Re: NSImageView not responding to clicks.

Do you really need to use an NSImageView? You can use a button that contains an image instead of text. In IB, open the inspector and select the Button Attributes tab. You can specify the "Image" and the "Alt. Image". --Andy On Jul 3, 2008, at 6:53 AM, Papa-Raboon wrote: Hi all, I ha

You're assigning a value to theSettings. That's what the "assignment" in the warning message refers to. What is theSettings declared as? You should fix your code so that all warnings go away. Warnings almost always indicate that something could potentially go wrong, so you might as well
