Comment on Garbage Collection and KVO and NSNotificationCenter, Oh My! by garbage disposal

Hello Cocoaconvert,
I know what you mean, Washing a refuse truck, a garbage truck or a trash truck is tremendously powerful as these vans are developed in a specified way that the holes and minimal bins these vans has will spray all the h2o on you. The drinking water will occur back again from all various angles and will soak you. Hence, any dirt or soil on the truck will be on you. These vans are awfully really difficult to wash due to the fact just one has to soap up almost every single sq. of the total rubbish truck.
Thx.

My question is when do you disable screen updates when the start window is an NSOpenPanel? I haven’t been able to disable updates before the cancel button removes the panel from the screen leading to bad flicker at the beginning of the animation.

I just figured this out today. You need to disable the screen updates. As mentioned in the Blob, it’s found in the Flickr app. It goes something like this:

//do the screen disabling/enabling to prevent flicker
NSDisableScreenUpdates();

//make the final window visible
[endWindow orderWindow:NSWindowAbove relativeTo:[_flipWindow windowNumber]];
//order the animating window out
[_flipWindow orderOut:self];

//fixup stuff on the final window
[endWindow setAlphaValue:1.0];
if (isKey) {
[endWindow makeKeyWindow];
}
[endWindow display];

[_flipWindow release];

NSEnableScreenUpdates();

I’ve been smashing my head against the wall with this, but how do you avoid the flicker when animating the NSOpenPanel back to the start window? I’ve tried everything, but I can’t seem to get it to let me capture the cancel click before the open panel is actually closed.
I’ve tried:
- using NSWindow delegate methods on the open panel (apparently, none of the NSWindow delegate methods work)
- monitoring panel:userEnteredFilename:confirmed: (not called)
- showing the dialog with a callback (callback happens AFTER the panel disappears)

and none of these work. I’m getting really frustrated and am hoping someone reading this can help me out! Thanks in advance!
