This is a bit hard to explain but I'll try to keep it simple and
clear.... The short version would be:
"Can two nib files share an instance of a custom class instead of both
creating their separate instance"...
The long version:
I have a custom window controller (let's call it
CustomWindowController) to manage a custom window... this is contained
in a separate nib file (i.e. not in my MainMenu.nib)
In that window's nib file, the File Owner is set to that
CustomWindowController class so that my class can communicate with my
window...
Now let's say I have an action in my CustomWindowController (for
clarity's sake let's call it performActionClicked: )
I connected my window's button to it's FileOwner's
performActionClicked action... good, everything is working well...
Now here comes the tricky part: I want a menu item from the app's main
menu (located in MainMenu.nib) to ALSO be able to perform this action
(the same performActionClicked: thats located in my
CustomWindowController)....
My first idea was to add an "Object" to my MainMenu.nib and set its
class to CustomWindowController, that way I can access its actions...
but the problem is that both nib files create their own instance of
CustomWindowController.... (I know this because I put an NSLog(@"Im
awake!"); in my CustomWindowController's awakeFromNib... and, as I
expected, the message appears twice in the console...
Is there a way that both nib files can "share" the same instance of my
CustomWindowController???
