beginSheet(forDirectory:file:modalFor:modalDelegate:didEnd:contextInfo:)

Displays a sheet that allows a user to create a new keychain.

Declaration

func beginSheet(forDirectory path: String!, file name: String!, modalFor docWindow: NSWindow!, modalDelegate delegate: Any!, didEnd didEndSelector: Selector!, contextInfo: UnsafeMutableRawPointer!)

Parameters

  • path:

    The path to the folder where the keychain is created. Specify nil for ~/Library/Keychains.

  • name:

    The keychain name to be automatically displayed in the Save As field of the sheet.

  • docWindow:

    The parent window to which the sheet is attached. If this parameter is nil, the behavior defaults to a standalone modal window.

  • delegate:

    The delegate object in which the method specified in the didEndSelector parameter is implemented.

  • didEndSelector:

    A method selector for a delegate method called after the modal session has ended, but before the sheet has been dismissed. Implementation of this delegate method is optional.

  • contextInfo:

    A pointer to data that is passed to the delegate method. You can use this data pointer for any purpose you wish.

Discussion

The delegate method has the following signature:

- (void)createPanelDidEnd:(NSWindow *)sheet
        returnCode:(int)returnCode
        contextInfo:(void *)contextInfo

The parameters for the delegate method are:

sheet

The window to which the sheet was attached.

returnCode

The result code indicating which button the user clicked: either NSFileHandlingPanelOKButton or NSFileHandlingPanelCancelButton.

contextInfo

Client-defined contextual data that is passed in the contextInfo parameter of the beginSheet(forDirectory:file:modalFor:modalDelegate:didEnd:contextInfo:) method.

The delegate method may dismiss the keychain settings sheet itself; if it does not, the sheet is dismissed on return from the beginSheetForDirectory:... method.

Use the keychain() method to obtain the keychain created by the user.
