Re: how to validate toolbar with different target?



Hi, Marc.

Toolbar validation is indeed sent to the target, so you would need to make a subclass for your NSArrayController. But, if you can, I. Savant's suggestion (re: bindings) may work far better.

Cheers,

Hi,

I have some buttons in my window's toolbar that are bound to an NSArrayController (selectNext, selectPrevious, add, remove, etc). This is a non-document based CoreData app. My AppDelegate is also the window (with the toolbar) delegate and I implement

-(BOOL)validateToolbarItem:(NSToolbarItem *)toolbarItem

which works fine for the Save button because the Save button's target is the app delegate but it doesn't get called for any of the buttons whose target is the array controller. This leads me to think that toolbar validation is sent to the target of the toolbaritem. Is that correct? If so, I expect that I will need to subclass NSArrayController and put the validation there. What would be cool is subclassing NSArrayController, adding a delegate, and somehow forwarding the message. Or maybe I can just forward some messages to the NSArrayController. This is not something I've ever done but I remember hearing people talk about message forwarding in Cocoa and WebObjects.

Any tips are appreciated.

Thanks
Marc
