macOS Animating a textview

[RutgerB]

Hi


In my application I have a textview (called minute22). I use this code to change it's frame:

[minute22 setFrame:NSMakeRect(100,100,200,200)];//Just some random values

What I want to do is to move the textview animated. The x and y view should change animated.(the width and height can stay the same)


Thanks for helping me

If you're on Leopard, you can use the animator proxy like so:

[[minute22 animator] setFrameOrigin:NSMakePoint(100, 100)];

I'm using Leopard but it doesn't do anything.
The textview just appears immediately at it's new position.

What about embedding your text view inside a parent view and animating the parent view with the animator proxy?

Personally I would do it like:

newFramePosition = NSMakeRect(0.0f, 0.0f, 100.f, 
                                 100.0f);   // Random sizes

[[minute22 animator] setFrame:newFramePosition];

Think this should work as it is used a bit differently in Core Animation for Mac OSX by Bill Dudley. But basically the idea should be the same.

Thanks, this works

Additional question
How can I set a duration for the animation?
