I have a PyObjC Document-based Application set up by Xcode
(2.4).
When I build the default project, but and then change the
document
window to contain an NSTableView, the app prints the data
from the
TableView. I would like to take charge of the print
operation to
print a modified version of the view.
According to the docs, for a Cocoa app, my "NSDocument
subclass must
override printShowingPrintPanel: to create and run the print
operation for the document." A Cocoa Document-based
Application will
not print if you don't do this, whereas the PyObjC one
doesn't need
to do this (and in fact won't call the method if I do
override it in
my NSDocument subclass).
I thought of adding a modified Print item to the File menu,
but I
don't know how to connect the new menu item to my NSDocument
subclass. In MainMenu.nib, File's Owner's class is
NSApplication. I
can set my NSDocument to be the App delegate, but there
doesn't seem
to be an appropriate delegate method for printing.
I thought of trying to put my document at the front of the
responder
chain, but I can't get to the window. File's owner in the
document.nib file has an outlet set to the window, but when
I do
"print self.window" from the document I get
"None."
What's the right way to do this?
Thanks.
