Hi there. I am creating a killer application. I have just a few
questions. At
http://developer.apple.com/techpubs/macosx/AdditionalTechnologies/PreferencePanes/
index.html, in the frame that says "Creating a simple Pref Pane." Most
of the code is in Carbon. Well I was wondering if it is possible to
make pref panes with Cocoa instead. Because Cocoa kicks Carbon's butt,
and I don't want to spend 4 months learning Carbon just for a little
task like this. Also does anybody know where any examples are for pref
panes? All help is welcome and appreciated. Help!!
Relax. The API the docs refer to is CFPreferences; this is plain-vanilla
C, which you already know if you are a Cocoa programmer :-)
It took me all of about 45 minutes to learn enough about the Core
Foundation (the "CF" in CFPreferences) to be able to program a
preferences pane. And, you can use a lot of Cocoa code, because many
CFxxxx entities can be typecast to the corresponding NSxxxx entities.
Try it; you'll like it!
