NSWindowDidBecomeMainNotification firing twice?


  • Subject: NSWindowDidBecomeMainNotification firing twice?

In my application, I have a need to track which document is currently the
"main" document. I have set up the correct notifications and it seems to be
firing twice.

This is the code I have in - (void)awakeFromNib: in MyDocument

<start code>

[[NSNotificationCenter defaultCenter] addObserver:self
selector:@selector(postWindowBecameMain:)
name:NSWindowDidBecomeMainNotification object:nil];

<end code>

Then, my postWindowBecameMain: method looks like this

<start code>

- (void)postWindowBecameMain:(NSNotification*)notification
{
NSLog(@"%@ Window Became Main", [self displayName]);
}

<end code>

Fairly simple. When a document window becomes active, it simply prints it's
name to the console. I'll be using this method to pass document data, but I
don't want to implement that until I get this figured out. After starting
the app and creating one new document window, the console output looks like
this:

2004-03-07 13:01:23.045 XRecipeManager[14231] Untitled Window Became Main
2004-03-07 13:01:25.212 XRecipeManager[14231] Untitled Window Became Main
2004-03-07 13:01:25.214 XRecipeManager[14231] Untitled 2 Window Became Main

Switching back to the original window gives me this output:

2004-03-07 13:01:23.045 XRecipeManager[14231] Untitled Window Became Main
2004-03-07 13:01:25.212 XRecipeManager[14231] Untitled Window Became Main
2004-03-07 13:01:25.214 XRecipeManager[14231] Untitled 2 Window Became Main
2004-03-07 13:02:14.012 XRecipeManager[14231] Untitled Window Became Main
2004-03-07 13:02:14.012 XRecipeManager[14231] Untitled 2 Window Became Main

So every time the window is the "main" window, it displays both window
names. All I want it to do is to display the window that is "main", not
both. Any suggestions? Thanks again for the help on the delegate issue.
All has been resolved.
