You just need to make it a habit. When you add a delegate connection, add the setDelegate:nil at the same time. Soon ARC's zeroing weak references will make this concern a thing of the past. But for now, you need to internalize it. --Kyle Sluder _______________________________________________ Cocoa-dev mailing list (Cocoa-dev@lists.apple.com) Please do not post admin requests or moderator comments to the list.
