SwitchBox.palette is a simple palette that allows you to make those switchable views like in Preferences.app. You know the ones, where you, via some sort of menu, switch the interface on a panel (i.e. when the Preferences Panel changes as you select from the scrolling buttons). To use it you drag out a SwitchBox and place it on you panel. Then on separate panels of the size of the SwitchBox you lay out the alternate interfaces. Then connect the panel outlets of the SwitchBox (panel0..panel9) to the Panels you created. The region in the SwitchBox can be changes via two methods: -switchToTageOf: sender; or -switchTo:(int)aNumber; The first method looks at the senders tag, or if the sender is a kind of Matrix, the selected Cells tag and switches to that panel number. The second method switches to the panel number given. Make SwitchBox by tayping "make lib" in the Palette directory. From the resultant mess you need: SwitchBox.palette, libSwitchBox.a and SwitchBox.h After making the palette looke in the Eaxmple directory, it shows a simple example... you need not go further than Interface Builders test mode to try it. \n Thats about it....
