I've done some testing, but I just can't make this work...
I have an NSWindowController that manages a pop-up window and a button
in the main window that launches the pop-up window when it's pressed.
I need to pass a managedObjectContext to the window controller.
If I create the NSWindowController programmatically with a custom
initializer:
NSWindowController *myWindowController = [[NSWindowController alloc]
initWithWindowNibName:@"MyWindow" moc:self.managedObjectContext];
everything works fine. I can also pass the managedObejctContext
separately without breaking anything.
But, things fall apart when I try to add the window controller to the
main window's nib. Once I add an object for the window controller in
the main window's nib and set its class to NSWindowController, the app
uses NSWindowController's designated initializer, initWithWindow to
initialize the window controller.
By default, NSWindowController contains an outlet for its window. If
I connect the NSWindowController's window outlet to the pop up window
and add an NSLog to the initWithWindow method asking for
NSWindowController's self.window, it comes back null and the window
doesn't load.
It seems like the connection in the pop up window's nib file from
File's Owner (the NSWindowController) outlet to the window is not
being honored. Even if I create another outlet (oWindow), connect it
to the window controller and try to set it in initWithWindow with:
- (id)initWithWindow:(NSWindow *)window {
if (self == [super initWithWindow:self.oWindow]) {
//NSLog(@"Window is %@", self.window);
NSLog(@"MOC is %@", self.mMainManagedObjectContext);
self.window.title = @"New Account";
}
return self;
}
it fails.
How can I make this work?
Thanks.
Brad
