As far as I can see, this article talks about different ways to implement setters and getters. Do you want to imply that, whenever I get some object from AppKit, I have to retain it until I no longer need it? Would be a safe thing to do. But also tedious. And in all my past experience this was never necessary. So I thought that the "Technique 1" of the linked article (returning [[someObject retain] autorelease]) was the standart practice employed by AppKit. Kind regards, Gerriet. _______________________________________________ Cocoa-dev mailing list (Cocoa-dev@lists.apple.com) Please do not post admin requests or moderator comments to the list.
