Actually that is not what I want to do. I have an NSView with a checkbox in it. I don't care about getting notified when someone clicks the checkbox because this is in a plugin with a defined architecture in which one method in my class gets called repeatedly by the system regardless of what I do to the code.

So each time I get called, I simply want to inspect the state of the check box as being on or off. I have to do it in the method that gets called by the system, not in my own message handler. It seems absurd to me that I have to go through so many machinations just to get one value from one control.

So then just make an outlet to the checkbox.

I am working with a copy of another plugin which has the same code but NSTextEdit fields instead of an NSButton checkbox. I already have code in the first plugin that gets the text of the edit fields. Now in the second plugin I want to reuse the same code but just access the value of the checkbox instead of the text of the edit fields.

You should really read the docs on the classes you're working with. APIs on one class may not be available on another, so you cannot simply change control types and expect a clean compile.


Also, read up on MVC design patterns. I still say that eventually you should look at a bindings solution. If you never need to work with control actions, you'll have no code to write and your model will be updated whenever controls change.
