Filing
15-6 About Filing
When the user taps the File button, the system
■ invokes the GetTargetInfo method to discover the target and the target view
■ sends the FileThis message to the target view
Your target view must supply a FileThis method that performs any tasks
necessary to file the target, such as the following:
■ moving its soup entry to a different store
■ redrawing the current view
■ setting the target’s labels slot to its new value
■ performing any additional tasks that are appropriate
Your application must provide a folder tab view that
■ indicates the filing category of currently displayed data.
■ allows the user to choose a new filing category to display
The system provides protoNewFolderTab and protoClockFolderTab
system prototypes you can use to create your folder tab view. Views based on either
proto can display a title text string in the area to the left of the folder tab. The
protoNewFolderTab view displays a text string that you may supply optionally,
as shown in Figure 15-6.
