Use NSTextView and NSTabView objects with MacControl

[Julio Márquez]

Hello, Curtis.

I'm trying to use some custom platform controls for a desktop app following what is stated on this page https://github.com/picoe/Eto/wiki/Custom-Platform-Controls. I'm using different libraries for each platform, but in Mac the libraries that I'm using make use of the objects NSTextView and NSTabView, but apparently they cannot be used as a control with MacControl.

 

There is way to use that objects without affecting the handlers of the other platforms?

Thanks you.

Julio.

Hi Julio,

For controls that do not derive from NSControl like NSTextView/NSTabView, you can use Eto.Mac.Forms.MacView as a base of your handler instead.

Other platforms have similar structures, but specific to its hierarchy, such as WpfFrameworkElement and WpfControl.

Hope this helps!

Curtis.
