Is there a way to make this kind of application in xcode?

I want to make a simple window with a web browser in it that can only display 1 webpage I tell it to exactly like the Runescape Client on Runescape's website. Is this possible?

You could do basically the same thing in Safari 4 by saving a page as a web application, and no coding required!

Wow...i'll have to definitely try that out lol

 

Just did it, very nice feature indeed

Yeah, its really easy to do using Xcode. Just use the Web View object in Interface Builder and using a bit of code you can set it to whatever web page you like

It's not as easy as pcwiz says, but if you look in the developer documentation for WebView, you can get it :censored2:

It really is quite easy to do with AppleScript Studio, don't know about Cocoa though. Pretty simple, make an empty AppleScript studio project, open the NIB with Interface Builder, drag in a web view, name it and associate it with your main AppleScript, then open the Application AppleScript attributes and find the Application >> launched attribute, tick the checkbox, save the NIB then open your AppleScript and put this code in:

 

on launched
loadPage from "http://the-site-you-want-to-open.com"
end launched

on loadPage from theURL
set URLWithString to call method "URLWithString:" of class "NSURL" with parameter theURL
set requestWithURL to call method "requestWithURL:" of class "NSURLRequest" with parameter URLWithString
tell window "-whatever your window name is--"
	set mainFrame to call method "mainFrame" of object (view "--whatever your web view name is--")
end tell
call method "loadRequest:" of mainFrame with parameter requestWithURL
end loadPage

NSURLRequest *urlRequest = [NSURLRequest requestWithURL:[NSURL URLWithString:@"http://website.com"]];
[webView loadRequest:urlRequest];

[alloutmacstoday]

NSURLRequest *urlRequest = [NSURLRequest requestWithURL:[NSURL URLWithString:@"http://website.com"]];
[webView loadRequest:urlRequest];

Yeah, that's how I'd do it!

 

Obj-c is much better to do thigs in that AS S

Cocoa is better obviously, but we all have to start somewhere right?

C# ftw...

I wrote my app in applescript too. It is powerful for controlling other apps. I can do stuff in applescript, that MAMP (written in cocoa) cant do! True, applescript isn't a programming language per-se, but it is pretty powerful People can use what they wan.t Its personal preference.

Ok just got Xcode and I;m quite confused on where to start. How do I make a Apple Script Studio thing?

[skyhighmac]

File > New Project, then click "AppleScript Application" under "Application" and click next & finish the wizard. Thats how you create a project, then open up MainMenu.nib and that opens up interface builder (which does just as its name implies). Then start scripting in (yourappname).applescript. To add new scripts, right click in your project, click on "New File" and then AppleScript Text File, and make sure it is added to your target (your main app in this case)

I'm sure by now you guys have expressed your views on AppleScript clearly enough. So now this argument needs to stop.
