I have a document-based app. For each document there can be a couple of satellite windows brought up for specific views of some of the data. Each of these satellite windows is controlled by an NSWindowController subclass loaded by MyDocument and added via addWindowController:. A menu item's target is the First Responder, and the method to implement the action is in MyDocument. Everything works as expected when the primary window is key.
The problem is that when one of the satellite windows is key, menu items implemented by MyDocument are disabled. I thought the responder chain went through the NSWindowController and then through to its NSDocument? Or is this only the case when for the document's primary window (and NSWindowController)?
Note: The work around is trivial. I just implemented the method name in the satellite window's NSWindowController subclass and forwarded the call to the document:
-(IBAction) doMenuThing: (id)sender
{
[[self document] doMenuThing: sender];
}
but I feel this isn't the "Cocoa Way" of doing it. Am I missing a configuration step?
Todd
