I am trying to open a defined document type programmatically.
Document type is defined in info.plist and opens with UI just fine.
I can not get openFileWithoutUI to work. I have read documentation
and I find no samples of code. There are several places I could be
making an error but I can not see what I may be doing wrong.
1. I set an object: AppController as a delegate of my NSApplication
in IB. In MainMenu.NIB if I click on AppController object I see
File's Owner in the referencing outlet as a delegate.
2. I have a method in AppController:
- (BOOL)application:(id)sender openFileWithoutUI:(NSString *)filename
{
return [self application:NSApp openFile:filename];
}
3: I call from another controller with the following:
NSApplication* app = [NSApplication sharedApplication];
[app application:self openFileWithoutUI: totalFile];
When this last statement is executed it does not call the
AppController:: "application:(id)sender openFileWithoutUI:(NSString
*)filename" method.
in Console we get the error:
"-[NSApplication application:openFileWithoutUI:]: unrecognized
selector sent to ..."
Probably be something wrong with my delegate set up. Any suggestions?
Not the delegate setup. NSApplication won't respond to your custom
method unless you set a category. Delegation only occurs for
specifically defined delegate methods. What you probably want is
[NSApp delegate]. This will return the application delegate. NSApp is
a global variable that always represents the shared application object
(same as [NSApplication sharedApplication] ).
[[NSApp delegate] application:self openFileWithoutUI: totalFile];
