Hi, all,
In Interface Builder 3 (or even before), create a new Application nib,
and wire up a button in the default window to FirstResponder -- one of
the methods that's displayed is -fax:. I found a PDF copy somewhere
of the OpenStep Programming Reference, which contains the only
reference that I can find to this method:
fax:
– (void)fax:(id)sender
Prints theNSView and all its subviews to a fax modem. Note that faxing
is
platform specific, therefore this method is not part of the OpenStep
specification. See alsoprint:, addToPageSetup.
I understand from this description that it may not have been part of
the OpenStep specification, but why is this method nowhere in the
Cocoa docs, not even perhaps listed as "deprecated"? If it's not part
of the OpenStep specification, why would this undocumented method be
listed under the default IB First Responder methods, even on Leopard
with Xcode 3?
A search of the archives produced nothing, so I assume that this is
not relevant to most people. I do not at this moment intend to
attempt to fax, especially since most computers these days no longer
come with modems; rather, this is more a matter of intellectual
curiosity at this point.
Cheers,
Andrew
