I'm not following here. It's generally bad form to override a method for the sole purpose of changing its return type. Just cast the returned value got the appropriate type. > Is it even worth using on OS X since there are so few built in methods?

NSViewController does correct memory management of all top level object in the job, including breaking retain cycles caused by Cocoa Bindings. It's also an NSResponder subclass, though it doesn't get inserted into the responder chain automatically. If you'd like to see NSViewController become more than marginally useful, please file Radars. --Kyle Sluder _______________________________________________ Cocoa-dev mailing list (Cocoa-dev@lists.apple.com) Please do not post admin requests or moderator comments to the list.
