STPathTextField is a subclass of NSTextField for receiving and displaying a file system path. It supports path validation and autocompletion. Autocompletion can use "web browser" style - i.e. expansion and selection, or shell autocompletion style - i.e. tab-expansion.
To use STPathTextField, just add a text field to a window in a nib file, and set its class to STPathTextField.
Default properties of an STPathTextField are the following:
autocompleteStyle = STNoAutocomplete;
colorInvalidPath = YES;
foldersAreValid = NO;
expandTildeInPath = YES;
There are three autocomplete styles:
typedef enum
{
STNoAutocomplete = 0,
STShellAutocomplete = 1,
STBrowserAutocomplete = 2
}
STPathTextFieldAutocompleteStyle;
