Not sure about this. All the examples in the docs have the installer of the tracking area retain the tracking area. (I know, this isn't proof that -addTrackingArea: doesn't or shouldn't retain it, and I'm the one who just called the docs out as advocating an anti-pattern). But considering that the API is intended to be used to create and install tracking areas on objects that are potentially different from their "owner", it seems sensible that -addTrackingArea: might not retain the tracking area. Of course, whether it does or not should absolutely be documented. --Kyle Sluder _______________________________________________ Cocoa-dev mailing list (Cocoa-dev@lists.apple.com) Please do not post admin requests or moderator comments to the list.
