I have been struggling over this one for a while now, and what frustrates me the most is the feeling that it should be relatively simple to do.
Let's say I have File1.m and File2.m, and I would like to access a variable in File2.m from File1. My previous programming experience is in Java, so my first impression was to do this (in the File1 implementation file): File2.outletVariable = varFile1; I tried reorganizing it to fit Object C in this manner: [File2.outletVariable setFloatValue:varFile1]; It would give me the error "syntax error before "." token," which I take to mean it doesn't support identifying variables in this manner. I have been through dozens of blogs, tutorials, and sample projects in the hopes of finding one that did this kind of thing, but I so far I haven't found blogs or tutorials that go over it, and the sample code that did have something like it was too difficult for me to understand, since it usually involved some other process that I wasn't familiar with. Some of what I read lead me to believe that the answer possibly lies in created another method and calling it from the other file. I haven't been able to get this to work for me either, however; the closest I got, it wouldn't let me pass a float variable through it. And it seemed like that was more work than necessary to pass variables in this manner. The reason I can't just put all the variables I want access to in the same file is because I'm developing an Audio Unit with the Cocoa View, and using Interface Builder, and the place I can get the variables are in a different file than the outlets for my textfields and sliders. I would really appreciate any suggestions. Other than a few little things like this, I have greatly enjoyed developing via Xcode and Interface builder.
