Hey everyone!

This must sound pretty darn stupid, but since I'm a newbie and am experimenting with the examples provided with the Apple Developer Tools Documentation, but I can't figure out where you specify the file types to save to or open in save/open panels. I looked at the SimpleToolbar example, which can save simple rtf files and open them, but can't find the related code

!

Maybe some of you can send me some advice on this one...

thanks guys,

If I understand correctly, the method for an open panel looks like:

<BLOCKQUOTE><font size="1"face="Geneva, Verdana, Arial">code:</font><HR><pre><font size=1 face=courier>
- (void)beginSheetForDirectory

NSString *)path
file

NSString * name)
typesNSArray *)types
modalForWindow

NSWindow *)docWindow
modalDelegate

id)delegate
didEndSelector

SEL)didEndSelector
contextInfo

void *)contextInfo
</font>[/code]

types is where you can specify the file types to be allowed for opening. This can be a array of strings generated by you, or it can be an automatically generated one (for example, "types:[NSImage imageFileTypes]".

(For more info, see Cocoa Developer Documentation -> File, Resource and Process Management -> Application File Management -> NSOpenPanel (or NSSavePanel))

Thanks!

I'll take a look at it in a few hours when I get home from work...
