Mike,
I'm not sure what you mean to set the cancel flag on the main thread.
I have done this so far, but I'm still stuck:
In my NSDocument readFromURL:ofType:error: method it init's a progressLoading
WindowController (which shows up the window with progress bar and Cancel
button).
In my progressLoadingWC I have a BOOL cancelLoadingFlag which is checked in
readFromURL method…however nothing seems to happen if I call NSError…the
document is still opened...
Also opening the file and trying to click the button is nearly impossible since
it slows down heavily. Here's an excerpt of my code
-(BOOL)readFromURL:(NSURL *)absoluteURL ofType:(NSString *)typeName
error:(NSError **)outError
{
asciiFileContents = [[NSString alloc] initWithContentsOfURL:absoluteURL
encoding:NSISOLatin1StringEncoding error:outError];
if (!progressLoadingWindowController)
{
progressLoadingWindowController = [[ProgressLoadingWindowController
alloc] init];
[[progressLoadingWindowController fileNameOutlet]
setStringValue:[absoluteURL lastPathComponent]];
[[progressLoadingWindowController loadProgressBar]
setUsesThreadedAnimation:YES];
[[progressLoadingWindowController loadProgressBar] startAnimation:self];
}
// Display the progressLoading window
[progressLoadingWindowController showWindow:self];
if ( [progressLoadingWindowController cancelLoadingFlag] )
{
NSLog(@"User cancelled opening...");
*outError = [NSError errorWithDomain:NSCocoaErrorDomain
code:NSUserCancelledError userInfo:nil];
}
myDocWindowController = [[TsoftViewerWindowController alloc]
initWithTsfFileString:asciiFileContents];
[self addWindowController:myDocWindowController];
[asciiFileContents release];
return YES;
}
I'm sure I'm doing something wrong here :-(
Any clues ?
