Good evening.
I am trying to create an application that will perform a practical
joke on a co-worker. I know my way around AppleScript fairly well,
but my needs for this joke require the use of something more
substantial, hence Cocoa. This I do not know.
The app is intended to listen for the user to press the A, O or N
keys. When one of these keys is pressed an image is to appear over
all other windows for a brief second, then fade away. I have managed
to pull together an event tap to listen for the key presses, create
the window with image in it and wire up the interface with a controller.
I have gotten stuck, however, and am not sure how to proceed. The app
builds okay, but within about 2 minutes of running exits with status
5. In the run log are several warnings about the lack of an
autorelease pool and a message regarding an uncaught exception in the
window controller. I do not understand what the messages about the
pool are. I have ambiguous thoughts about the uncaught exception
which I might be able to solve with hours of tinkering and googling.
My questions are these: how can I resolve these entries in the run
log; how can I get the showWindow method to fire correctly?
