BSJobList

Last weekend I wanted to add some kind of list with checkboxes to CuteClips in order to execute a list of tasks… it evolved into BSJobList which is a very easy way to open a window and ask for things that need to be performed. After OK is clicked, all these jobs are executed in the order they are displayed.

The usage is pretty easy:

• load the bundle BSJobList.bundle

  NSBundle* bundle = [NSBundle bundleWithPath:[[NSBundle mainBundle] pathForResource:@"BSJobList" 
  																			ofType:@"bundle"]];
  Class jobListClass = [bundle principalClass];
  
  

• create an array with jobs:

  NSArray* actionsBig = [NSArray arrayWithObjects:
  	[BSJob jobWithName:@"order me a pizza" action:@selector(callForHelp) target:self position:1],
  	[BSJob jobWithName:@"order me a coke" action:@selector(orderACoke) target:self position:2],
  	nil];
  

  of course the selectors have to be implemented in self 😉

• ask the BSJobList class to run the jobs and give it nice title

  	
  	[jobListClass askToRunJobs:actions withTitle:@"What should i order?"];
  

  this method call returns YES or NO, if you want to know if the user hit Cancel or Ok

The result should look like this:

Have fun!
