Hello,

Okay thanks, just as you suggested the call [NSApp mainWindow] was returning NULL. Using an outlet in the delegate works fine.

The reason I thought using mainWindow should work is that the Cocoa class documentation for NSApplication states "Sent by the default notification center after the application has been launched and initialized but before it has received its first event.". The statement is really nebulous as it doesn't give any indication as to how the state differs (if at all) from the normal running state.

I was aware of the concept of main and key windows. My thinking was that since there would only be a single window in my case (the window loaded via the main nib) that using [NSApp mainWindow] should always return the one window.

Thank you and everyone else for your prompt help.


Regards,

Timothy Mowlem

So still not sure why it is failing.

You seem to have missed the hints, so I'll spell it out for you: [NSApp mainWindow] may be returning nil, and if so, you're sending your -setToolbar: message to nil, which of course does absolutely nothing.

 The easiest thing for you to do is to add an outlet to your app
delegate (say "myWindow" or something like that), connect it to your
window, then: [myWindow setToolbar:...].
