[Rubycocoa-talk] having an image button rotating as iSync

[Yvon T. <yvo...@gm...>]

i have a rubycocoa application similar to iSync and i'd like having the sync
button rotating.

i able from a thread to make it rotating when the sync button isn't
activated.

the same when i use an NSTimer in place of a ruby thread.

the sync button stays with an image pressed and darker.

no other action are possible until the action of this button is terminated.

are those probs specific to rubycocoa ?

Yvon,

What you need to do is write a custom view that would draw a rotated  
image. Then you can use NSAnimation or NSTimer to force the display of  
the control.

There are no problems specific to RubyCocoa.

then you mean, apart from the NSButton ?
that's to say not having the NSButton image rotating (as in apple iSync) but
rather another image aside of it ?

thanks, anyway !

I would subclass NSButton, provide a custom drawing method that would  
draw the image, then trigger a timer (using either NSTimer or  
NSAnimation) that would increment an index and force the button to be  
redrawn. The image would be drawn in a rotated mode based on the timer  
index.

NO, there is no need for a subclass, Luc Heinrich gave me yesterday a
working solution :

to make the image of a button rotating, this has to be done in the
NSRunLoop.

then, the action associated to this "rotating button" has to be done in
another thread, this works fine with ruby Tread !

Best,

It might not be needed to subclass, but it would probably be the best
way from a design point of view :)
As in, the button subclass contains the code related to drawing itself...

Cheers,
Eloy
