covered by the background image?
Instead of overriding drawRect:, use the scroll view's setBackgroundColor: method, passing the NSColor you created with the pattern image.
You should subclass use NSScrollView setBackgroundColor, but then you should subclass NSClipView like this to pin the texture origin to the top:
#implementation MYClipView
- (id)initWithFrame:(NSRect)frame
{
self = [super initWithFrame:frame];
if (self) {
// Initialization code here.
}
return self;
}
- (void)drawRect:(NSRect)dirtyRect
{
if (self.drawsBackground)
{
NSGraphicsContext* theContext = [NSGraphicsContext currentContext];
[theContext saveGraphicsState];
float xOffset = NSMinX([self convertRect:[self frame] toView:nil]);
float yOffset = NSMaxY([self convertRect:[self frame] toView:nil]);
[theContext setPatternPhase:NSMakePoint(xOffset, yOffset)];
NSColor* color = self.backgroundColor;
[color set];
NSRectFill([self bounds]);
[theContext restoreGraphicsState];
}
// Note: We don't call [super drawRect:dirtyRect] because we don't need it to draw over our background.
}
+ (void)replaceClipViewInScrollView:(NSScrollView*)scrollView
{
NSView* docView = [scrollView documentView]; //[[scrollView documentView] retain];
MYClipView* newClipView = nil;
newClipView = [[[self class] alloc] initWithFrame:[[scrollView contentView] frame]];
[newClipView setBackgroundColor:[[scrollView contentView] backgroundColor]];
[scrollView setContentView:(NSClipView*)newClipView]; [scrollView setDocumentView:docView];
// [newClipView release];
// [docView release];
}
#end
And call + (void)replaceClipViewInScrollView:(NSScrollView*)scrollView with the NSScrollView instance.
Put your drawRect code in an NSScrollView subclass. In IB, change the NSScrollView to use your custom subclass instead of NSScrollView. Also make sure to uncheck Draw Background in the scroll view's attributes inspector.
