For my app I would like to share a window for two related document
files (eg the .m and .h files of a ObjC class). They are supposed
to be displayed in two different NSTextViews in the same window. If
the user wants to open a different set of files, a new window
should open.
I started with the standard Cocoa document application, with
MyDocument containing two NSString ivars and two IBOutlets for the
NSTextViews. However I don't think this will work since as far as I
can see there can only be one file associated with an NSDocument.
Any suggestions how I can approach this?
I've only seen diagrams showing multiple windows attached to a single
document. So don't readily know if it's also possible to have
multiple documents associated with a single window.
One approach may be to just start out by driving things with one of
the two files (e.g. maybe always the .h). Then, override appropriate
methods so that the secondary file (.m) is also opened/saved/etc.
Hmm..maybe search into using NSDocument to manage document packages.
To the eyes of NSDocument, it will be working with just one "file",
but under the covers, it will be working with multiple files.
