I have manage to get this to work for me until doSomething needs parameters, then the application crashes when the method is called.

Also I'm getting a warning `NSView' may not responde to `-doSomething:'

In Objective-C you need to declare -doSomething and -doSomething: (and -doSomething:withSomethingElse: or -doSomething:: (infix parameter descriptors are not strictly necessary, just insanely useful)) separately in your class. The colon is very significant. What you can also do is just have a doSomething method with as many args as you may need and simply have default values for them in case the sender passes nil.


my superview in this case is a subclass of NSView and has a method called doSomething.
Which works fine if no parameters are passed..


In C and C++ you can define function prototypes for external methods. Can you do
the same in ObjectiveC?

If you can do it in C (not necessarily C++), you can do it in Objective-C.


By does anyone know of a group for PyObjC?

I don't, sorry. But others on this list might.
