With new versions of IB, it's not even necessary to remember. Simply
right-click on an object and it will bring up a HUD with the list of
outlets or sent messages or whatever you need. Alternatively, you can
view this list in the outlets tab of the inspector window.
Even if the outlet you need is in a different object than the one
you've selected, you can just drag from the "new referencing outlet"
option to the object with that outlet. Using this right-click
technique, selection is possible in either direction.

Good afternoon!
I am trying to learn Cocoa and am having difficulty remembering
which direction to CTRL-drag controls to wire up the controls in
Interface Builder. For example, dragging from my button to my App
Controller (NSObject) or vice versa. Does anyone have a way to
explain this that might make it stick?
It seems to me that a button should make a call to my App Controller
when the click event is fired; therefore I should CTRL-drag FROM the
button TO the NSObject. This would allow me to select the
appropriate Received Action (ie, "doSomething", etc."). However, if
I need to do something with a text box (read from it) and a table
view (insert an item), I should go the other way... since I'm going
to fetch from the text field and then insert into the NSArray that
is feeding the text view.
Sorry for such a noob question. Thank you, in advance, for your
patience and assistance.
