The main file has a menu with items on it. Each item on the menu is
connected to the instantiated controller. That controller (in code) has
a method that loads the nib file and makes the window the active window
(part of this does not work: the window loads and displays but it's not
active until you click on it).
So the target is connected from the menu (in the main nib) to the
action in the controller class. So far, so good.
However, according to the docs one also creates an outlet in the
controller item as well (it's used in loading the nib so it must be
needed!)
Where is this outlet connected to in the nib file?
I'm asking for two reasons:
[1] unconnected outlets annoy me, seems they should be hooked to
SOMETHING!
[2] it's possible (I don't know) that not having this outlet connected
is what's causing the window when loaded to not be the active one.
Am I missing something, perhaps those outlets are just left hanging? I
have looked in the archives without luck, perhaps there is some apple
sample code that shows this? (not an info window, which I don't think
is the same thing - again, I could be wrong).
