Vlad:
For some reason cmd-A does not work in our NSOpenPanel to select
the current contents of the browser but navigation keystrokes do
work. Is there something obvious that I am missing? Any clues?
Corbin:
Do you have an edit menu with Select All (Cmd-A)? If not..you
might have to add one. Others may chime in if there is a different
work around.
Vlad:
Our app does have Select All in Edit menu but since NSOpenModal is
run as modal dialog, it is disabled with the rest of menu commands.
I did a quick (far from exhaustive) survey and see that Apple apps
enable Select All when modal dialog is up but non-Apple apps
disable it.
The fully disabled Edit menu worked fine with NavServices (select
all did select files in Open dialog) but is different in Cocoa.
Are you saying that if Select All is enabled when NSOpenPanel is
up, then it will magically work? How does NSOpenPanel know that
this command is selected if it is processed by the app’s event
handling system? Sorry if it is something obvious but I am not sure
I understand how it is supposed to work.
Corbin:
Yes -- it will work. The reason why, is because the command is sent
up the responder chain.
Me:
well, sadly it still does not work.
Just before we put up the dialog, we enable undo, cut, copy, paste,
clear, and select all. these items all have the correct HICommand
assigned (eg: "select all" has kHICommandSelectAll as it's "tag")
the only possibly different thing is that these items have their
"action" set to something other than default. would this make a
difference?
other than that, what could be causing this to fail? all items end up
disabled, and it's not us disabling them._______________________________________________
