Hi,
I have a control that needs to be highlighted when the font panel is visible. This turns out not to be an easy task. I can't find any notifications that will be triggered whenever the font panel is shown or is hidden.
windowDidUpdate: might do for discovering that the window is or has become visible, but it's a bit hawkish to use for this purpose.
windowWillClose: only notifies if the panel gets closed, not if it is ordered out.
I tried subclassing NSFontPanel by doing the following:
- (void)applicationWillFinishLaunching:(NSNotification *)aNotification
{
[NSFontManager setFontPanelFactory:[MY_FontPanel class]];
}
but it doesn't appear to work. The font panel returned by [NSFontPanel sharedFontPanel] continues to be NSFontPanel, not MY_FontPanel.
What I want to do is override orderFront: and orderOut: in my subclass so that I can send out some notifications whenever one of these is called.
Why does my call to setFontPanelFactory: not work, and how can I best achieve my stated goal?
Kind Regards,
António Nunes
