I have OSX App that contains 2 NSWindowControllers. My problem is described by few steps:
Launch the app with 2 windows
Select the window of another app
Put 1 of the windows in front of anther app window and the second will stay in the bottom.
Close the window in the top.
The second window will be brought to the top immediately.(I need to fix it and keep my second window in the bottom.)
Also I hope to cancel this behavior. Not just make an opposite action like NSApp.hide()/NSApp.deactivate etc.
I know that it is a default behavor(e.g. Finder do the same), but I have to disable it. Also the case I've just described is a bit strange, but in my app it is really needed =(
I've tried to override becomeKey, becomeMain for main window, but it hasn't help.
override func becomeKey() {
}
override func becomeMain() {
}
PS
I'll be thankful for any ideas.

I've created a plugin and it works fine when I open the project but as soon as I press ctrl + s to save the scene for the first time since opening, the buttons on the plugin (Close_btn in this case) stop working
tool
extends EditorPlugin
var Key_Btn=null;
var UI=load("res://addons/Plugin_Name/UI.tscn").instance();
func show_UI():
get_editor_interface().add_child(UI)
func close_UI():
if(get_editor_interface().has_node(UI.name)):
get_editor_interface().remove_child(UI);
func _enter_tree():
Key_Btn=Button.new();
Key_Btn.text=" Key ";
Key_Btn.flat=true;
add_control_to_container(CONTAINER_CANVAS_EDITOR_MENU,Key_Btn)
Key_Btn.connect("pressed",self,"show_UI")
func _exit_tree():
close_UI();
remove_control_from_container(CONTAINER_CANVAS_EDITOR_MENU,Key_Btn)
This is what the plugin button looks like:
The UI that pops up when you press the button:
How do I solve this?
I tried your code. I did modify the UI as I describe below. However, with your code, at no point the UI or the button to open it stopped working.
This is what I tried (closing and opening the project between tests):
Saving, then opening the UI. Then closing the UI and opening it again.
Opening the UI, then closing it, then saving, then opening it again.
Opening the UI, saving with the UI open, closing it, then opening it again.
I tested on Godot 3.3, 3.4,, 3.4.3 and 3.5 beta 1.
Since you have a Button called Transparent Background. I had it set to Full Rect, and set the alpha of its self_modulate to make it transparent. Consequently it won't let me interact with anything in the editor…
To be able to close the UI, I had to add a script to Control Main that looks like this:
tool
extends Control
func close():
if is_inside_tree():
get_parent().remove_child(self)
Don't forget to make a tool script.
And I connected the press signal from the Transparent Background and Close_btn to the close method I added.
An alternative would have been to emit a signal from the UI and on the EditorPlugin have it connected to close_UI… I didn't do that because I didn't want to change your code. And since it all worked with that code, I can say that issue for you is not that code.
Also be aware that you load an instance the UI scene on the initialization of your EditorPlugin. In consequence…
Some modifications to that scene won't be reflected on the EditorPlugin until you disable and enable it again, or load the project again.
And I say "some modifications", because you will see reflected the modifications to the resources it had when loaded. For example, I can modify the script I attached, or re-import texture, and so on. However, if I replace the resource with a new one, I will see the old resource on the already loaded UI.
With that in mind, I tried modifying the script I attached to introduce an error and saved… And the UI still appears. Except, since the script I attached was not working, I could not close the UI, so I had to close Godot altogether.
In fact, the only way I have been able to make the button stop working after saving was by introducing an error in the EditorPlugin code and saving. I can only assume this is what happened to you.
I have tried looking for an answer to this but can't seem to see anything about it.
I have a piece of software on my laptop (not written by me), that I want to customise. Some of the tasks I do are very repetitive, and could be simplified by just pressing a button on the Touch Bar that executes a number of commands.
Is it possible to write a Touch Bar app that either:
1) Customises the application's original TouchBar app (for which there is none)
2) Runs only when that application is running, and hides when the application is out of focus
Thanks
I believe BetterTouchTool can do that.
Also in the "App Specific" button you can customise when to hide system touch bar and when to show it again
I'm new in Mac Application development. I want to create a small tool which having a small window fixed position at the right bottom of the screen like this picture:
Is it possible to do that?
It's possible - but I wouldn't recommend it, as it could be a bad user experience.
The solution is simple, though: set the .isMovable property of the window to false.
For example, for a window IBOutlet, setting:
window.isMovable = false
in applicationDidFinishLaunching works well.
You can also, for example, use window.setFrameOrigin(_ point: NSPoint) to first set it at a fixed position.
If you secondary-click on the Dock you can click the Turn Hiding On option to automatically hide the Dock. Alternatively, you can go to System Preferences > Dock and click the Automatically hide and show the Dock.
I want to mimic that functionality from within an app I am making (which is basically a status bar icon app) and preferably in Swift.
The code I have written so far to turn on the Dock Automatic Hiding functionality is the following:
// Update the value for key "autohide" in com.apple.dock.plist, located in ~/Library/Preferences/.
var dict = NSUserDefaults.standardUserDefaults().persistentDomainForName("com.apple.dock")
dict.updateValue(true, forKey: "autohide")
NSUserDefaults.standardUserDefaults().setPersistentDomain(dict, forName: "com.apple.dock")
// Send notification to the OS.
dispatch_async(dispatch_get_main_queue()) {
CFNotificationCenterPostNotification(CFNotificationCenterGetDistributedCenter(), "com.apple.dock.prefchanged", nil, nil, true)
}
The first part of the code updates a value in a plist file and I have confirmed that that is working. The second part sends a notification to the OS to tell it that a value has been changed in that plist, which I have also confirmed to be working.
However, these two things are not making the Dock hide, making me believe I need to do something else. Or made my approach to the problem is wrong? How do I make the Dock start hiding?
PS: I have read something about a private, undocumented API called CoreDock, but I would like to avoid going that way, as it may cause many problems...
Almost certainly better to use AppleScript or the Scripting Bridge to do this. The following script turns Dock autohiding on:
tell application "System Events"
set autohide of dock preferences to true
end tell
You can run that using NSAppleScript.
I am currently facing an issue with fixing the location of SC.say pop up on the screen. The default behaviour of this pop up is okay, as in , it comes at the center of the screen. But then, once you drag this pop up to a corner of the screen, then , the next time when this pop up comes , it comes at that same corner where you had dragged it to. The default behaviour of this pop up (as far as the location is concerned) changes when the user starts dragging it. Is there a way to switch back to the default behaviour irrespective of where the user drags this pop up to?? I checked the javadoc of this SC class, but couldn't get any function that would let us specify the location where this pop up should come.
SmartGWT version : 3.0
GWT version : 2.4

If you didn't find an easy solution to this, I think the easiest way is doing a "SC.say" by yourself.
it's very easy to replicate the built-in dialogs and then add your own functionality.
Something could help you
Canvas popUp = Canvas.getById("isc_globalWarn_body");
popUp.setTop(where it was);
popUp.setLeft(.......);
popUp.setWidth(...);
etc.....
I find the id with the console and the Canvas static method on a post somewhere on the net I don't remember where.
