   Hello all,

I'm stuck in the Cocoa text editor tutorial ( in
ADC Home > Reference Library > Documentation > Cocoa > Text & Fonts > Text
System Overview >
Building a Text Editor in 15 Minutes)


At step 7 I cannot "control-drag" the File's Owner icon (it doesn't
move), and when I open
the File's Owner inspector, choosing 'Connections' and then 'Outlets' then
two outlets
appear : 'window' and 'textview'. The tutorial says to either
double-click on 'textview'
or select it and press the button "Connect", but unfortunately the button
is frozen
and when I double-click on 'textview' nothing happens.


                   Can anyone help me on this ?

Ewan

Ewan,

from one newbie to another:

I think you would benefit by getting a copy of Aaron Hillegass' "Cocoa Programming For Mac OS X". It's a good book and a good investment if you want to learn Cocoa programming.

I see that in my local copy of "Building a Text Editor in 15 Minutes", the relevant line is:

5. Connect the textView outlet of the File’s Owner by Control- dragging from the File’s Owner icon in the Instances pane of MyDocument.nib to the text view in the window, as shown in Figure 4.

Note the "from" after the words "Control-dragging". Perhaps you just need to read the tutorial a bit closer.

Good luck

Ron _______________________________________________
