Hi guys,
I'm planning on developping a daemon app whose preferences are set in
a system preferences pane. This is the first time I have to develop
such a project and I don't know where to start.
there is an apple's sample code about preferences pane
http://developer.apple.com/samplecode/PrefsPane/index.html
So, here I come !
- What kind of project should I use for my daemon ? What am I
supposed
to do to create en app with no dock icon ?
--to create an app with no dock icon, refer to:
http://forums.macosxhints.com/archive/index.php/t-7193.html
add a key-value (NSUIElement = 1) to the info.plist, key is
NSUIElement and value "1" is a string type
- Should I have two separated projects for the daemon and the
preferences pane or only one, with two targets ?
- I'd like my preferences pane to update some informations when the
daemon is running (the way .Mac pane works) and, of course, when a
preference is set in the pane, the daemon needs to accordingly. What
is the best way to achieve this ? Can my daemon "communicate" with
the
pane in some way ?
Have you tried,
<http://developer.apple.com/documentation/MacOSX/Conceptual/
BPSystemStartup/Articles/DesigningDaemons.html>?
[7th hit for the word "daemon" on developer.apple.com, similar results
for say "preference pane"]
Cheers,
