Hi all,
I think I've hacked myself into a corner and I could use some advice /
clarity in getting out of it.
I am trying to build a tool that uses multiple views inside one window
as well as additional windows when appropriate.
The code for changing between views (changeViewController and
displayViewController) lives in the App Delegate class. This class has
the outlet to the window that all the views are shown in. This class
is also the delegate for the File's Owner in my main menu nib.
I then have NIBs for each different view. Each NIB has a corresponding
viewcontroller class which is the class for the File's Owner of that
NIB.
When the application launches an initial view is loaded and displayed
in the window from within the App Delegate class. The problem I then
have is that I can't work out how to change to another view. Any
methods I try and use are sent to the viewcontroller class for that
view and not the App Delegate.
The examples that I started out from all used a control outside of the
view. For example, the view was loaded into a box in the window, and
outside that box was an NSPopUp that you could use to switch views. I
understand how this works, as this control sends messages to the App
Delegate. This then has the code to change the view, and it also has
the outlet to the window and the box, so it can update these.
Is there a way for the viewcontroller class to receive the change view
request from the user and forward that to the App delegate class? Or
is this the wrong way to do it?
Any pointers to reading on the correct way to do this would be greatly
appreciated!
Thanks,
