Re: NSOpenPanel and CamelBones

[Thilo Planz]

Hi,

Does anyone have a good snippet of example code for calling 
NSOpenPanel with CamelBones?

I am not certain what the syntax should be and there are few examples 
I can find.
Did you check Apple's Cocoa Documentation?
Since CamelBones just wraps around the Objective-C functions, you can 
use the documentation for that.

For starters, you can do something like this:
my $panel = NSOpenPanel->openPanel;
if ($panel->runModal) {
        # user clicked "Open"
        my $files = $panel->filenames;
        # get only one file here
         my $file = $files->lastObject;
        
        # .. do something with $file (the file name)
}
else{
        # user clicked cancel
}
There is also NSSavePanel to save files (rather than open them).
If you want to filter for specific files types you can do:

 my $types = NSMutableArray->alloc->init;
    $types->addObject('pod');
    $types->addObject('pm');
    $types->addObject('pl');
    my $panel = NSOpenPanel->openPanel;
    if ($panel->runModalForTypes($types)) {

Hope it helps,
Thilo
