You can just re-declare the 'view' property in a subclass to have the desired return type. In the implementation, you can provide an override that simply calls super, or you can cheat slightly by using '@dynamic view' in the subclass to make it use the superclass implementation. > Is it even worth using on OS X since there are so few built in methods?

There's not a lot in it, but NSViewController has code for managing ownership of the top-level view objects, it has a convenient 'representedObject' property, and of course it implements 'loadView'. It's probably worth using even for these minor benefits. _______________________________________________ Cocoa-dev mailing list (Cocoa-dev@lists.apple.com) Please do not post admin requests or moderator comments to the list.
