Well, the accessor method I had in mind, in its entirety, is:

Thanks Graham,

Looks simple enough, however, I  can't seem to make it work.

I get a warning "warning: instance variable 'MyOutlet' accessed in a class method"


If I pause the execution in the implementation where MyOutlet is defined I see that it has valid pointers to memory:


	NSTextField *	MyOutlet 	0x12c650
		Class		isa			0xa027f1e0

In the other implementation that I am attempting to get the value of MyOutlet from, I am calling your suggested MyOutlet accessor method with:

	id MyOutletID = [MyContent MyOutlet];

MyOutletID has a pointer to memory, but the corresponding 'isa' class does not:

	id	MyOutlet 	0xba4041
		Class		isa			0x0

And when I step passed the line:

		float MyOutletFloat = [MyOutletID floatValue];

I get the message 'Program received signal: "EXC_BAD_ACCESS".'.

So far the only way I have been able to get the value of MyOutlet from a different class is by using a NSTimer function to set a global with the value of MyOutlet, then call a function to return the value of the global. This seems far from ideal, and while it is fine for testing purposes, I am curious on how to do it the "right" way.


note: by naming things as to their function you'd probably end up with a much more self-descriptive method.


Indeed, they are, just named them that for clarity here.
