I guess the other issue is that if I do it this way the retail version needs to have IBAction methods for Sparkle updating which I need to keep out of the AppStore version... So how can I set it up so that one nib can have a button linked to an IBAction (which is part of the delegate class), while the other nib has a mostly identical nib that does not have these outlet/actions? So when I define MyCommonAppDelegate in the nib, it should only have the "SparkleUpdate" IBAction in the retail version... So this code really sits in MyPrefPaneDelegate... But how do I get IB to realize this? I am really trying not to have any duplicated code here. _______________________________________________ Cocoa-dev mailing list (Cocoa-dev@lists.apple.com) Please do not post admin requests or moderator comments to the list.
