Hi Steven
it took me a couple of days to reply, I had to find the time to try
myself and then watch your video.
First, I went step by step through the Tutorial [1] which I updated
years ago and found it still valid, except some minor details which are
perhaps not worth.
I tested current GIT versions of Gorm and ProjectCenter. Actions and
Connections work fine, I vereified both existing classes (like
AppController) or an instantiated class.
Watching your video I have two hints:
1) to connect an action you start from source (e.g. button) to target
class. Then in the inspector either you choose menu or nextkeyView or
for a custom action you need to select "target". I fail to understand if
you actually do that, I think not.
2) actions need to have a ":" at the end. It is specified in the
tutorial. The pre-instantiated name has it. When you click on it and
rename it, leave it in or retype in.
Your video was too pixelated for me to fully read the name you typed.
Possibly Gorm could be more refined and just select the name without the
colon, but... it is what it is. File an enhancement request. But first
check that your name is like "click:" or "myAction:" and not "click" or
"myAction". It stands for the (id)sender parameter that all interface
actions must have.
Vice-versa you can also instantiate the class, define the actions in
ProjectCenter header file and use IBAction. there you need to call it like
- (IBAction) myAction:(id)sender;
on save, PC will automatically notify Gorm if it is open, trigger a
reparse and if the signature is correct, it will show. You can do that
also at a later stage. E.g. a way of working is to draft main actions in
Gorm, put actions. Later, if you need one more you forgot, you add it in
ProjectCenter and re-parse in Gorm.
Hope it helps...
