dropping file issue?

Hello everyone, I am a newer to Cocoa programming.
I want to implement my application to open a text file when the text file icon drops on its icon in dock. Many books say we should do like this:
A. declare the -(BOOL) application :(NSApplication * ) theApp openFile:(NSString * ) filename method in the controller interface
B. implement the method above.


however after I did that exactly described above , when the application launched , I drop a .txt file to the application icon in the dock, nothing happened.

And I have correctly set the application's delegation to the controller in the interface builder.

Can someone tell me what goes wrong? Thanks in advance.
