Sure, what code do you currently have and what exactly is the issue you're having?

Yea sure i used the code from this:
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/...ee-system-memory-on-mac-like-the-activity-mon

But I can't get it to work.

It looks like that code already sets a label, called memLabel, to store that text. So stick it in your controller and hook up an outlet called memLabel to your label in your XIB file.

Thanks but it looks like this still is not working or maybe I am doing something wrong. Can you help I have included the source code if you want to edit or help me.
Please thanks in advance.

For future reference, please just post the relevant code between

 and [/ code] tags so it appears right in your post... it's easier to read than having to open a thumbnail. You included the error message, so that's good.

Your error message says it all - there's no property for an NSTextField called text. If you open up the class reference, you can see that that's so, but also, at the top of the class reference, they mention a method by name that I think you'll find helpful. Have a look for yourself, it's in the [b]Overview[/b] section:

[url=https://developer.apple.com/library/mac/#documentation/Cocoa/Reference/ApplicationKit/Classes/NSTextField_Class/Reference/Reference.html]NSTextField Class Reference[/url]

(By the way, you should learn to check the class references. Just Google the name of the class and "Class Reference" and the first result will almost always be the official documentation on the class straight from Apple, and they'll almost always have exactly the information that you want to use the class.)

I found not why how to do this can you help me?
I want it to be similar to activity monitor.

You need to be more specific, David. I dont think anyone will code your app for you. So please be more specific

Please thanks in advance.

Using [_memTest setStringValue:[my variable stringValue]]; should fix the error you're getting in your screenshot.
