COCOA quests?

Exist some thing in OSX (cocoa or other way) similar to MSAPI:

FindWindow_(0, win_name.s)
SetParent_(hWnd,WindowID(window))
SendMessage_(hWnd,#WM_CLOSE,0,0)
MoveWindow_(hWnd,x,y,w,h,#True)

Somebody can help with this?
Thanks a lot!

It helps if you explain what those windows api calls actually do.

On OSX you use CocoaMessage.
For example to close a window

Code:

CocoaMessage(0, WindowID(0), "close")

or to add a child window

Code:

CocoaMessage(0, WindowID(0), "addChildWindow:", WindowID(1), "ordered:", 1); NSWindowAbove = 1

Wow! Thanks willbert!

Why not with native PB-Function ResizeWindow(...)

Thanks for help.

Screen coordinates are flipped. (0, 0) is the bottom left of the screen.

Set bottom left coordinate of window

Code:

Point.NSPoint\x = 100
Point\y = 100
CocoaMessage(0, WindowID(0), "setFrameOrigin:@", @Point)

Set top left coordinate of window

Code:

Point.NSPoint\x = 100
Point\y = 100
CocoaMessage(0, WindowID(0), "setFrameTopLeftPoint:@", @Point)

Center window

Code:

CocoaMessage(0, WindowID(0), "center")

In regards to Center Window:

Just be aware that your perception of center will probably not match Apple's perception of center.

More info in this thread.

Is there something like this in cocoa?

Code:

SetParent_ (GadgetID (Gadget_1), GadgetID (Gadget_2))

You can use addSubview:

Code:

OpenWindow(0, 0, 0, 320, 250, "addSubview: example", #PB_Window_SystemMenu | #PB_Window_ScreenCentered)
FrameGadget(0, 10, 10, 300, 50, "FrameGadget")
TextGadget(1, 0, 0, 250, 20, "TextGadget")

CocoaMessage(0, GadgetID(0), "addSubview:", GadgetID(1))

Repeat
Until WaitWindowEvent() = #PB_Event_CloseWindow

Hi, in principle, it solved my problem at the moment, thank you.
But why here from the bottom up?
It does not move the listview, listicon, tree.
Can you help me with this?
Thanks again.

Code:

OpenWindow(0, 0, 0, 320, 320, "addSubview: example", #PB_Window_SystemMenu | #PB_Window_ScreenCentered)
CanvasGadget(0, 10, 10, 300, 300)
ButtonGadget(1, 50, 10, 150, 20, "ButtonGadget")

CocoaMessage(0, GadgetID(0), "addSubview:", GadgetID(1))


; ResizeGadget(1, #PB_Ignore, 300-20-10, #PB_Ignore, #PB_Ignore)
     
Repeat
Until WaitWindowEvent() = #PB_Event_CloseWindow

I'm not sure if I understand your question but with Cocoa, coordinates are different.
(0,0) is bottom left instead of top left.
PureBasic normally handles this for you so coordinates work the same on all supported platforms but in this case you will have to handle the different coordinates yourself.

I talk about it.

Code:

OpenWindow(0, 0, 0, 320, 320, "addSubview: example", #PB_Window_SystemMenu | #PB_Window_ScreenCentered)

CanvasGadget(0, 10, 10, 300, 300)
ListViewGadget(1, 50, 10, 150, 50)
AddGadgetItem(1,-1, "ListView_1")
AddGadgetItem(1,-1, "ListView_2")

CocoaMessage(0, GadgetID(0), "addSubview:", GadgetID(1))
     
Repeat
Until WaitWindowEvent() = #PB_Event_CloseWindow

Sorry, I don't know a solution.

Canvas is not just a simple Cocoa object. It's made up of multiple objects.

I don't know if you are aware of it but you can use a canvas as a container.

Code:

OpenWindow(0, 0, 0, 320, 320, "Canvas container", #PB_Window_SystemMenu | #PB_Window_ScreenCentered)

CanvasGadget(0, 10, 10, 300, 300, #PB_Canvas_Container)
ListViewGadget(1, 50, 10, 150, 50)
CloseGadgetList()
AddGadgetItem(1,-1, "ListView_1")
AddGadgetItem(1,-1, "ListView_2")

Repeat
Until WaitWindowEvent() = #PB_Event_CloseWindow

Similarly, the list view consists of several objects. I think the problem is with this.
in Linux it was also similar, but there I could get a parent and a child, but here I do not know how to do it. :oops:

And generally, how do you convert the code of the apple into the code of the purebasic
why the apple documentation has two functions?
How to use these functions in the Purebasic?
I do not understand help me please.

Code:

; func addSubview(_ view: UIView)
; func addSubview(_ view: NSView)
CocoaMessage (0, GadgetID (Gadget), "addSubview:", GadgetID (Gadget_1)) 

Why doesn't it work in the same way?
What is going on here where you can find out how you know where you read it?

Code:

; func bringSubviewToFront(_ view: UIView)
CocoaMessage (0, GadgetID (Gadget), "bringSubviewToFront:", GadgetID (Gadget_1))
