Hallo Graham,
the init-method of the DelegateClass is running. This is because I have a class
object in the Document.xib file. But nevertheless I changed the init-method
into initWithFrame with the same result. Then I changed it into initWithCoder
and the result is not an array with (null) but an array without content.
My DocumentProtocol is only to send the array created in the document class to
the DelegateClass. That’s all. And this part of code works fine. The
DelegateClass gets the array created in the document class and if I press the
button the button-action calls the showArray-method and the array will be
printed out correctly. But only if I call the showArray method from within the
drawRect-method, it will be printed out (null) or empty.
Yes I just need one array, but I have to work with the arrays values in another
class. Because I don’t wanna create a global variable I send the array via a
protocol.
There’s surely another way to work with the document array in the DelegateClass
but I really want to understand, how it can be that an array has contend if the
method which only prints the array out is called from a button-action and is
(null) or empty if it’s called from drawRect.
I’m a very newbie and I think that it is important for every other app to
understand this.
Many Thanks,
Raimond
