connections and the nib lifecycle


  • Subject: connections and the nib lifecycle

I have a class that extends NSWindowController. I instantiate and call it like this

  MyWindowController *controller = [[MyWindowController alloc] init];
  [controller test:@"test"];

The NIB has the textField connected. Here is the (simplified) implementation of the controller.

- (id) init
{
    self = [super initWithWindowNibName:@"SomeOther"];
    return self;
}

- (void) awakeFromNib
{
    NSLog(@"nib loaded.");
}

- (void) windowDidLoad
{
    NSLog(@"window loaded.");
}

- (void) test:(NSString*)string
{
    [textField setStringValue:string];

    NSLog(@"textField=%@", textField);

    int ret = [NSApp runModalForWindow:[self window]];

    NSLog(@"textField=%@", textField);


Looking into the test method. Why on earth is the textField nil first and only after the runModalForWindow holds the proper reference??
I've already gotten the awakeFromNib and even the windowDidLoad message!


I am confused. Any wise words?

cheers
