[Biococoa-dev] Fwd: opening greyed out files

[Koen van der Drift]

Hi,

I got no response on cocoa list - maybe one of you guys can help me?

I am writing an app that requires to open files that are not always  
owned by the user. If I select Open File from the menu I can navigate  
to the directory, but all files are greyed out. Is there a way I can  
make those files clickable, so they can be opened? Of course I will  
put up a dialog that asks the user for a password.  I looked through  
the examples in /Developer but didn't see anything that may look like  
it does this. Any pointers?

TextWrangler for instance has a popup menu that allows to open All  
Files, so I probably need to do something similar.


cheers,

- Koen.
