I'm working on a document-based application that has a couple tabs. Most of the
tabs contain NSTableViews, NSTextFields, etc.
I want to provide a way for the user to print the data contained in them (just
text, possibly with some grid lines), but not the actual table view. I've read
through (admittedly fairly quickly) the "Printing Topics for Cocoa" document
from Apple but it is more geared towards printing what you see on the screen.
I also may want to print different data depending on which tab the user is on.
What is the appropriate way to do this? Do I override drawRect: for each tab
such as:
- (void)drawRect:(NSRect)r {
if ( [NSGraphicsContext currentContextDrawingToScreen] ) {
[super drawRect:r]
}
else {
// somehow send drawing instructions for the text I want
}
}
or do I somehow create an off screen view that I "draw" the text and grid lines
into?
A pointer in the correct direction or pointers to other documentation or
examples would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Dave
