Implementations§

Source §

impl UIPrinter

Source

pub fn printerWithURL(url: &NSURL, mtm: MainThreadMarker) -> Retained<UIPrinter>

Create a printer from its URL

This method creates a new printer object from the printer’s URL. A UIPrinter object is returned even if the printer is not available on the network.

Source

pub fn URL(&self) -> Retained<NSURL>

Return the URL of the printer.

This method returns the full URL of the printer which can be used in future calls to printerWithURL to access the same printer.

Source

pub fn displayName(&self) -> Retained<NSString>

Return a human-readable printer name.

This method returns the printer name suitable for displaying in the UI.

Source

pub fn displayLocation(&self) -> Option<Retained<NSString>>

Return a human-readable location.

This method returns the printer’s location. This is human-readable text that usually appears in the UI below the printer’s name (such as “Front Office”). Returns nil if the printer doesn’t have a location string. This property’s value is undefined until contactPrinter: has been called and completed successfully.

Source

pub fn supportedJobTypes(&self) -> UIPrinterJobTypes

Returns the supported job types of this printer.

This method returns a mask with all the UIPrinterJobTypes values that the printer supports. This property’s value is undefined until contactPrinter: has been called and completed successfully.

Source

pub fn makeAndModel(&self) -> Option<Retained<NSString>>

Return make (manufacturer) and model of the printer.

This method returns the make and model of the printer, which is usually the manufacturer, model, and model number. This property’s value is undefined until contactPrinter: has been called and completed successfully.

Source

pub fn supportsColor(&self) -> bool

Return whether this printer supports color printing.

This method returns YES if the printer supports full color printing, NO otherwise. This property’s value is undefined until contactPrinter: has been called and completed successfully.

Source

pub fn supportsDuplex(&self) -> bool

Return whether this printer supports duplex (double-sided) printing.

This method returns YES if the printer supports duplex (double-sided) printing, NO otherwise. This property’s value is undefined until contactPrinter: has been called and completed successfully.

Source

pub fn contactPrinter( &self, completion_handler: Option<&DynBlock<dyn Fn(Bool)>>, )

Available on crate feature block2 only.

Check if printer is reachable, and update printer information.

This method checks to see if this printer is available on the network, and sets the displayName, displayLocation, supportedJobTypes, makeAndModel, supportsColor, and supportsDuplex for the printer. The operation can take up to 30 seconds.

Source §

impl UIPrinter

Methods declared on superclass NSObject.

Source

pub fn init(this: Allocated<Self>) -> Retained<Self>

Source

pub fn new(mtm: MainThreadMarker) -> Retained<Self>

Methods from Deref<Target = NSObject>§

Source

pub fn doesNotRecognizeSelector(&self, sel: Sel) -> !

Handle messages the object doesn’t recognize.

See Apple’s documentation for details.

Methods from Deref<Target = AnyObject>§

Source

pub fn class(&self) -> &'static AnyClass

Available on crate feature UIIndirectScribbleInteraction only.

Dynamically find the class of this object.

§Panics

May panic if the object is invalid (which may be the case for objects returned from unavailable init/new methods).

§Example

Check that an instance of NSObject has the precise class NSObject.

use objc2::ClassType;
use objc2::runtime::NSObject;

let obj = NSObject::new();
assert_eq!(obj.class(), NSObject::class());

Source

pub unsafe fn get_ivar<T>(&self, name: &str) -> &T
where T: Encode,

👎Deprecated: this is difficult to use correctly, use Ivar::load instead.

Available on crate feature UIIndirectScribbleInteraction only.

Use Ivar::load instead.

§Safety

The object must have an instance variable with the given name, and it must be of type T.

See Ivar::load_ptr for details surrounding this.

Source

pub fn downcast_ref<T>(&self) -> Option<&T>
where T: DowncastTarget,

Available on crate feature UIIndirectScribbleInteraction only.

Attempt to downcast the object to a class of type T.

This is the reference-variant. Use Retained::downcast if you want to convert a retained object to another type.

§Mutable classes

Some classes have immutable and mutable variants, such as NSString and NSMutableString.

When some Objective-C API signature says it gives you an immutable class, it generally expects you to not mutate that, even though it may technically be mutable “under the hood”.

So using this method to convert a NSString to a NSMutableString, while not unsound, is generally frowned upon unless you created the string yourself, or the API explicitly documents the string to be mutable.

See Apple’s documentation on mutability and on isKindOfClass: for more details.

§Generic classes

Objective-C generics are called “lightweight generics”, and that’s because they aren’t exposed in the runtime. This makes it impossible to safely downcast to generic collections, so this is disallowed by this method.

You can, however, safely downcast to generic collections where all the type-parameters are AnyObject.

§Panics

This works internally by calling isKindOfClass:. That means that the object must have the instance method of that name, and an exception will be thrown (if CoreFoundation is linked) or the process will abort if that is not the case. In the vast majority of cases, you don’t need to worry about this, since both root objects NSObject and NSProxy implement this method.

§Examples

Cast an NSString back and forth from NSObject.

use objc2::rc::Retained;
use objc2_foundation::{NSObject, NSString};

let obj: Retained<NSObject> = NSString::new().into_super();
let string = obj.downcast_ref::<NSString>().unwrap();
// Or with `downcast`, if we do not need the object afterwards
let string = obj.downcast::<NSString>().unwrap();

Try (and fail) to cast an NSObject to an NSString.

use objc2_foundation::{NSObject, NSString};

let obj = NSObject::new();
assert!(obj.downcast_ref::<NSString>().is_none());

Try to cast to an array of strings.

use objc2_foundation::{NSArray, NSObject, NSString};

let arr = NSArray::from_retained_slice(&[NSObject::new()]);
// This is invalid and doesn't type check.
let arr = arr.downcast_ref::<NSArray<NSString>>();

This fails to compile, since it would require enumerating over the array to ensure that each element is of the desired type, which is a performance pitfall.

Downcast when processing each element instead.

use objc2_foundation::{NSArray, NSObject, NSString};

let arr = NSArray::from_retained_slice(&[NSObject::new()]);

for elem in arr {
    if let Some(data) = elem.downcast_ref::<NSString>() {
        // handle `data`
    }
}
