What kinds of messages need to be sent? I mean are you able to alter
the project from a member's window? Or do you want to make sure that
an alteration in the project would be reflected in a member even if
the member was opened before the project?
Definitely the latter, but also I would like to account for the former.
At the moment I can't think of a concrete example where I'd need to
modify the project from a member (but I definitely need to be able to
find out which project owns the member), but I'd like to make it
possible in future versions if necessary.
sharedDocumentController. You can use it as an arbiter between the
mainmenu controller, other documents or anything else that you'd like.
The door can swing both ways if you need to communicate document to
controller and controller to document.
Yeah. I'm thinking that's the way to go.
I could be missing what your goal is though. I mean working in a
project like that, it is easy to find out the path of each open
document and if the open document is a child of the project you can
send messages by accessing it in the array of open documents or
through the shared controller.
That's what I want to do, I've just never done it and wasn't sure if
there was a more "correct" way of doing it.
