CyberItemPromptExtension defines extra behaviors for parts that are to be used as a Connect To dialog box.

Description

The CyberItemPromptExtension class is an abstract class that you can subclass to create an extension for a Connect To dialog box. The subclass provides an interface for displaying the dialog box and retrieving the Cyberdog item the user specified in it.

The Connect To dialog box also requires an extension that is subclassed from the CyberContainerExtension class (page 208). The CyberContainerExtension extension allows the part to behave as a dialog box and embed panels. The embedded panels in the Connect To dialog box are parts with extensions subclassed from CyberConnectExtension (page 206).

Methods

The CyberItemPromptExtension class has a single method, PromptForCyberItem. A detailed description of the method follows.
