Is it possible for one controller class be the datasource for multiply
tableviews?
I am making a document based application to learn cocoa i got must of it
working,
its an Address book and it have one mainwindow with a tableview.
1 Address class
2 MyDocument is the controller for the mainwindow and has a
NSMutableArray of Addresses witch are the datasource for the tableview.
but now i want to add a second tableview in a drawer to the main window
where i can select a group of addresses.
So i made a new Group class and a GroupController witch has a
NSMutableArray of Groups (more or less a simple copy of what i already
had) and that's working.
but my problem is that MyDocument needs full access to the
NSMutableArray of Groups witch are in the GroupController.
This is where my skills as a programmer stops.
to be honest i don't understand the documentation on ObjC, all that
sharedInstance and stuff like that,
i used the preferences class from TextEdit as a starting point and
changed it to fit my application and got it to work
but i still don't understand what's going on.
Cocoa is so great so it got me back into programming, i've only done
plain C earlier and not anything big, C++ and i gave up
i've read many books on it but i never understood object oriented
programming full.
Is there a very simple way to describe it or an example so i could get
that aha feeling.
Thanks
