If we use NSTrackingArea
for some specified region then we can implement such method to change the default cursor:
-(void)cursorUpdate:(NSEvent *)theEvent {
[[NSCursor resizeLeftCursor] set];
}
I implementing custom resize for NSWindow
, which uses NSBorderlessWindowMask
. And want to use native Lion's two arrows cursors. But such type of cursors not exist in NSCursor API.
Can I get such native cursors somehow from code?
Or maybe I must redraw them by hand (not a good idea)?
WebKit contains images that look exactly the same as the cursors used by the system, in the following directory:
/System/Library/Frameworks/WebKit.framework/Versions/Current/Frameworks/WebCore.framework/Resources/
...for example, the file "northWestSouthEastResizeCursor.png".
The ones present in WebKit are not available in retina resolution unfortunatly, looking in
/System/Library/Frameworks/ApplicationServices.framework/Versions/A/Frameworks/HIServices.framework/Versions/A/Resources/cursors
you'll find pdf version of resizing cursors.
Here's some sample code for loading vector-based (and therefore retina capable) cursors from HIServices.framework:
NSString *cursorName = @"resizenortheastsouthwest";
NSString *cursorPath = [@"/System/Library/Frameworks/ApplicationServices.framework/Versions/A/Frameworks/HIServices.framework/Versions/A/Resources/cursors" stringByAppendingPathComponent:cursorName];
NSImage *image = [[NSImage alloc] initByReferencingFile:[cursorPath stringByAppendingPathComponent:@"cursor.pdf"]];
NSDictionary *info = [NSDictionary dictionaryWithContentsOfFile:[cursorPath stringByAppendingPathComponent:@"info.plist"]];
NSCursor *cursor = [[NSCursor alloc] initWithImage:image hotSpot:NSMakePoint([[info valueForKey:@"hotx"] doubleValue], [[info valueForKey:@"hoty"] doubleValue])];
Note I don't know whether this works in sandboxed Apps.
There are undocumented methods for creating such cursors.
Here's an example:
#pragma clang diagnostic push
#pragma clang diagnostic ignored "-Wundeclared-selector"
if ([NSCursor respondsToSelector:@selector(_windowResizeNorthSouthCursor)])
{
self.resizeUpDownCursor = [NSCursor performSelector:@selector(_windowResizeNorthSouthCursor)];
}
else
{
self.resizeUpDownCursor = [NSCursor resizeUpDownCursor];
}
#pragma clang diagnostic pop
