Overview

A QLPreviewController object, or Quick Look preview controller, provides a specialized view for previewing an item.

Instance Attribute Details

- (Object) currentPreviewItem (readonly)

The item currently displayed in the Quick Look preview controller. (read-only) If no item is being displayed, this property’s value is nil.

Returns:

- (Integer) currentPreviewItemIndex

The index, within the preview item navigation list, of the item currently displayed in the Quick Look preview controller. You can change which item is displayed, among those in a navigation list, by setting this property’s value. If no item is being displayed, this property’s value is NSNotFound.

Returns:

- (Object) dataSource

The Quick Look preview controller’s data source. To use a Quick Look preview controller, you must implement a data source. The data source is responsible for providing items for display by the controller, and for telling it how many items to include in the preview navigation list. It is described inQLPreviewControllerDataSource Protocol Reference.

Returns:

- (Object) delegate

The Quick Look preview controller’s delegate object. The delegate determines whether or not to open URLs that the user taps in a preview. See QLPreviewControllerDelegate Protocol Reference.

Returns:
