Reply to Regarding hiding the menu bar...
Claude: If I do a setMenuBarVisible(false), that'll hide it for my app, but when the 'special' Application starts up, there's the menubar. So doing _HIHideMenuBar, is getting half the requirement done, but if the mouse moves into the 'show menu bar' region at the top of the screen the menu bar appears. We're trying to prevent that. John

Reply to Regarding hiding the menu bar...
Claude: I use presentation options to hide the dock and menu bar (and other options) within my app, but we need to globally hide the menu bar as we start up an app that has a menu bar. (Short version of a long story: previous developers, access to source, lawyers, and time to re-implement it). I just need stop the menu bar from sliding down when when it's been told to hide while this app is running. John

Reply to What causes lldb_unnamed_symbol
Quinn: (Where's my Manfred Mann (or Bob Dylan)? It used to be around here someplace...). I've attached a crash log. Doesn't make much sense - isKindOfClass is failing. Could it be the return type, it's a 'long long' that's been typedef'd. Any pointers would be appreciated. John PS: I remember that you rang me a long time ago about some AD stuff I was having a problem with... QuinnsCrashReport.txt

Reply to Drawing Text At an Angle
Well after a wee dram of Grand Marnier, I think I got this figured out. There are CATransform3D structures that have a m34 property and the trick was to set that to an appropriate value that controls how much 'tilt' there is in the text. You also have to apply a CATransform3DRotate to the text. Then in a text view layer, apply the transform to the layer that contains your text. Whew! I'll try and strip the code down to something small and post it here (for posterity ;-)) John

Reply to Passcode Button UI
Hi Claude:A little test harness I bashed together kinda works. Problem is that any items around a button I'm animating moves. If you check out the Watch unlock or Calculator, the resized buttons are 'over' the button beneath it. And there's the bit that a number in the corner like 7 or nine expand into the center; where 5 zooms up in all directions. I'm going to play around with UIGraphics and friends and see what I can see.Any constructive ideas are appreciated.John
