Can I have a nib that contains a panel (with no window) whose File's
Owner is a NSWindowController subclass?
Whenever I add a new application-based window (that has a fair amount
of GUI) to my application, I put it in its own nib file and make the
File's Owner a custom subclass of NSWindowController. This works
great. Now I want to do the same thing, but with an NSPanel.
When I select the menu item that should show the info panel the
action method from my application's controller (code is below) gets
called. The nib is loaded but the window is nil. How can I get the
panel to show when the menu item is selected?
Can I get this to work properly by adding an outlet to my window
controller that contains a reference to my panel then make it the
controller's window? To do this I would add the following line after
allocating the controller:
[myInfoController setWindow:[myInfoController myInfoPanel]];
Will this approach work or is it not recommended? Or should I use a
regular controller object (NSObject subclass) instead of an
NSWindowController?
Thanks, Chuck
- (IBAction)showInfoWindow:(id)sender
{
if (myInfoController == nil)
{
myInfoController = [[InfoController alloc]
initWithWindowNibName:@"Info"];
}
//[myInfoController windowNibName] is correct.
//[myInfoController window] is nil here.
// (Attempt to) Show the window via the controller.
[myInfoController showWindow:self];
}
