How can I convert an ASOC to Studio?

Richard · November 22, 2009, 1:25pm

Firstly how can I use notifications (textDidChange_, applicationShouldHandleReopen_hasVisibleWindows_) and secondly use cocoa methods, which I would now prefer to any Studio ways of doing things. Plus how do I link objects to the script? Meanwhile I will look in unscripted

Hi,

the pre Snow Leopard AppleScript Studio version includes event handlers for many purposes.
The names are similar to the (AppleScript)ObjC names e.g. begin editing, end editing, changed, should begin editing, should end editing for text fields

Ahhhh changed, OK how do I link objects to variables like I would with links and property?

StefanK · November 22, 2009, 2:57pm

Name the objects in the AppleScript tab of Inspector in Interface Builder and use this syntax

set myVariable to a reference to text field "user" of box "myBox" of tab view "userView" of window "main"

Isn’t there a terminal command to get that to show?

StefanK · November 22, 2009, 3:44pm

Sorry, I don’t understand

I believe in 10.6 Studio is depreciated but can be unhidden with some sort of terminal command.

StefanK · November 22, 2009, 3:52pm

Ah, I see, yes there is a way to enable AppleScript Studio support

defaults write com.apple.InterfaceBuilder3 IBEnableAppleScriptStudioSupport -bool YES

Richard · November 22, 2009, 4:23pm

Thanks thats great. What about for Xcode?

StefanK · November 22, 2009, 4:28pm

Nope.

Apple has removed the AppleScript templates for creating new projects

What can I do for applicationShouldHandleReopen_hasVisibleWindows_ ?

Shane_Stanley · November 23, 2009, 3:44am

If you mean how do you use it, you add it as a handler to your application delegate, and return either true or false, depending on how you want the app to respond. It’s probably more an issue with doc-based apps.

“Convert an ASOC to Studio” Sorry no I mean the Studio equivalent.

How can I build projects for 10.4?

Craig_Williams · November 24, 2009, 9:47pm

The best way to build projects for previous versions of the OS are to use that OS to build them with.
So, use 10.4 to build applications for 10.4.

Ha! Where will I get Tiger now???

Craig_Williams · November 24, 2009, 10:36pm

Ebay

Richard · November 24, 2009, 10:58pm

Not worth it. :lol:

Craig_Williams · November 24, 2009, 11:12pm

I know it’s a pain. I have a second hd in my G5 that has a Tiger install. I rarely use it but it has come in handy on more than one occasion.

Richard · November 24, 2009, 11:19pm

Mind doing a small task for me Craig. And only if you want to, a debug?.. If there is a problem.
