outlineView(_:persistentObjectForItem:)

Declaration

@MainActor optional func outlineView(_ outlineView: NSOutlineView, persistentObjectForItem item: Any?) -> Any?

Parameters

• outlineView:

  The outline view that sent the message.

• item:

  The item for which to return an archived object.

Return Value

An archived representation of item. If the item is an archived object, this method may return the item.

Discussion

When the outline view is saving the expanded items, this method is called for each expanded item, to translate the outline view item to an archived object.

Special Considerations

You must implement this method if you are automatically saving expanded items (that is, if autosaveExpandedItems returns true).
