Re: saving an object reference



Okay, that's been the suggestion twice now... I've just started learning cocoa/obj-C, from java (I'm porting over some existing java code), so I started this project using a closely-related bit of sample code (Apple's Sketch app), and it seems to use an archived dictionary to save documents (but maybe I've just misunderstood the code!). I've just been trying to adapt that to suit my needs, but it looks like I've hit a wall with that plan! ;-)

Thanks,

J.

But how do I store a reference (pointer) to an existing object in a dictionary?

I'm not exactly sure I understand your goal, but storing (archiving/ serializing) an object graph is traditionally done via the NSCoding Protocol:
