This is a sample palette demonstrating the use of EDBConnectInspector. EDBConnectInspector is a replacement for NeXT's IBConnectInspector with the following features: It fully implements the functionality of IBConnectInspector (exceptions mentioned below). Also, there are only minor differences in the outfit of the interface to help the stressed programmer finding the right buttons. Additional features are: Outlets may be connected to more than one destination. Each outlet may be a target (not only outlets named "target"). Bugs and future releases: Due to lacking documentation for InterfaceBuilder it is not possible to access outlets and actions as entered in the class inspector. While outlets are no problem (you just have to add -getOutlets to the object inspected), actions depend on the destination and are therefore not reachable. In the current implementation you have to enter the name of the action instead of selecting one. I hope this limitation will be removed in the future NS versions. If then EDBConnectInspector didn't get obsolete (because IBConnectInspector is then documented also), I will fix this. Current documentation is in German. If you are one of the unlucky people who don't understand German, here the following clues: Look at DemoView.m. It tells you what you have to do. Look at EDBConnector.m's establishConnection. It documents the order of method calls, when destinations are tried to be set. Bug reports to ah@fml.tuwien.ac.at (Andreas Haleger). --- == Andreas == Wir entschuldigen uns fuer die Strapazen (Douglas Adams). NeXTmail accepted.
