The

proto provides a dialog containing the preferences

items shown in Figure 22-9.

protoTransportPrefs

view

You can selectively remove any of the elements shown above by setting the
corresponding slot to

nil

in the

protoTransportPrefs

view. To include

additional items in your preferences view, add child views to the

protoTransportPrefs

view. The default child elements positioned in the center

of the view are added from the bottom up and are justified relative to the bottom of
the preferences view or to the top of their preceding sibling view. To add other
child elements, increase the height of the view and add your elements above the
existing ones, except for the title.

The

protoTransportPrefs

template also automatically checks your transport

and displays or hides the In/Out Box preference elements. If your transport does
not contain a

SendRequest

method, the Out Box preference element is not

displayed; if your transport does not contain a

ReceiveRequest

method, the In

Box preference element is not displayed. If the latter element is missing, the Out
Box element is automatically drawn at the bottom of the preferences view.
