I need to make a simple modification to NSPrintPanel. Because my app
deals with documents whose pages might have non-numeric names (e.g.,
Cover, 22A, iii), I'd like the "Copies & Pages" pane's NSTextFields
to be able to display/accept values other than integers. I realize
that I can endow my NSPrintPanel with an accessory view, but what
I'd really like to do is replace the Copies & Pages pane with one of
my own. But I'd still like to retain all the other panes, for
obvious reasons. There doesn't seem to be too much in the API for
NSPrintPanel that'll let me do this and I really, really don't want
to have to make my own custom print panel from scratch. Scouring the
docs and the web for solutions hasn't helped much -- the best I can
come up with is creating an NSPrintInfo object with a modified
dictionary, but even that won't let me set the start and end pages
to anything other than NSNumbers.
Has anyone here confronted this problem before?
What you need is to create your own Copies & Pages PDE that replaces
Apple's. You'll have to re-implement all the functionality of the
standard Apple PDE but that's probably not too hard.
