TestButtonDown is a software that provides an integer counter that increases every half of a second.
TestButtonDown is a software that displays an integer counter that increments every 1/5 of a second via an NSTimer. The software has a separate section with a Button labeled "Push Me and Hold". By pressing and releasing the button, the counter resets to zero.
The unique aspect of this software is its ability to demonstrate the effectiveness of NSTimer, even when the button is held down. To see this unique feature, hold down the button as directed. You will observe that the counter continues to increment regardless of whether the button is held down or not.
The project further illustrates the use of the Cocoa API for programming in the Mac OS X environment, including regular display updates using NSTimer and using NSEventTrackingRunLoopMode to receive timer events while the mouse is down.
The software's requirements include Xcode to build the app from the source code. TestButtonDown is a valuable tool for software developers who require demonstrations of the Cocoa API's capabilities in Mac OS X.
