Filing

Using the Filing Service

The new slots

appObjectFileThisIn

and

appObjectFileThisOn

support

localization of your application's Filing messages into languages having masculine
and feminine nouns.

The

DefaultFolderChanged

function is obsolete. Do not use this function.

The

target

and

targetView

slots are superseded by your override of the

GetTargetInfo

method. However, if you do not override the system-supplied

GetTargetInfo

method, you must include these slots in your application's

base view.

Registration for notification of changes to folder names has been simplified. Use
the new functions

RegFolderChanged

and

UnRegFolderChanged

to register

for folder change notification.

Using the Filing Service

15

To support the Filing service, your application must

provide three views (a folder tab view, a filing button view, and a view that
images the filing target)

respond to two messages (

FileThis

and

NewFilingFilter

)

register a callback function with the folder change notification service

Additionally, you can

support the use of multiple target items

customize the Filing slip and folder set that your application uses

The remainder of this section describes these tasks in detail.

Overview of Filing Support

15

You need to take the following steps to support the Filing service:

Add a

labels

slot to your application's soup entries.

Create in your application's base view the slots

appName

,

appAll

,

appObjectFileThisIn

,

appObjectFileThisOn

, and

appObjectUnfiled

.

Supply a filing target. It is recommended that you override the

GetTargetInfo

method; if you do not, your application base view must supply

target

and

targetView

slots for use by the default method. You are responsible for

keeping the values of these slots current.

Create a

labelsFilter

slot in your application's target view.
