I’m not clear on what that means. If the class doesn’t have any instances, how are you calling an instance method on it? > Within this pearl, we have [super sendevent:event]; within an @try block. > At the point of the exception, super isn't even accessible, declared or > defined. ‘super’ isn’t an object. It’s a language keyword that’s used as the receiver of a method call (message-send). It just means to call the superclass’s implementation of the method, or more literally, “send this message to self but ignore any implementation in self’s class, instead starting lookup in the superclass.” If [super sendEvent:event] throws an exception, it means that the superclass does not have a -sendEvent: method. —Jens _______________________________________________ Cocoa-dev mailing list (Cocoa-dev@lists.apple.com) Please do not post admin requests or moderator comments to the list.
