[NEW][V4CC] Interface Builder Plugin – Zero Lines of Code!

In version 4.8 we add one more cool feature to Valentina for Cocoa (V4CC) ADK – Interface Builder plugin!

V4CC Interface Builder Plugin allows you to develop a Cocoa application with embedded V4CC.framework without writing any code to link GUI with a Valentina database. Instead you will use bindings and few Valentina Controllers.

You can read Manual of V4CC IB plugin and learn few tutorial lessons.

[V4CC][NEW] DataSource for VCursor and VTable classes.

NSTableView class has setDataSource method that allows assign a NSTableDataSource instance to be a data source for that table view.

In v4.8 we have to add VCursorDataSource and VTableDataSource classes that are able to do this job — easy display a cursor or a table into a given NSTableView. As easy as a single line of code:

mCursorDataSource = [[VCursorDataSource alloc] 
                         initWithCursor:mCursor view:tvListBox];

[V4CC][NEW] KVC for VCursor and VTable.

In v4.8 we adding support of Key Value Coding (KVC) to VCursor and VTable classes.

This is implemented as VCursor (KVC) category with a couple of methods:

@interface VCursor (KVC)
                // If wrong key is specified then nil is returned.
- (id)		valueForKey:(NSString *)key;

                // If wrong key is specified then nothing is changed.
- (void)	setValue:(id)value forKey:(NSString*)key;

[V4CC][New] Extended Support of Cocoa and Obj-C Features

In v4.8 of Valentina for Cocoa we greatly improving support of Cocoa and Obj-C 2.0 features. For this we have add  V4CC/sources/cocoa folder, which contains all additional code for this. In such way, we keep very separate standard Valentina ADK API sources and this additional features sources.

OS X Loads DYLIB from App folder ignoring install_path … Oops?

Our Valentina Studio project has one Application target and dozen of plugins targets. Plugins are made as bundles.
All these targets build products into the same folder “Debug (Native)” or “Release (Universal)”.
Then Run Scripts do copy plugins into App package and using install_name utility correct install paths for them.

XCODE Breakpoints Not Working

Yesterday I have decide to resolve problem with absolutely not working breakpoints in the XCODE 3.2.3 on OS X 10.6 (may be others also) working with our Valentina Studio project.

In the past we also did have such problems, but not so bad. Breakpoints did work sometimes, in worse case we was able to insert DebugStr(“\p”) into code, and that 100% did stop in the debugger as for app, so fot its plugins and for database engine DYLIBs.

And yesterday I have to see the first time that even DebugStr() do not stops. Wow.

I have spent many hours googling about this problem. And have found few key places.
