Question

I want to get reference on BaseController from AppDelegate.

My MainMenu.xib’s hierarchy is

where BaseController is:

@interface BaseController : NSObject

I’m trying but I always get nil;

BaseController *base = (BaseController*)self.window.windowController;

Answer 1

Create an outlet for it in the app delegate and connect the controller to the outlet, as you would any other object (for example a button) in Interface Builder.

Then, in your app delegate, you can refer to it like this:

BaseController *base = self.windowController;

You don’t need a cast if you already have declared the outlet to be of class BaseController.
