Custom PopUpButton: IB Connection not holding at runtime

Hello all,

I have a pop-up button that I intend to use to insert HTML tags into a text field for the user.

I intend to have a different pop-up button for each field (three fields total), that all share the same menu (list of tags to insert), and will perform the exact same action, just aimed at a different text field.

To that end, I sub-classed NSPopUpButton to ACRPopUpButton, and added a NSTextField IBOutlet "target", and a getter method to retrieve the target.

All three popup buttons are connected to my custom Controller class to call it's insert: method. This method then calls the 'target' method from the sender (the ACRPopUpButton) to retrieve the NSTextField target to place the text into it. (for testing purposes, I simply have a "setStringValue:" method placing "INSERT" into the text field.

The problem is, when I run this through the debugger, the ACRPopUpButton's target is not set (0x0), even though I have it connected in IB.

Is there some simple step I have missed to set this up, or am I going about this entirely wrong? Why wouldn't the IBOutlet connection establish? Do I need to change something in the ACRPopUpButton's init method? _______________________________________________ Do not post admin requests to the list. They will be ignored.
