I have the contentView of an NSTabViewItem controlled by an NSViewController. I need to run code in there to initialize things when the nib is loaded, but not before the view has a -window.

Putting the code in -awakeFromNib is no good because it will not yet be in a window if another tab is selected during nib loading. I believe it would work to subclass the content view and implement - viewDidMoveToWindow, but that seems silly since it would be the only code in this subclass.

It seems like NSViewController should give me a "view has moved to window" notification or delegate message, but I can't find any. There is a -loadView, but Cocoa does not invoke it when loading or moving the view.

Is there a better way -- or, what have I done wrong?


The usual way is to implement -windowDidLoad (a NSWindowController method) and put your code in there. This is called when the window is first shown by the window controller, since windows are constructed lazily.
