AppleTalk Functions

The following is an example that shows the use of this function:

ChooserSample := {

// open network connection

openNetworkScript: func()
begin
GetRoot().NetChooser:openNetChooser(nil,"=:LaserWriter@",ni
l, self, "Use printer, sir", "Printer", "printers");
end,

// called when the user selects an item

networkChooserDone: func(currentSelection, currentZone)
begin
Print("Current Selection =" && currentSelection);
Print("Current Zone =" && currentZone);
end
};

The following is an example of running this code in the inspector:

ChooserSample:OpenNetworkScript()
#1A TRUE

// select the network entity, close the Chooser

"Current Selection = Idiot Savante"
"Current Zone = RD1/NewHaven-LocalTalk"

The NetChooser methods are described in detail in "NetChooser Methods"
(page 21-81) in Newton Programmer's Reference.
