Re: Help needed


Your borderless window will have a custom view in it that fills with the tooltip color and contains the appropriate text. Dragging the mouse should call a method to display the tooltip if it's not currently displayed, then set its origin to somewhere near the mouse pointer.

Really, this boils down to research. You'll want to read (thoroughly) the documentation for NSWindow.

You can also learn about borderless windows here: http:// www.cocoadev.com/index.pl?BorderlessWindow

This wiki page also discusses the same approach I'm recommending: http://www.cocoadev.com/index.pl?AnimatingDragImages


You may also want to learn about custom views and drawing here: http://developer.apple.com/documentation/Cocoa/Conceptual/DrawViews/ index.html

Also, you'll get a better response from the community if you take the time to thoroughly read the documentation and ask more specific questions, rather than a general "help me with this" post. :-) This helps you learn and minimizes what everyone else has to do to help you (which makes them want to help you more).

   You will likely need to do this with a borderless, custom window
and custom drawing. You'll re-position the window with your mouse
event code to follow the pointer as you're drawing your line.

Hi,

I need help in drawing a line with the tooltip.

Below is the brief explanation of the problem.

I am Trying my hands with Sketch example that is in the Example
Section of
Developer Tools (XCode 2.0).

I am selecting line tool for drawing a line in view. When I should
click in
View area (mouse down for drawing) and start drawing, updated
tooltip should
appear from the starting point to the end point of the line (mouse
released).

Can anyone guide me how to do this.

Regards,
Imtiyaz.
