IconView
\i0 is a a reworking of the
\i IconView
\i0 object provided in NeXT's 2.0
\i Examples
\i0 distribution. \
\
What's new in this mutation is the bundling of Speaker/Listener code with the
\i IconView
\i0 object, a method to activate the
\i IconView
\i0 at startup, and a delegate method to notify the
\i IconView
\i0 's controller that an icon will be dropped into the view.\
\
To use an
\i IconView
\i0 in your own projects, place this code into your project directory, and drag
\i IconView.h
\i0 into your project's
\i Classes
\i0 suitcase. After
\i IconView.h
\i0 is parsed by
\i Interface Builder
\i0 , drag a
\i CustomView
\i0 into any window, and set its class to
\i IconView
\i0 from the
\i CustomView Attributes
\i0 Inspector panel.\
\
To activate the
\i IconView
\i0 , send it a
\b beginListening
\b0 message (this can only be done from Objective-C code). To control whether files are accepted or rejected by the
\i IconView
\i0 , implement an
\b (int)willAcceptIcon:sender ok:(int*)flag
\b0 method in your
\i IconView
\i0 's delegate:\

The default behaviour of the
\i IconView
\i0 object is to accept all dropped files.\
