Hi,
Anyone ever delve into some of the System PreferencePanes like Energy
Saver? Go right into the Resources folder and open the nib. All the
panes that include a lock/unlock icon, with associated text , seem to
include a thing called an NIAuthenticationButton.
If I drag this custom control into my Preference pane I see a
tantalisingly useful, yet not quite usable, control, when I run my
Preference Pane in System Preferences. My PreferencePane suddenly has a
fully working lock/unlock authentication button with fully localised
text. This is so cool!
However, if I am correct it's not possible for me to use this as it's
not part of Cocoa.
That is correct.
Is it defined by some other Preference Pane, and I only seem to get
this behavior because my PrefPane is running in the same context.
Not quite. The behavior is defined as part of the higher level
frameworks within which Preference Panes live.
Anone have any ideas how to hook into this control?
You cannot and should not use this control. It is highly likely that
it's implementation will change or be removed in future versions of Mac
OS X.
