Ive written the code for my NSView custom class to accept drops,
read the file, get what Info from that file I need etc.... Here is
where I get lost, how can I "send" my NSString that I have (which is
the path to the file that was dropped) to my main window's
NSTextField?
Other information, I can do this process if I use the window as the
dropzone (completely doing away with CustomView) and reading the
file and sending the file path to the NSTextField outlet. I would
just really like to have a specific area as a dropzone for files.
So I guess the actual question is how can I access a particular
outlet to my main window from my subclass of NSView? or is there a
different way I am suppose to be doing this?
The NSView subclass isn't supposed to know about the NSTextField.
The NSView should post a notification to allow other people to know
that it has some different information. The controller should look
for that notification and when it gets the notification it should
request the new path from the custom object and configure the
NSTextField.
