Thread: Another one down the line : driveXpress

This is my Address Book. Presently I’m working on it. Not finished yet but mostly completed. I’m also having some problem with the customized selection bar (the red one around MJ); not sure how to do that. And the search option is partly working. I’ve added an OSK (a scale down version, only for the address book search). It’s not fully working with NSView object but the search is fully working using the physical keyboard. I need some help.



Here is a very simple web browser – nothing sophisticated but can do most of the tasks. There is small preference window for the browser for changing the home page and few other options.


I’ve started this Xcode/Cocoa stuffs just a little more than two months ago, so my experience should be considered as zero. Whatever I’ve done so far, it wouldn’t be possible with out any help from Jirka Jirout – he helped me a lot to write most of the code. So, if anything good comes out, someday, you have to thank Jirka. Mean time, please download (from here) and the try this small demo and give me some feedback, especially about the practicality and usability in a car. I still don’t have a touch screen in my car, so I appreciate if anyone put this small app in the car and tell me how does it look in real and how is the visibility in the day light. If you guys like this, then I’ll continue other wise I’ll drop it. I’ve lazy enough to do something only for myself.

Thank you very much for your comments and advices. Cheers!!!

Well, that was the one of the easiest one to make – just take the WebView object and connect the buttons to it’s pre-defined sets of Target/Actions (e.g. GoBack, GoForward etc.) and you done. Thus, you’ll get the most basic browser without writing even a line of code.

Yeah, other wise there is no meaning of doing this. I have plan to do that too, but as I told earlier, I’m still learning and doing so simply I won’t be able to do such stuffs as fast as you guys do. But I’ll do that by sure if I get inspired by you people.

Looks nice! Pretty graphics!

Great work, looks like it will be awesome.
