Hi,
On this topic, when I drag an object out of the Library and set its
class, IB sets the label of the object to the Class Name. Since this
is an instance of the class, and not the Class Object itself, why is
the name capitalized? And if I want to refer by name to that instance
in my code, what is the name of the instance?
Say I drag out an object and set its class to MyClass. IB dutifully
names the object MyClass also. So in my code if I code [MyClass
somemessage], does that message go to the Class Object or to the
instance made in IB? If to the Class Object, how do I code to refer to
the instance?
Also, I found out that IB will not let me make 2 instances of the same
Class. In code, I could say myClassInstance1 = [MyClass new]; and
MyClassInstance2 = [MyClass new];, but apparently not in IB.
This has been a mystery to me for six years now.
Also, the documentation only says about File's Owner that it is the
object that loaded the nib file. What is that object, if my nib file
just gets loaded at application launch?
Thanks
Johnny

When your application *loads* a nib, it:
(3a) instantiates the objects,
(3b) sets their attributes, and
(3c) connects them both to each other and to certain things in your
application (in particular, File's Owner, which you should
definitely understand).
