An EOCocoaRadioMatrixPlugin allows you to populate an NSMatrix's cells. EOCocoaRadioMatrixPlugin supports connections for both cell titles and icons, depending on the matrix's prototype cell. You define the prototype in Interface Builder (to display an icon only, text only, or both).
| Usable With |
| NSMatrix (com.apple.cocoa.application.NSMatrix) |
| Aspects | |
selectedTitle |
An attribute of the selected object whose values can be represented as strings. |
selectedTag |
An integer attribute of the selected object. |
enabled |
A boolean attribute of the selected object, which determines whether the matrix is enabled. |
| Object Keys Taken | |
target |
When the user chooses an item in the matrix, the EORadioMatrixAssociation updates the selected object's property with the item's title or tag. |
Suppose that you want to display actors' names and pictures in an NSMatrix. Start with a TalentPhoto display group (where a TalentPhoto object has a relationship to its Talent object). In Interface Builder, create a button containing both an image and text. Then, alternate(option)-drag to create a matrix of buttons. Control-drag from the matrix to the photo display group. In the Connections inspector, choose EOCocoaRadioMatrixPlugin, and bind the image aspect to the photo attribute. Repeat, binding the title aspect to the talent.lastName attribute.
Note that you can group the matrix in a scroll view. An EOCocoaRadioMatrixPlugin will automatically manage the size of the matrix for this (for vertical scrolling only).
