Changing initial settings view in NSPrintPanel or NSPageLayout


  • Subject: Changing initial settings view in NSPrintPanel or NSPageLayout

So, I want my application to let users customise how they print the contents
of the page.   So much so, that the default printing values are not going to
be that common and there is no one 'most common' layout.

So, after reading through the various printing docs, I thought I'd
setAccessoryPanel on the NSPageLayout and the NSPrintPanel.

Except that when you bring up either dialog, the "custom application panel"
is so buried, that I, as a full time mac user for over 18 months, didn't
even know they EXISTED, let alone would have ever discovered them.

So, my question would be:  is there a way to bring up these dialogs with the
accessory panel shown by default?  or should i be creating my own page
layout dialog?  that doesn't sound like too much fun, since the current one
seems to manage a lot of page settings and things like that which I would
rather not implement fully if I could avoid it.

Any suggestions on how to proceed?


thanks, marc. _______________________________________________ Do not post admin requests to the list. They will be ignored. Cocoa-dev mailing list (email@hidden) Help/Unsubscribe/Update your Subscription: This email sent to email@hidden
