Class Methods |
allocWithoutPanelFromZone: |
+ allocWithoutPanelFromZone:(NXZone *)zone |
Returns a new NIDomainPanel object without the panel. For use with a different panel layout. Use with init. |
initialize |
+ initialize |
Initializes the NetInfo Kit zone; sent by the run-time system. Don't invoke or override this method. |
new |
+ new |
Returns the single NIDomainPanel instance per application. If one doesn't exist, it is created. |
Instance Methods |
browser:fillMatrix:inColumn: |
(int)browser:sender fillMatrix:matrix inColumn:(int)column |
Sent automatically by the browser when a column needs updating, this NXBrowser delegate method fills the indicated browser column with data. |
browser:loadCell:atRow:inColumn: |
browser:sender loadCell:cell atRow:(int)row inColumn:(int)column |
Sent automatically by the browser, this NXBrowser delegate method fills the indicated cell with data. |
cancel: |
cancel:sender |
This method is invoked when the Cancel button is clicked. Returns self. |
cellWasHitInBrowser: |
cellWasHitInBrowser:(id)sender |
This method is invoked when the user clicks in the browser. Returns self. |
completeDomain |
completeDomain |
This method is invoked to complete the text field when the user presses the Esc key, when the OK button is pressed, or when the current selection moves out of the text field. Returns self if the path was successfully completed; otherwise, returns nil. |
domain |
(const char *)domain |
Returns the name of the domain selected in the panel, or a localized string that indicates that the path was invalid. |
exitFlags |
(int)exitFlags |
Returns the exit flags from the panel, indicating whether the user chose OK or Cancel. |
fillNextColumn |
fillNextColumn |
Fills the next column of the domain hierarchy. Sent by browser:fillMatrix:inColumn:. Returns self, or nil if an error occurred. |
freeLastColumn |
freeLastColumn |
Clears the data in the rightmost column of the browser. Returns self. |
init |
init |
Initializes the NIDomainPanel object. For use with allocWithoutPanelFromZone:. Returns self. |
loadDomainBrowser |
loadDomainBrowser |
Loads the current domain information into the browser, filling to match the local domain. Returns self, or nil if an error occurred.

loadDomainBrowserFrom: |
loadDomainBrowserFrom:(const char *)aDomainName |
Loads the browser with information from the named domain rather than the local domain. Returns self, or nil if an error occurred.
See also: loadDomainBrowser |
ok: |

Returns the Panel displayed by the NIDomainPanel. |
panelSizeDefaultName |
(const char *)panelSizeDefaultName |
Returns the name of a constant indicating the panel's default size.
See also: resizePanelBeforeShowing: |
resizePanelBeforeShowing: |
resizePanelBeforeShowing:(const char *)panelDefaultName |
Resizes the panel to the size indicated by the constant identified with panelDefaultName, which can be obtained with the panelSizeDefaultName method. Resizes the panel to the larger of the user's last selection or the indicated panel minimum. Useful when changing languages, for example, because the minimum panel size may increase. Returns nil if panelDefaultName is NULL; otherwise, returns self.
