Set a breakpoint on both the lines you quoted above, and see which one gets hit first. -applicationDidFinishLaunching: is not necessarily the first method invoked on the application delegate; it gets instantiated when the nib loads, and there can be activity during nib loading that ends up calling methods in the delegate. In general, initialization code like this in a nib-loaded object should go into its -awakeFromNib method, which is [almost] guaranteed to be the first method invoked on that object. —Jens _______________________________________________ Cocoa-dev mailing list (Cocoa-dev@lists.apple.com) Please do not post admin requests or moderator comments to the list.
