Deprecated NSPrintOperation Methods

A method identified as deprecated has been superseded and may become unsupported in the future.

Deprecated in OS X v10.4 and later

setShowPanels:

Sets whether the print operation should display a print panel. (Deprecated in 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.

setAccessoryView:

Sets the custom accessory view to be displayed by the receiver's print panel. (Deprecated in OS X v10.5. Use the addAccessoryController: method of NSPrintPanel instead.)

- (void)setAccessoryView:(NSView *)aView
Parameters
aView

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

Discussion

You can use this method to avoid subclassing NSPrintPanel or specifying your own print panel object. The print panel is automatically resized (as needed) to accommodate the accessory view when it is selected.
