Question

I am working on a Cocoa/Objective-C app in XCode4 that uses shortcutrecorder to record keyboard shortcuts and save them to defaults.

I am saving the KeyCombo.code and KeyCombo.flags attributes from the recorder, i.e:

[shortcutRecorder KeyCombo].code
[shortcutRecorder KeyCombo].flags

Where shortcutRecorder is an IBOutlet to the SRRecorderControl.

In order to restore saved keyboard shortcuts when the user opens the preferences window again, I load the KeyCombo.code and KeyCombo.flags attributes from defaults, and need to restore them to the `SRRecorderControl.

I am trying to do:

 [shortcutRecorder setKeyCombo:[
        PTKeyCombo keyComboWithKeyCode:
        [shortcutRecorder keyCombo].code
        modifiers:[shortcutRecorder cocoaToCarbonFlags:[shortcutRecorder 
        keyCombo].flags]]];

But this causes an error: Sending 'id' to parameter of incompatible type 'KeyCombo' (aka 'struct_KeyCombo')

I thought this might be because setKeyCombo takes a KeyCombo object and not a PTKeyCombo object, so I changed it:

[shortcutRecorder setKeyCombo:[
        KeyCombo keyComboWithKeyCode:
        [shortcutRecorder keyCombo].code
        modifiers:[shortcutRecorder cocoaToCarbonFlags:[shortcutRecorder 
                keyCombo].flags]]];

But now I receive the error: Receiver type 'KeyCombo' (aka 'struct_KeyCombo') is not an Objective-C class

I’m not sure how to go about creating a valid object to pass to setKeyCombo. Any tips on the best way to handle this?

Try SRMakeKeyCombo(code, flags)
