Sigh... just when I thought it was all over, and I had finally gotten these
darn windows working, I turn out to be wrong. Groan...
This is basically what I've got:
Pre-read notes: variables windowid and scrollid are defined as 'id'. Window.h
and lots of other nice things are #included -- I don't think that's the
problem. "Without further ado", here's the code:
windowid = [Window newContent:myRect:style:type:mask:YES]; // line 574
[windowid makeKeyAndOrderFront]; // line 575
scrollid = [ScrollView newFrame:&myRect]; // line 576
Post-read notes: cc complains (at compile time) that it can't find the method
"newContent", the method on the first line of code. It also complains that it
can't find "newFrame", but it crashes before it gets to that point on a run.
Sigh...
This is what cc says when I make the application:
ButtonFnctns.m:574: warning: cannot find factory method.
ButtonFnctns.m:574: warning: return type for `newContent:::::' defaults to id.
But if it can't find the method, how does it know that it takes 5 arguments?
And aren't I assigning it to a variable of type id (windowid) ??
What am I doing wrong?

Code: - MakeWindowAndDrawText:(int) storynum:(int) priority { int fd, style, type, mask; NXRect myRect; id windowid, scrollid; /* set style, mask, myRect and type to the desired settings */ windowid = [Window newContent:myRect:style:type:mask:YES]; [windowid makeKeyAndOrderFront]; scrollid = [ScrollView newFrame:&myRect]; [[windowid contentView] setAutoresizeSubviews:YES]; [[windowid contentView] addSubview:scrollid]; /* etc... */ } Sigh... any more suggestions?

For line 574, try something like: windowid = [Window newContent:&myRect style:myStyle backing:NX_BUFFERED buttonMask:NX_ALLBUTTONS defer:YES]; For line 575, it's: [windowid makeKeyAndOrderFront:self]; If you look at the specs for the Window class, this method requires an unused but required argument to conform to the target/action paradigm. Line 576 is fine syntactically. The compiler complains because you haven't declared the prototype method by including <appkit/ScrollView.h>. For each class that you use, make sure you include the header file for that class. Hope this helps. Eric Ly IBM Palo Alto

You can also put a line like: #import <appkit/appkit.h> This will include everything in sight, so you won't have to worry about getting your particular include file. Of course, this means that the compiles will be a little slower, but that's the price you have to pay. | Dan Zerkle home:(805) 968-4683 morning:961-2434 afternoon:687-0110 | | dz@cornu.ucsb.edu dz%cornu@ucsbuxa.bitnet ...ucbvax!hub!cornu!dz | | Snailmail: 6681 Berkshire Terrace #5, Isla Vista, CA 93117 | | Disclaimer: If it's wrong or stupid, pretend I didn't do it. |
