MBPreferencesController Class Reference

Declared in

MBPreferencesController.h

Overview

MBPreferencesController provides an easy, reusable implementation of a standard preferences window.

MBPreferencesController handles the creation and display of the preferences window as well as switching between different "modules" using the toolbar.

Tasks

Preference Modules

• modules property The different modules to install into the preferences window.
• - moduleForIdentifier: The preference module that corresponds to the given identifier.

Accessing the Shared Instance

• + sharedController The shared controller for the application's preferences window. All interaction with the window should be done through this controller.

Properties

modules

The different modules to install into the preferences window.

@property NSArray *modules

Discussion

Each item in the array must conform to the MBPreferencesModule protocol. It is suggested (but not required) that these items be subclasses of NSViewController.

Changing this value will result in the toolbar being cleared and repopulated from the ground up. As such, the modules should usually be set once and left that way.
