Hi,
I have a question concerning the Font Panel and the Responder CHain in
regards to the changeFont selector being called. I have a window with a
Tab View on it and 2 tabs. The first tab contains a button that
triggers the Font Panel being called. When the font panel displays, and
a user interacts with the panel, the changeFont selector on the window
controller does not get called. Now, on tab 2, I have another tab view
that has a button that does the same thing. However, when the user
interacts with the font panel brought up there, then the changeFont
selector on my window controller gets called. Now, I thought I had a
pretty good grasp on the Responder Chain, but for the life of me I can
not figure out what is going on here! Maybe someone on this list can
help me clarify this situation.
Now, for some other sideline issues: Why changeFont as being called as
part of the responder chain instead of using a passed in selector I do
not understand. It seems to me that passing it a selector to call back
on would make life SOOO much simpler. Maybe someone here can explain
the reason behind this?
As well, are there any tools that allow visibility into the message
calling that goes on? I might have been able to figure this out myself
if I could just have seen who WAS responding to the changeFont call (if
anybody) or to determine where the font panel was sending the first
message in the chain.
Thanx,
joe
