How would one display an image in coacoa using NSImageView.

In Java i would do:

JLabel pict;

pict.setIcon( new Icon( "filename" ) );
//The file exists in the directory of the class files.

something to that effect. how would i do that in coacoa.

So far I've set up:

- (void)awakeFromNib
{
NSImage *image = [NSImage imageNamed:[picts objectAtIndex: 0]];
[ pict setImage:image ];
}

where picts is an array of file names, and pict is the NSImageView. I know I'm doing something wrong cause the program attempts to launch but then quits before displaying anything.

I'm really new to this so don't be afraid to dumb this down.

Also, how does one post to the omnigroup macosx-dev maillist?

TIA

You can use NSImageView the - (void)setImageNSImage *)image method is probably what you want. You can also render pictures in your own custom NSView using - (void)compositeToPointNSPoint)aPoint operationNSCompositingOperation)op in NSImage. If your picture isn't going to change much you can just drag an NSImageView into a window in interface builder and set the image that it displays in the attributes part of the inspector. To let interface builder know about the image, just drag the image into the images tab. You address the image by name, in the attributes part of the inspector. No coding is necessary if you do it that way.

I didn't know you can do that.

I'll try it out. Thanks.
