SwitchBox
INHERITS FROM Box : View : Responder : Object
DECLARED IN SwitchBox.h
CLASS DESCRIPTION
A SwitchBox is a View that allows its subview to be switched on request. The subview is switched to onee of a set of predefined views. The separate subviews are assigned to the views of other panels, windows or boxes. This allows the interface on a region of a panel to change dynamically as it does in the Preferences application where one panel is used to serve as the working space for several distinct tasks.

INSTANCE METHODS
delegate
- delegate
Returns the delegate of the NXBrowser, the object that provides the data to be browsed.
See also: - setDelegate:, ªMETHODS IMPLEMENTED BY THE DELEGATEº
free
- free
Releases the storage for the SwitchBox but not all its subviews.
See also: - free (View)
initFrame:
- initFrame:(const NXRect *)frameRect
Initializes the SwitchBox, which must be a newly allocated SwitchBox instance. The SwitchBox's frame rectangle is made equivalent to that pointed to by frameRect. The title position is set to NX_NOTITLE,
the border type is NX_BEZEL. The defaultPanel is set to -1. Returns self.
See also: - initFrame (View), + alloc (Object), + allocFromZone: (Object)
setDefaultPanel:
- setDefaultPanel:(int)aNumber
Set the value of defaultPanel to aNumber. Returns self.
setDelegate:
- setDelegate:anObject
Sets the delegate of the NXBrowser to anObject and returns self. If anObject is of a class that implements the browser:fillMatrix:inColumn: method (normal or lazy delegates) or the browser:loadCell:atRow:inColumn and browser:getNumRowsInColumn: methods (very lazy delegate), it is set as the NXBrowser's delegate; otherwise the delegate is set to nil. Returns self.

switchTo:
- switchTo:(int)anIndex
Switches the SwitchBox' subview to the subview in the panelList at anIndex. Returns self.
See also: ªMETHODS IMPLEMENTED BY THE DELEGATEº
switchToTagOf:
- switchToTagOf:sender
Switches the SwitchBox' subview to the subview in the panelList at [sender tag]. If, however, sender isKindOf Matrix then [[sender selectedCell] tag] is used. Returns self.

METHODS IMPLEMENTED BY THE DELEGATE
willSwitchTo:
- willSwitchTo:(int)anIndex
This method invoked by SwitchBox when it has been asked to switch to subview in panelList at anIndex.
Returns nil if the switch is to be aborted. No attempt is made to reconcile with the original sender an aborted switch that was motivated by switchToTagOf:.
didSwitchTo:
- didSwitchTo:(int)anIndex
This method invoked by SwitchBox when it has switched to subview in panelList at anIndex.
