Menu/saving problem


  • Subject: Menu/saving problem

I've made a document based application. The initial window contains a textView and some buttons. One of the buttons reads in some text, and the window can be readily saved and reopened using 'Save' and 'Open' in the Main Menu. Another button opens a new window from another nib whose File's Owner is a subclass of NSWindowController. Subsequent work in this new window produces a table. I wish to save this latter window.

If I go to the Main Menu, the 'Save' menu item is grayed out, and I can't seem to activate it. So I dragged an NSMenu instance into the nib which produces the table window. I create a 'save' menu item. I wire the File's Owner to this new menu, and I wire the menu item to the 'saveDocument' target. I then use some code to have this new menu appear in the menu bar.

When I now attempt to use this new menu to save the table window, the 'saveDocument' menu item is still grayed out, so I still can't save the window. However, if I click in the still open original window, this same menu item is active and works perfectly.

If I use the 'saveAllDocuments' target, this menu item doesn't work at all. How do I go about saving the table window?
