Yes. But what is the first responder? It is the user interface item which has focus. In many cases this will be a control such as a text field, which does not respond to openDocument:, and will pass it up the chain to the next responder an so on, until typically it reaches the window, which does not respond either, but will give its delegate a chance to respond, and if that doesn't handle it, it will go up the application which will give its delegate a chance to handle it. So the immediate answer to your question is that you need an instance of a class that responds to openDocument: either a) assigned to be the application delegate or b) assigned to be file's owner (set up in the nib by setting the class of file's owner, and setting the file's owner to be the window delegate). Quincey gave you the outline already of the longer-view learning curve in understanding the rest of how things fit together. -- Scott Ribe [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.killerbytes.com/ (303) 722-0567 voice _______________________________________________ Cocoa-dev mailing list (Cocoa-dev@lists.apple.com) Please do not post admin requests or moderator comments to the list.
