Cocoa class names should generally begin with an uppercase character > 2. Add the code below to myDocController You didn't call super, which I'd highly advise. Then apply your custom logic only if the selector is openDocument: and super returned YES. > 3. Connect File/Open menu command to myDocController's openDocument IBAction > (in IB or Xcode 4). There should be no need for this step. By default the action is sent to the First Responder, which means it'll wind up at the document controller eventually. > > > - (IBAction)openDocument:(id)sender > > { > > [super openDocument:sender]; > > } > > > -(BOOL)validateMenuItem:(id)sender > > { > > BOOL ok = YES; > > extern BOOL haveData; > > > if ([sender action] == @selector(openDocument:)) > > ok = (haveData == NO); > > > > return ok; > > } > > -- > Mike McLaughlin > _______________________________________________ > > Cocoa-dev mailing list (Cocoa-dev@lists.apple.com) > > Please do not post admin requests or moderator comments to the list. > Contact the moderators at cocoa-dev-admins(at)lists.apple.com > > Help/Unsubscribe/Update your Subscription: > http://lists.apple.com/mailman/options/cocoa-dev/cocoadev%40mikeabdullah.net > > This email sent to cocoa...@mikeabdullah.net _______________________________________________ Cocoa-dev mailing list (Cocoa-dev@lists.apple.com) Please do not post admin requests or moderator comments to the list.
