# begin(withDelegate:didEnd:contextInfo:)

Opens a picture taker pane.

## Declaration

```swift
func begin(withDelegate delegate: Any!, didEnd didEndSelector: Selector!, contextInfo: UnsafeMutableRawPointer!)
```

## Parameters

- `delegate`: The object that will invoke the selector didEndSelector when the picture taker session terminates.
- `didEndSelector`: The selector to invoke when the picture taker session terminates.
- `contextInfo`: Any data that must be passed as an argument to the delegate through didEndSelector after the picture taker session terminates.

## Discussion

Discussion The didEndSelector method should have the following signature: - (void)pictureTakerDidEnd:(IKPictureTaker *)sheet returnCode:(NSInteger)returnCode contextInfo:(void *)contextInfo; The returnCode value is set to NSOKButton if the user validates, or to NSCancelButton if the user cancels.
