Hey Lincoln -

To do this with actions and outlets, you just have to have your controllers communicate.

Something like this should work:

@interface MainController : NSObject {
	NSWindow *window;
}
- (void)setWindowBackgroundColor:(NSColor *)color;
@end

@implementation MainController
- (void)setWindowBackgroundColor:(NSColor *)color {
	[window setBackgroundColor:color];
}
@end

@interface PrefController : NSObject {
	NSColorWell *colorWell;
        MainController *mainController;
}
- (IBAction)updateColor:(NSColorWell *)sender;
@end

@implementation PrefController
- (IBAction) updateColor:(NSColorWell *)sender {
	[mainController setWindowBackgroundColor:[colorWell color]];
}
@end

I typed that directly into Mail, so it probably won't compile -

Alright, I have been searching archives, following tutorials, and looking at source code for several hours, and I cannot figure out the answer to my problem.

Is there a way to programmatically connect to a NIB file and read it's outlets without changing my File's Owner? I have a color well in one NIB (My Prefs NIB) and a window in another. I want the color well to change the window's background. I have an action called setColor:, but I cannot figure out how to access the window outlet from the NIB containing the window. Please help!
