Can someone point me to a definitive explanation of the "File's Owner"
Icon in IB and the use thereof? I have looked in my three Cocoa books,
googled, and checked the archives, but I still do not have a handle on
this. One place it says it is NSApp, in another a placeholder for an
object not in the NIB. Both seem right in the context given, but then I
look at examples of NIBs and become re-confused. To wit: In the
Hillegass book his doc-based "RaiseMan" example has buttons and text
fields connected to the "File's Owner" Icon, while in the
Garfinkel/Mahoney book the "Calculator" project, a straight Cocoa App,
has everything connected to an instance of his controller. Nothing is
connected to "File's Owner!" Is this just two ways to skin the same
cat? For that matter, when do you instantiate a controller in a NIB and
when don't you? I'm still not clear on that one, either. Any and all
help welcomed!
Brian
