Thanks Ben. Yeah, I meant programatically. How do I access the instance using code?

The traditional way to get at objects that have been instantiated through IB is to connect them to your controller object via an outlet. You can also use bindings to do some stuff without having to directly manipulate the objects... I don't think this is what you're going for though.

I'm embarrassed to ask this question. Seems like it should be simple but I really don't know the answer.


When I instantiate one of my classes by (in Leopard) dragging an object icon from the library window over to the MainMenu.nib and selecting the name of my class from the inspector window an instance of my class is created (right?). I know because I can now then see the NSLog statements for init method of that class showing up in the console.

But if there's an instance of my class then I should be able to call a method on that instance without having to make a new instance. But how do I get ahold of that IB-created instance of my class so that I can call one of its methods??

I know I can do this to get ahold of my class through the bundle:

NSBundle *b = [NSBundle mainBundle];
Class myClass = [b classNamed:@"MySpecialClass];

But this doesn't give me the instance.
