The matter is that I need put a static text with the date of today
in a window.
The best way sould be with the european format: DD-MM-YY (28 Nov.
2005).
There is no European format. Every country in Europe has their own.
E.g. Germany has DD.MM.YY, Great Britain and France have DD/MM/YY
(IIRC), etc. I've never seen the one you show here. It looks kind of
like a reversed variant of ISO dates, which are YYYY-MM-DD. ISO dates
are also the closest you can get to a "European" date (and are used
in Sweden).
I don´t know what is the best way: NSDate or NSCalendar... for get
the date and NSText or NSTextView... for draw the string.
That's pretty much the two approaches I'd suggest. There's also some
sort of date/clock control. Carbon's had it since the Classic days,
but I think Apple gave us one for Cocoa a while ago. There's also a
bit of sample code (clock control) in your /Developer/Example/ folder
somewhere that you may want to have a look at.
I think you can also use an NSDateFormatter with an NSTextField.
Most of this stuff can be set up in Interface Builder without much
scripting (except for a setObjectValue: call to set the date you
want), so sample code wouldn't be very helpful here. Just fire up
Xcode and try it, and come back here if you can't get it working.
