Hi Ross,
Thanks for the comments on FloorPlan.
I'm interested in the latter option you suggest- capturing the
position and restoring it. Would that look something like this?
var savedIndex = [[[furnitureView superview] subviews]
indexOfObjectIdenticalTo:self] ;
...
[[furnitureView superview] _insertSubview:self

Actually, this was a design choice in the FloorPlan demo. It specifically chooses to move the view to the front.
See these lines in EditorView.j:
[[furnitureView superview] addSubview:self];
[[furnitureView superview] addSubview:furnitureView];
The first is adding the circular rotater dongle. The second is moving the existing furniture element forward. If you wanted to change the way this works, you could insert the editor dongle behind the existing index of the furniture view like this:

Of course, the other thing you might consider is building the UI in nib2cib or in Atlas, which would help eliminate the need for a fair amount of code.

Odd. A fresh checkout of the code on my development laptop works
great, but when I try it on my home computer and am getting
nondescript HTTP 500 errors on the back end. I'll have to investigate
this a bit further.
Thanks for the pointer toward LPKit, that looks like a great set of
add-ons for Cappuccino. I was being lazy in my first pass and skipped

Back-to-front sequencing of CPViews (or use CALayers)?

2010-01-05T06:55:49Z

Hi all,
First post, apologies in advance if I'm miss some delicate point of
cap/obj-j forum protocol :)
Playing around with the FloorPlan demo raised a curious behavior that
I'm trying to defeat.
I have noticed that when one of the FurnitureView (: CPView) objects
is nominated to be the active EditorView (: CPView) element, it gets

Possible Typo in CPDragServer

2010-01-05T09:32:34Z

Hi everyone,
I jave been banging my head for the best part of last week against the
drag and drop stuff in the jake branch. It is looking better and
better with the introduction of CPDragServer and the new CPTextField -
congratulations to everyone involved.
I have come across a possible typo in the CPDragServer source.

Thanks Tom! Have you seen any Cappuccino/Sinatra apps on Github that
are available to check out so I could get more of an idea on how to
get them to work well together?
It seems like you could do something like:
get '/:input' do
# some code here
end
in Sinatra and get something good going.

Great resource. What branch was it generated for? Is it updated on a daily basis?

Re: Resizable CPCollectionViewItem?

2010-01-05T02:08:37Z

Ok, I reviewed the Flickr demo code once again. Here is what happens:
Once slider gets new value some operation is called that resizes CollectionViewItems by setting new Min and Max size. Resize is done manually.
In overall, in my application (displaying a simple list inside the window of some text messages) I could track myself any superview resize action (say, with delegate) and adjust size of CollectionView by calling setMinItemSize and setMaxItemSize in exactly the same way it is done in Flickr demo above.
