In the latest set of responses to my query "Building an MVC based App for Mac OS X - NOT iOS"
The question of - am I building a "Document Based App"? After reading the Apple Document "Designing a Document-Based Application" I can say NO, I don't believe I am building a Document Based App. I did run a test and created a NEW Project and checked the box "Create a Document-based App" AND no Controller files (.h,.m) were automatically generated. Which leads to the general mechanical problem of how does one create Controller files (.h,.m)? You get them auto created when working in iOS BUT they are not auto created when working in Mac OS X. Then the latest set of responses discuss which Controller to use once the "general mechanical how to create a controller" is answered. Jens Writes ------ Anyway, to answer YT’s original question: To create new controllers you can use the New File… command and create a new OS X NSWindowController or NSViewController subclass. Xcode will put boilerplate code in the new files and even create .xibs. If you’re creating a document-based app you may want to create an NSDocument subclass, which is higher-level and abstracts the file I/O for you. --------- AND I found that to actually use any controller one creates via NEW File... as a Controller You have to disconnect the Auto generated Delegate from the Outlets Connection in the File's Owner Object in the IB Doc Please correct me if I am wrong about this point. All of you discuss the utilities of the following Controllers. NSWindowController NSViewController UIViewController NSController From a nubee Apple App programming point of view they all appear to be similar WHICH MEANS I will have to read more about each to be able to make an intelligent choice that fits my intended purpose. more later...
