dock

How can I get events when the Dock is showing or hiding? You can get a notification if the dock is visible or not using Carbon. I do not know of any way to do it in Cocoa. (I haven't tested this; it's from the code here ) Create your callback method: #import <Carbon/Carbon.h> static const EventTypeSpec appEvents[] = { { kEventClassApplication, kEventAppSystemUIModeChanged } }; OSStatus DockChangedHandler(EventHandlerCallRef inCallRef, EventRef event, void *userData) { OSStatus status = eventNotHandledErr; switch(GetEventClass(event)) { case kEventClassApplication: { SystemUIMode *outMode;

My Cocoa application supports dropping files onto its Dock icon, but I'd like different behavior depending on whether a modifier key is held down (Command, Option, etc.). I tried checking the modifierFlags for the currentEvent , but they are the same regardless of whether a modifier is held down, or not (I was testing with the Option key). Code: // Code is inside my AppDelegate - (void)application:(NSApplication *)theApplication openFiles:(NSArray *)files { BOOL optDown = (([[NSApp currentEvent] modifierFlags] & NSAlternateKeyMask) == NSAlternateKeyMask); NSLog(@"flags: %u, down? %@", [[NSApp

I'm working on a simple SIMBL bundle to decrease the FullScreen animation time in Lion. It's no big deal to change the animation of the windows, however doing that for the menubar/desktop animation part (where the menubar+desktop slide to the left) is a problem. I think that Dock.app is responsible for that animation. However, SIMBL can't inject a bundle into Dock.app (same with Finder). I tried creating a .dylib which then would be loaded into Dock by setting the LSEnvironment in Dock's Info.plist but that failed. Is there any good way to inject a bundle/dylib into Dock.app? Thanks in Advance

I just would like to know if it is possible to dock a windows form on top of the user screen? I have been trying to do this by manually setting the position of my form to the coordinates I want. But using this method, however, allows the user to change the position of the form just by dragging it. I want to make the form docked to the upper portion of the screen since this window form will server as a menu for the project I am making. Thanks a lot. :) I would consider using the Control.Dock property along with one of the DockStyle enumeration values. You might need to play with the Layout too,

I have a WinForms Form with a few controls on it. All of them are GrouBox controls and I want them stacked, with a vertical margin set between them. I have set the Dock property to Top and it stacks them alright, but ignores the margin (controls are as close to each other as they can be). Can these margins still somehow be enforced? Basically, it would calculate the regular docked position (as if the margin was 0) then apply the margin. Is something like this possible? The other way I've tried this is with FlowLayoutPanel with TopDown option. However, then I need to manually set the size and
