I'm attempting to create a simple but user-friendly app to do some
heavy-duty number crunching at the same time as learning my way
around Cocoa. Thus far, I've created an document-based app that
opens and displays the contents of a text file containing data to be
analyzed and have succeeded in extracting all the info I need to
carry out the analysis. The document is displayed in a window with a
single button, which, when pressed, takes me into a controller via an
IBAction, which is where the heavy-lifting gets done. When this is
completed, I want to display the results in a separate window that
shows only output from the analysis and doesn't have any buttons,
etc. but which can be saved in the usual manner.
I presume that what I have to do is create another nib file with a
window of the sort that I want for showing the output, and I know how
to do this. But what I'm not clear on is how to add this to the
array of documents maintained by NSDocumentController. Do I put a
controller of some sort into this new nib? If so, should it be a
subclass of NSDocument or of NSWindow or of NSObject?
This is, I'm sure, a simple question, but although I've read
Hillegass's Cocoa book and a lot of Apple's documentation, I'm unsure
how to proceed.
Thanks in advance,
Boyd
