This is scrolling-text,-lists,-whatever in view mode; [Up]
Date: Sun 17-Jul-1989 18:42:35 From: Unknown Subject: scrolling text, lists, whatever Hi, I'm looking for suggestions about the best way to put a "list" of miscellaneous text things into a little scrolling box in a window, in a line-oriented fashion. For example, how is the Font Panel's scrolling list implemented, or the Browser? In particular, I'd like to be able to make sequential calls to some method like addStringToList:stringptr. With TextForms, you get a simple interface like setStringValue:, but if you graduate to Scroll Views, it seems that you have to read an entire stream, rather than just being able to supply strings one at a time. The View class seems too general in this case. The data for these "lists" (for lack of a better name) will likely come from a pipe, but some of it may be generated synthetically. Thanks for any info or suggestions.... Glenn Reid Adobe Systems >From: mike@shogun.cc.umich.edu (Michael Nowak)

Using IB, you can put a scrollingView in your application. This defaults with a docView of a Text object. If you free this, you can then set the docView to any view you want including custom views.
