NSView a frame for a NSWindow
If I understand the NSView correctly... it make a frame in the window (NSWindow)
Here is the code, not sure if its correct...
Applescript:
use framework "Foundation"
use framework "AppKit"
use scripting additions
property arguments : missing value
on run
if current application's NSThread's isMainThread() as boolean then
my performDialog:arguments
else
my performSelectorOnMainThread:"performDialog:" withObject:arguments waitUntilDone:true
end if
end run
on performDialog:arguments
set {theWidth, theHeight} to {600, 300}
set theWindow to createWindowWithRect(0, 0, theWidth, theHeight)
-- Set the NSRect for the NSView
set {topLeft, top, bottom, bottomRight} to {20, 20, 300, 150}
set viewFrame to createView(topLeft, top, bottom, bottomRight)
theWindow's contentView()'s addSubview:viewFrame
set thePopUpButton to createPopupButton({"Red", "Green", "Blue"}, topLeft, top / 2, bottom / 2, bottomRight)
viewFrame's addSubview:thePopUpButton
theWindow's |center|()
theWindow's makeKeyAndOrderFront:me
end performDialog:
on createPopupButton(entryList, xMin, yMin, xLen, yLen)
set popUpButtonSize to current application's NSMakeRect(xMin, yMin, xLen, yLen)
set thePopup to current application's NSPopUpButton's alloc()'s initWithFrame:popUpButtonSize
thePopup's addItemsWithTitles:entryList
thePopup's selectItemWithTitle:(item 1 of entryList)
return thePopup
end createPopupButton
on createWindowWithRect(xMin, yMin, xLen, yLen)
set windowSize to current application's NSMakeRect(xMin, yMin, xLen, yLen)
set winStyle to (current application's NSWindowStyleMaskTitled as integer) + (current application's NSWindowStyleMaskClosable as integer)
set theWindow to current application's NSWindow's alloc()'s initWithContentRect:windowSize styleMask:winStyle backing:2 defer:yes
return theWindow
end createWindowWithRect
on createView(xMin, yMin, xLen, yLen)
set frameSize to current application's NSMakeRect(xMin, yMin, xLen, yLen)
set theView to current application's NSView's alloc()'s initWithFrame:frameSize
end createView
Trying to understand the constantOffset between 2 controls of NSPopUpButton
If I change the constantOffset from 0 - 35 there less is greater distance between.

Applescript:

property constantOffset : 8
property arguments : missing value
on run
if current application's NSThread's isMainThread() as boolean then
my performDialog:arguments
else
my performSelectorOnMainThread:"performDialog:" withObject:arguments waitUntilDone:true
end if
end run
on performDialog:arguments
set {windowWidth, windowHeight} to {600, 300}
set theWindow to createWindowWithRect(0, 0, windowWidth, windowHeight)
-- Set the NSRect for the NSView
set {topLeft, top, bottom, bottomRight} to {constantOffset, 0, windowWidth / 2, windowHeight / 2}
set viewFrame to createView(topLeft, top, bottom, bottomRight)
theWindow's contentView()'s addSubview:viewFrame
set thePopUpButton1 to createPopupButton({"Red", "Green", "Blue"}, topLeft, top / 2, bottom / 2, bottomRight)
viewFrame's addSubview:thePopUpButton1
---
set {topLeft, top, bottom, bottomRight} to {bottom / 2 - constantOffset, 0, windowWidth / 2, windowHeight / 2}
set viewFrame to createView(topLeft, top, bottom, bottomRight)
theWindow's contentView()'s addSubview:viewFrame
set thePopUpButton2 to createPopupButton({"Strawberry", "Rasberry", "Blackberry"}, topLeft, top / 2, bottom / 2, bottomRight)
viewFrame's addSubview:thePopUpButton2
log viewFrame's frame()
theWindow's |center|()
theWindow's makeKeyAndOrderFront:me
end performDialog:
on createPopupButton(entryList, xMin, yMin, xLen, yLen)
set popUpButtonSize to current application's NSMakeRect(xMin, yMin, xLen, yLen)
set thePopup to current application's NSPopUpButton's alloc()'s initWithFrame:popUpButtonSize
thePopup's addItemsWithTitles:entryList
thePopup's selectItemWithTitle:(item 1 of entryList)
return thePopup
end createPopupButton
on createWindowWithRect(xMin, yMin, xLen, yLen)
set windowSize to current application's NSMakeRect(xMin, yMin, xLen, yLen)
set winStyle to (current application's NSWindowStyleMaskTitled as integer) + (current application's NSWindowStyleMaskClosable as integer)
set theWindow to current application's NSWindow's alloc()'s initWithContentRect:windowSize styleMask:winStyle backing:2 defer:yes
return theWindow
end createWindowWithRect
on createView(xMin, yMin, xLen, yLen)
set frameSize to current application's NSMakeRect(xMin, yMin, xLen, yLen)
set theView to current application's NSView's alloc()'s initWithFrame:frameSize
end createView

