Question

I have been making applications for Mac with Objective-C for about a year now but due to not really understanding how to use classes properly I have only ever used the ‘AppDelegate’ files. I want to start using classes as soon as possible because from what I understand it’s very bad practice to clump it in to one class. Basically, how do I have two windows, each controlled by it’s own class. I understand how to make objects similar to NSString or something but don’t understand how to have classes that control windows etc.

Thanks

Edit: Basically I want to know how to split up my application in to classes.

Answer 1

If I understand you correctly then you need to create individual controller classes sporting their own IBOutlets and IBActions and hook these up to your UI elements. To split up an existing application into smaller classes requires some knowledge of Object Oriented programming.

Alternatively, you might benefit from reading this (or a similar) book:

‘Cocoa Programming for Mac OS X’ by Aaron Hillegass.
