How do I check to see if there is a second screen without throwing an exception if there isn't?

Currently my code is as follows: -

NSScreen* myQCScreen = [[NSScreen screens] objectAtIndex:1];

You need to read the NSScreen documentation, particularly for the "screens" method.


1. First up, you should enclose this in a @try/@catch block because, as the documentation notes, the method can raise a NSWindowServerCommunicationException

2. You can't make assumptions about the number of elements in the array returned by [NSScreen screens]; in the line above you are assuming that it has at least 2 elements (at index 0 and index 1), and if it has less then you're going to provoke an NSRangeException (again, see the NSArray documentation).

Various ways to write this but your code at a minimum needs to include this kind of logic (or similar)

NSArray *screens = nil;
@try
{
    screens = [NSScreen screens];
}
@catch (id e)
{
    NSLog(@"+[NSScreen screens] raised an exception");
}

if (screens && ([screens count] > 1))
{
    // do something with the second screen...
    NSScreen *myQCScreen = [screens objectAtIndex:1]; // etc

}
