Others have answered the direct question, I thought I would wander off into the realm of potentially unwanted advice. If your class is getting this large, then it may be a sign that your design is becoming unwieldy and you should actually be splitting it into multiple classes. Personally I try to keep my classes under 2000 lines whenever possible, and under 1000 if I can. When I can't avoid them getting larger, then I try to see if I can split them up nicely. Often when they become that large, it's because they're doing 2-3 distinct tasks, and each of those distinct tasks can generally be split into a separate class. Anyway, just a thought on design, obviously you don't have to listen. :-) Mike _______________________________________________ Cocoa-dev mailing list (Cocoa-dev@lists.apple.com) Please do not post admin requests or moderator comments to the list.
