Hi,
I have subclassed NSWindowContoller. I am using it for a preferences panel. in my application controller I have a method that gets called by the menu to show the panel.
I need to run some methods first in my preferences controller first before I do some loading, so I put this in my awakeFromNib method in my application contoller.
preferencesController = [[PreferencesController alloc] init];
[preferencesController runMyMethod];
pretty straightforward. At this point I haven't released the preferencesContoller at all so it should still be in memory and I should still be able to access that instance with this:
[preferencesContoller showWindow];
that is the only thing in the method when I click on the menu to show the window. However, when I do that It calls init in my PreferencesContoller class. Which is NOT what it should be doing. It should be accessing the preferencesController instance.
Is there something here that I don't get, because this obviously doesn't follow the norm. I haven't been able to find documentation on-line. I do know that Apple's documentation says :
"Displays the window associated with the receiver." Which is misleading, because it wants to create another receiver and display THAT window.
