Typically this isn't what you want to do. You'll usually create the window controller from code (external to any nib) and use it as the owner of a nib that contains the window you want it to control. > In that window's nib file, the File Owner is set to that > CustomWindowController class so that my class can communicate with my > window...

If you can reach it from File's Owner, you can do what you want, but as I said above this is a typical use of the responder chain. Though depending on your situation an NSWindowController subclass might not be the appropriate place for it; it might be an NSDocument subclass or your NSApplication's delegate. --Kyle Sluder _______________________________________________ Cocoa-dev mailing list (Cocoa-dev@lists.apple.com) Please do not post admin requests or moderator comments to the list.
