Deprecated NSPrintOperation Methods

A method identified as deprecated has been superseded and may become unsupported in the future.

Deprecated in Mac OS X v10.4 and later

setShowPanels:

Sets whether the print operation should display a print panel. (Deprecated in Mac OS X v10.4 and later. Use setShowsPrintPanel: and setShowsProgressPanel: instead.)

- (void)setShowPanels:(BOOL)flag

Parameters

flag

YES if the print operation should display a print panel; otherwise, NO.

Discussion

This method also affects whether a progress panel is presented while the operation runs. If an EPS or PDF copy operation is being performed, neither panel is displayed, regardless of the value of flag.

- (void)setAccessoryView:(NSView *)aView

Parameters

aView

The view to display in the print panel. You can use this view to specify additional print options.