Re: NSView a frame for a NSWindow
Hi, Fredrik71.
Yes, everything seems to be correct. You create NSWindow as a parent object for placing further into some kind of hierarchy of views. In your case, you put the parent view in the window, and then you put the popup button in it.
Although, every NS button is also a special case of NSView. So you could put the pop up button directly in the window.( NSView simply creates empty frame).
Applescript:
use framework "Foundation"
use framework "AppKit"
use scripting additions
property arguments : missing value
on run
if current application's NSThread's isMainThread() as boolean then
my performDialog:arguments
else
my performSelectorOnMainThread:"performDialog:" withObject:arguments waitUntilDone:true
end if
end run
on performDialog:arguments
set {theWidth, theHeight} to {600, 300}
set theWindow to createWindowWithRect(0, 0, theWidth, theHeight)
-- Set the NSRect for the NSView
set {topLeft, top, bottom, bottomRight} to {20, 20, 300, 150}
set viewFrame to createPopupButton({"Red", "Green", "Blue"}, topLeft, top / 2, bottom / 2, bottomRight)
theWindow's setContentView:viewFrame
theWindow's |center|()
theWindow's makeKeyAndOrderFront:me
end performDialog:
on createPopupButton(entryList, xMin, yMin, xLen, yLen)
set popUpButtonSize to current application's NSMakeRect(xMin, yMin, xLen, yLen)
set thePopup to current application's NSPopUpButton's alloc()'s initWithFrame:popUpButtonSize
thePopup's addItemsWithTitles:entryList
thePopup's selectItemWithTitle:(item 1 of entryList)
return thePopup
end createPopupButton
on createWindowWithRect(xMin, yMin, xLen, yLen)
set windowSize to current application's NSMakeRect(xMin, yMin, xLen, yLen)
set winStyle to (current application's NSWindowStyleMaskTitled as integer) + (current application's NSWindowStyleMaskClosable as integer)
set theWindow to current application's NSWindow's alloc()'s initWithContentRect:windowSize styleMask:winStyle backing:2 defer:yes
return theWindow
end createWindowWithRect

Re: NSView a frame for a NSWindow
I would take the approach of creating the elements.
Window, View and Pop Up elements 1st.
Then add them.
View add subview popUpButton
Window set contentView:View.
If your adding multiple buttons you should look into
NSView’s addsubview:positioned:relativeTo:
https://developer.apple.com/documentati … guage=objc
Then only create one window, one view and two popUp Buttons.
Add the popUp1 normally.
NSview addSubView:popUp1
Then use the addSubview:popUp2 positioned:NSWindowBelow relativeTo:popUp1
Or if your already know your exact positionings.
Create a NSRect for each popUpButton.
popUp1’s setFrame:buttonFrame1
Or
popUp2’s setFrame:NSMakeRect(offsite, 150, ((windowWidth - offset x 2) / 2), windowWidth/2)
Then just add both subViews normally.
NSview addSubView:popUp1
NSview addSubView:popUp2

Re: NSView a frame for a NSWindow
You can add multiple buttons as well, without creating empty NSView. Directly: 1 window, 2 popup buttons:
Applescript:
property arguments : missing value
on run
if current application's NSThread's isMainThread() as boolean then
my performDialog:arguments
else
my performSelectorOnMainThread:"performDialog:" withObject:arguments waitUntilDone:true
end if
end run
on performDialog:arguments
set {theWidth, theHeight} to {600, 300}
set theWindow to createWindowWithRect(0, 0, theWidth, theHeight)
-- Set the NSRect for the NSView
set {topLeft, top, bottom, bottomRight} to {20, 20, 300, 150}
set viewFrame to createPopupButton({"Red", "Green", "Blue"}, topLeft, top / 2, bottom / 2, bottomRight)
theWindow's setContentView:viewFrame
set {topLeft, top, bottom, bottomRight} to {50, 50, 300, 150}
set viewFrame2 to createPopupButton({"Red", "Green", "Blue"}, topLeft, top / 2, bottom / 2, bottomRight)
theWindow's contentView()'s addSubview:viewFrame2
theWindow's |center|()
theWindow's makeKeyAndOrderFront:me
end performDialog:
on createPopupButton(entryList, xMin, yMin, xLen, yLen)
set popUpButtonSize to current application's NSMakeRect(xMin, yMin, xLen, yLen)
set thePopup to current application's NSPopUpButton's alloc()'s initWithFrame:popUpButtonSize
thePopup's addItemsWithTitles:entryList
thePopup's selectItemWithTitle:(item 1 of entryList)
return thePopup
end createPopupButton
on createWindowWithRect(xMin, yMin, xLen, yLen)
set windowSize to current application's NSMakeRect(xMin, yMin, xLen, yLen)
set winStyle to (current application's NSWindowStyleMaskTitled as integer) + (current application's NSWindowStyleMaskClosable as integer)
set theWindow to current application's NSWindow's alloc()'s initWithContentRect:windowSize styleMask:winStyle backing:2 defer:yes
return theWindow
end createWindowWithRect
NOTE: this approach works with method contentView's addsubview:positioned:relativeTo: as well. I tested it. And, I found NSScrollView more useful than pure NSView.
