I'm learning Xcode/IB/Objective C/Cocoa on Leopard. I've done C, Perl, Java, etc. mostly on Linux, but the last time I wrote a Mac program it was to copy the ROM of a FatMac to put it into an upgraded 128.

I have a few questions. I gather from lurking on this list for a while that the OT Nazis are active here, but that I'm allowed one OT post. This is it :-)


What happened to the MIDI synth? As best I can tell, it's been entirely deprecated as of 10.5. Are replacement functions coming? Should I go ahead and use the deprecated ones? Or is it on it's way out? And if it's been EOLed, what to do for beeps and burbles? (I need a whole lot of them, real fast (my program is for blind people) -- I don't have time to read sound files off a disk, and I want to set pitch and timbre programmatically)


Is there a way to programmatically position the mouse cursor from a Cocoa class, or do I need to reach down to Quartz for this? And if I do, is there an easy way to translate between coordinate systems?

Is it better to launch things in the /Applications folder with an Applescript or to use the NSTask class (or is there a better way)?

Am I correct in thinking there is a mouse event for every click? If so, how do you tell there's been a double-click before starting action on a single-click? Set a timer?

1) There's no "one OT post" rule. But please post topics to appropriate lists. The first question should go to coreaudio-api, the middle two to cocoa-dev, the last one to hit-dev. A complete list is at http://lists.apple.com/mailman/listinfo


2) Please post only one topic per message.

3) Please use an informative Subject on each message.

4) Two things you can do that will irritate the list administrator are to call list members "nazis" and to misuse the apostrophe in "it's" when you mean "its".

At least you spell Xcode correctly, so I'll let this stand.

Chris
