Availability Bindings

hidden

A multiple-value binding that determines if the NSBox is displayed in the user interface.

When hidden is bound, a new binding, hidden2, is exposed and can be bound. Binding to hidden2 causes hidden3 to be exposed, and so on.

The NSBox is hidden if a logical OR operation on all the hidden bindings results in a Boolean value of YES.

Title With Pattern Bindings

displayPatternTitle1

A multiple-value binding that specifies a string value that replaces %{title1}@ in a display pattern string that is used to set the title of the NSBox.

When displayPatternTitle1 is bound, a new binding, displayPatternTitle2, is exposed and can be bound. Binding to displayPatternTitle2 causes displayPatternTitle3 to be exposed, and so on.

The Display Pattern binding option is an NSString that is used as the pattern string. The appropriate displayPatternTitleX binding value is substituted for the %{titleX}@ pattern in the display string.

As an example, if displayPatternTitle1 evaluates to 22, displayPatternTitle2 evaluates to 5 and the Display Pattern string is "%{title2}@ of %{title1}@ rows are selected", the resulting NSBox title will be "5 of 22 rows are selected".

If displayPatternTitle1 is bound, the title and representedFilename bindings are not available.
