I want to customize IKImageBrowserView so that i can add NSButton or other control on cell of IKImageBrowserView. I tried to cutomize IKBrowserViewCell class, but i did not get how and where i add NSbutton, So that it display on IKBrowserViewItem. Here is the code i had tried till now.
#import "ImageBrowserView.h"
#import "ImageBrowserCell.h"
- (IKImageBrowserCell *) newCellForRepresentedItem:(id) cell
{
return [[ImageBrowserCell alloc] init];
}
In cell class
- (CALayer *) layerForType:(NSString*) type
{
CGColorRef color;
//retrieve some usefull rects
NSRect frame = [self frame];
NSRect imageFrame = [self imageFrame];
NSRect relativeImageFrame = NSMakeRect(imageFrame.origin.x - frame.origin.x, imageFrame.origin.y - frame.origin.y, imageFrame.size.width, imageFrame.size.height);
// place holder layer
if(type == IKImageBrowserCellPlaceHolderLayer){
//create a place holder layer
CALayer *layer = [CALayer layer];
layer.frame = CGRectMake(0, 0, frame.size.width, frame.size.height);
CALayer *placeHolderLayer = [CALayer layer];
placeHolderLayer.frame = *(CGRect*) &relativeImageFrame;
float fillComponents[4] = {1.0, 1.0, 1.0, 0.3};
float strokeComponents[4] = {1.0, 1.0, 1.0, 0.9};
CGColorSpaceRef colorSpace = CGColorSpaceCreateDeviceRGB();
//set a background color
color = CGColorCreate(colorSpace, fillComponents);
[placeHolderLayer setBackgroundColor:color];
CFRelease(color);
//set a stroke color
color = CGColorCreate(colorSpace, strokeComponents);
[placeHolderLayer setBorderColor:color];
CFRelease(color);
[placeHolderLayer setBorderWidth:2.0];
[placeHolderLayer setCornerRadius:10];
CFRelease(colorSpace);
[layer addSublayer:placeHolderLayer];
return layer;
}
return nil;
}
This cell class have method to return the frame of various control of IKImageBrowserCell and does not allow to add as subview. I did not get where i allocate my NSButton so that i can show then on item. Please help me. I already wasted about 1 day on this. Any help be appreciable. Thanks
