- Hello everyone,
-
- I have been placing example 3.0 code on Sonata in the past few
- weeks, and due to time constraints, I haven't had the opportunity to let
- everyone know what I have done. All of these examples are in the
- directory /pub/next/submissions. They may be moved to either
- /pub/next/submissions/3.0-release/source (or to
- /pub/next/docs/MiniExamples, as they may become MiniExamples).
-
- PersonalPreferences.tar.Z
- -------------------------
- This is a custom loadable Preference for Preferences.app. It takes
- advantage of the Preferences API now available to developers in 3.0. If
- you want to make a Preference, here is where to start.
-
- NeXTWORLD_DragLab.tar.Z
- -----------------------
- This is example code that will be discussed in the Winter edition
- of NeXTWORLD mag. in a joint article by myself and Simson (with some input
- from Andrew Stone). It implements a view that uses the new 3.0 drag and
- drop categories and methods. This example could easily be modified to
- drag anything anywhere; including files, EPS, TIFF, Custom Data, etc.
-
- YourWS_Inspector.tar.Z
- ----------------------
- This is an example of how to create a custom Workspace Contents
- inspector. If, for example, you were to write a program similar to Draw,
- and you would like your users to be able to view your documents without
- running the program. You could create a custom contents inspector that
- had the ability to display your document. The inspector you create is
- register for a file extension, and when a user has a file with that
- extension selected in Workspace, and the contents inspector active, your
- custom inspector will be activated. This is really really cool. :-)
-
-
- So I hope that this code will make your jobs easier, and I hope to
- see examples of vendors using this code in the future. Comments are
- always welcome. Your examples are also welcome.
-
- Cheers,
-
