This is "owner"-of-IB-Module-files in view mode; [Up]
Date: Sun 06-Sep-1989 22:23:10 From: Unknown Subject: "owner" of IB Module files Gang, Is there some reason that the "owner" of an Interface Builder module file must be either Object or a direct subclass of Object? I'm interested in having an interface file read in where the "owner" would be a View subclass. I realize I can do this myself by specifying the View as the owner in that isn't an Object or immediate subclass. This makes automatic initialization of instance variables in the owner impossible.

Create a subclass of Object called <<object>>. Have <<object>> be the owner, with a customview in it set to <<object>>View. <<object>> has one instance varaible, myView, which goes to your <<object>>View. It also repeats all of <<object>>View's methods and sends them to <<object>>View. Real simple, and it will work. Most likely, as you start to do this, you will realize that there are more efficeint ways. Namely, let <<object>> handle everything but the actual image, and have it send <<object>>View all the information it needs. Michael Rutman Softmed >From: eht@O.GP.CS.CMU.EDU (Eric Thayer)
