I'm trying make some menu items for my project, but in order to
get the IBActions to appear in the FirstResponder action list, I
need them to be in my MyDocument.h file, not my AppController.h
(where the actual methods i need to call are in AppController.m).
I know I can get this done by manually keeping the methods that I
want to use as Menu IBActions in both AppController.m and
MyDocument.m in sync, but I don't think that's the proper way to do
this.
Any suggestions?
Thanks,
Brian.
You don't need the actions to appear in a header file to add them to
the First Responder object in the nib. You can add action methods to
the First Responder object directly. At run time, when the method is
called, it goes up the responder chain until it finds something that
implements that action and uses that. So the object it calls doesn't
necessarily have to be in the nib file at all.
As long as your AppController class is in the responder chain (and if
it's NSApplication's delegate, it is), then the methods there will be
called.
If it helps, setting an action's target to the First Responder object
is like programatically setting the target to nil. i.e. [menuItem
setTarget:nil]; [menuItem setAction:@selector(someAction:)];
