Dear cocoa list,
I'm new to the Cocoa world, and so far am having a great time learning
it and think it's pretty cool.
However, I just hit a big stumbling block.
My background is Carbon, and as such, I've been used to having a date
control, like what you can see in System Preferences. Basically, 3
text fields + an NSStepper on the end. I guess I should've researched
whether it actually existed in Cocoa, but I just assumed that this was
a basic control, and that it probably is in there.
But here's the thing - I really, really need it. And I want to put it
in an NSCell.
See, I'm creating a window that has a list of choices. Each choice is
prefixed with a label. There are 3 choice types. One is normal text
field to type into. Another is a popup menu. The third choice is a
date.
Might look something like this:
Some text: ________________
Some popup: Popup choice 1
Some date: 10 / 15 / 2004
I figured out how to put the first two choices into an NSTableView,
thanks to recent advice offered on this list. But I forgot about the
date part. I'd really like to use a date control, as this
functionality matches what I'm doing in other apps my company makes.
So, assuming this control doesn't exist in Cocoa, I have two questions:
1) How can I create something like this from scratch (or does this
exist already) and embed it into an NSCell?
2) How hard is it to add a Carbon control into a Cocoa window? And in
this case, an NSCell? Is it even feasible?
Thanks in advance for any help.
-Dan.
