Re: File's Owner

Read the IB release notes/FAQ

here is the section

 What do File's Owner and First Responder represent?

Files Owner and First Responder are proxies for objects that will exist at runtime. Specifically, Files Owner represents the object which will be passed in for owner in the method [NSBundle loadNibNamed: owner].
Sorry, I did look at the FAQs but somehow missed this section. However . . .
You can specify, via the Attributes Info Panel, what kind of object owner will be.
Once you've indicated what Files Owner is, you can make connections to it.

So, I change the File's Owner from the default NSAPP to MyObject subclassed from NSObject, which does _not_ inherit from NSApp, so this seems okay going by the alert panel that pops up. And sure enough. I can now connect to the new blue cube File's Owner Icon--but the bloody interface no longer works! And if I leave the File's Owner alone, I can't connect to it--must connect to the instantiated MyObject icon instead. And then the interface does work. Thanks for trying to help, but I'm more confused than ever! Time for a beer. Maybe tomorrow I can ask a question that someone will understand. <sigh>
