• Go back to the Library window and navigate to Library > Cocoa > Views & Cells > Inputs & Values. Scroll down to the Date Picker and drag it to the upper-right corner of the empty space at the bottom of the Chef's Diary window. • In the Date Picker Attributes inspector, make sure the 'Month, Day and Year' and the 'Hour, Minute, and Second' radio buttons are selected, and leave the other settings as you find them. Once you've finished this recipe, each entry in the diary will be marked by a date-time heading, down to the second, and the date picker will automatically display the date and time of the current entry. Displaying the seconds allows users to make multiple entries less than a minute apart. • Select the date picker in the window.

The resulting software framework received the name Cocoa for the sake of expediency, because the name had already been trademarked by Apple. For many years before this present use of the name, Apple's Cocoa trademark had originated as the name of a multimedia project design application for children. The application was at the under the name KidSim, and was then renamed and trademarked as 'Cocoa'.

• In the Library window, navigate to Library > Cocoa > Views & Cells > Buttons, and drag two Push Buttons to the empty space at the bottom of the diary window. Position them one above the other toward the left side of the window, using the guides that temporarily appear to help you put them in the right place. These guides conform to the requirements of Apple's Human Interface Guidelines, making it easy for you to build a user interface that meets Mac users' expectations. Magic blu ray ripper. The bottom button should snap to the guides defining the margins at the left and bottom edges of the window.
