PB BLOG : What’s behind the PB GUI objects by freak

I believe the OSX column contains the older Carbon objects PB used before the migration to Cocoa.

I find that table very useful, could be possible to add a new column with the updated Cocoa objects (NSView, NSControl, etc) PB uses now ? Or maybe make an entirely new updated post ? I just wouldn't remove the Carbon info, even if old.

Thanks.

I have taken the html source of the table in the blog post and added the information for OS X with the Cocoa framework:



If Fred or freak are interested in posting the modified table in their blog (and perhaps correcting possible wrong entries) they should send me a PM...

Thank you
Can I ask you how did you determine all the objects types ?

Can I ask you how did you determine all the objects types ?

For the Cocoa framework on MacOS it's very easy. You can simply "ask" each object for its class name with

Code: Select all

Debug "Class = " + PeekS(CocoaMessage(0, CocoaMessage(0, Object, "className"), "UTF8String"), -1, #PB_UTF8)

And cocoa framework master wilbert has already demonstrated how to find out the chain of all inherited objects of a gadget:
