@implementation MiscUndoManager
/*"
Objects of the class MiscUndoManager provide an easy way to handle undo and redo actions. Clients of an MiscUndoManager instance make a method undoable by registering within the method an appropiate NSInvocation instance with the MiscUndoManager instance. Registering is done by sending the message #registerRecord: with the NSInvocation instance as argument. Registering an NSInvocation instance adds it to the current group of records. Undone is always a whole group of records. The message #startUndo:: starts a new group and sending #commitUndo adds the group to the undoArray ready to be undone.
Sending the MiscUndoManager instance the message #undo will undo the last commited group and put the MiscUndoManager instance in a "redo" state. Every group of records commited in this state are added to the redoArray thus providing an redo mechanism.
Since sometimes changes should be ignored (ie. all of the discrete movements of a shape in a drag loop should not be undoable, just the final overall move), the methods #disableUndoRegistration and #reenableUndoRegistration can be sent to control the registration process. For example, you might call %{[undoManager disableUndoRegistration]} on a #mouseDown: to prevent methods that register themselves with the undoManager to register each mouse drag, then you would call %{[undoManager reenableUndoRegistration]} on #mouseUp: with another call that would undo the drag loop
(ie, [undoManager registerRecord:aMoveInvocation] ).
There are two ways to construct the appropiate NSInvocation instances. The two ways will be illustrated below with an example. Suppose we have
a class Circle with instance variables %radius (a float) and %undoManager (an MiscUndoManager instance) and the undoable method #{-(void)setRadius:(float)aRadius}.
1.) Let the undoManager construct the NSInvocation instance.
You send the undoManager the message that will be called in the undo process and the undoManager
constructs the NSInvocation instance and registers it. Keep in mind two things: the message must be a message not implemented by
MiscUndoManager instances (i.e. #respondsToSelector: with the message selector should return NO) and the undoManager must first
know the target intended for the message (set it with #setCurrentTarget:). In our example we have:
- (void)setRadius:(float)aRadius
{
....
// start a new undo group
[undoManager startUndo:@"Undo Change Radius" :@"Redo Change Radius"];
// set the intended target for the message in the undo process
[undoManager setCurrentTarget:self];
// send the message to the undoManager. The casting is necessary otherwise
// you get a warning with "MiscUndoManager does not respond..."
[(id)undoManager setRadius:radius];
// commit group
[undoManager commitUndo];
radius = aRadius;
....
}
2.) Construct the NSInvocation instance yourself. In the example method we have:
- (void)setRadius:(float)aRadius
{
...
NSInvocation *undoRecord;
SEL undoSelector;
NSMethodSignature *undoSignature;
....
// start a new undo group
[undoManager startUndo:@"Undo Change Radius" :@"Redo Change Radius"];
// construct undoRecord
undoSelector = @selector(setRadius:);
undoSignature = [self methodSignatureForSelector:undoSelector];
undoRecord = [NSInvocation invocationWithMethodSignature:undoSignature];
[undoRecord setSelector:undoSelector];
[undoRecord setTarget:self];
[undoRecord setArgument:&radius atIndex:2];
[undoRecord retainArguments];
// register undoRecord
[undoManager registerRecord:undoRecord];
// commit group
[undoManager commitUndo];
radius = aRadius;
....
}
The method #setLevelsOfUndo: sets the number of levels of undo to maintain. When the number of records exceeds this amount, the excess is removed. Before and after each undo and redo the MiscUndoManager notifies the default notification center.
