Ok. Thanks for the reply - this may sound stupid but I haven't dealt with delegates much. If I make the window controller the delegate would I just declare a method in that window controller's files as below?
- (void)controlTextDidChange:(NSNotification)notification { runMyFunction(); } Sorry if I seem stupid but as I say I don't use them much.
