Another newbie question on the document architecture


  • Subject: Another newbie question on the document architecture

Apologies for having to ask another question of people, but here goes.

I have set up a relatively simple document structure in my app. At the centre is NSDocumentController. For every document that is loaded, an instance of my subclass of NSDocument is loaded. My subclass then creates an instance of my subclass of NSWindowController, whose job it is to handle displaying the window.

Having created the NSWindowController, my NSDocument basically does nothing. However, some times my NSDocument recieves a message requesting for it to fill in a NSTextField in the document window with a custom string.

So my question is, how do I achieve this? I see no easy way of requesting from within NSDocument anything that affects the NSWindowController it has created. I see there is a method which gives you an array containing all the window controllers that the document has. However, I do intend to add more window controllers to my document class in the future so I feel that simply acting upon the first window controller in the list probably isn't a good idea.

I'm sure people have this kind of issue all the time, so I assume there is a fairly standard, simple way of dealing with it?

Mike Abdullah.
