Hey Alex,
You can basically just copy & paste the type of code that btouch generates
and just put them into extensions.cs in partial classes and then use the
following build rule:
-mkdir -p generated
$(BTOUCH) -e DescriptionFile.cs enums.cs --tmpdir=generated
--sourceonly=list
$(SMCS) -out:$@ @list enums.cs extensions.cs AssemblyInfo.cs
-r:monotouch.dll -res:libAjiPDFLib.a,libAjiPDFLib.a
if you take a look at generated/AlexTouch.AjiPDF/APOutlineElement.g.cs you
can see the generale structure of generated code.
For example, you could add the following partial class to the build (either
as part of extensions.cs or simply as a new file):
partial class APOutlineElement {
static IntPtr selChild = Selector.GetHandle ("children:");
[Export ("children:")]
public virtual APOutlineElement Child (uint index)
{
return (APOutlineElement) Runtime.GetNSObject
(MonoTouch.ObjCRuntime.Messaging.IntPtr_objc_msgSend_UInt32 (this.Handle,
selChild, index));
}
}
I renamed the method "Child" because it doesn't really return children, it
simply returns 1 of the children (the one at a specific index) and also
because Child/selChild doen't conflict with other
methods/properties/selector names ;-)
Anyways, hope that gives you the general idea of how to do it.
Jeff
