Hi...
I4m a newbie at Cocoa and Objective-C so please excuse me if i4m
sounding to stupid or the answer for this is very simple...
Ok, i have a really really anoying problem with a text-editor app that
i4m trying to write in Objective-C ("Document based Cocoa Application").
In that app i4m try4ing to implement 2 NSWindow4s:
The main text-editor window as a NSPanel
And an extra "tools" window as a NSPanel-Utility Window
My idea is to have all the text-tools in the tools window and not inside
the same window as the actual NSText-View, but the buttons in my tools
window does not seem to make any action to the NSText-View inside the
main text-editor window... I tried making the tools-window into a
NSDrawer, and in that situation it acctually controls the NSText-view
inside the main window correctly. So when i make them as separate
windows the actions does4nt get sent to the NSText-view but when i make
them into a main-window and a NSDrawer the actions get sent correctly...
Hmmm...
I can4t seem to figor out what to do here, so my question is how do i
make my tools-window send its messages and actions to the NSText-view
inside the main-window?
HELP
I really hope this message is understandable for you guys, 4cause your
the only one who can help me with this somewhat simple but important
problem! I4m probably gonna get some kind of very simple answer that
just proves that i should have used my brain a little bit harder, but
right now i4m really stuck!
Thanks
