hi,
i'm reading "Cocoa Programming For Mac OS X". in chapter 9, the
author ask us to create another nib file for a custom "About" panel.
i need a little help. i created the nib fie, but i don't see how to
connect it or how to have it display itself when the user clicks on
the About Application.
i know i'm missing something.
does the AppController need a AboutController?
does the AppController need a method that would show the About panel?
i tried something like this:
#import <Cocoa/Cocoa.h>
@class PreferenceController;
@class AboutController;
@interface AppController : NSObject{
PreferenceController *preferenceController;
AboutController *aboutController;
}
-(IBAction)showPreferencePanel:(id)sender;
-(IBActon)showAboutPanel:(id)sender;
@end
i saved and then dragged the AppController.h into the MainMenu.nib.
i thought at this point there would be some connection for me to
make, but there was not.
ok, that thought was wrong.
using Interface Builder, i created the new nib, but i don't see any
way to get the response i'm looking for, clicking the About
Application in the Application menu and having it display the custom
About panel.
does AppController need to know about the AboutPanel? i'm lost a
bit, ok a lot.
thanks for any help you can give to get me on the right thought path.
if you can, please, point me to a reference that might help, another
book, apple documentation page, etc.
g.
