I just started using NSProgress. I’m going to use it as the mechanism for my framework to report the progress of a complex upload/download operation which can involve many files and other HTTP resources: the object representing this operation will have a public “progress” property exposing an NSProgress that the app can observe.
I like the way NSProgress is hierarchical, so a top-level instance can have child instances for sub-tasks. I’m making use of this to aggregate the progress of multiple download operations into one progress value. But I can’t find any public API for getting the nested NSProgress instances, i.e. something like “@property (readonly) NSArray* children". Huh? Did I miss something, or is this just some inexplicable hole in the API? (I can tell each NSProgress _knows_ what its children are — it lists them in the output of its -description method, in a very nice tree display.) Assuming this isn’t possible, are there any best practices for working around this? I’m considering defining a custom userInfo property, in which I can store an NSArray of the children. —Jens _______________________________________________ Cocoa-dev mailing list (Cocoa-dev@lists.apple.com) Please do not post admin requests or moderator comments to the list.
