- This may be a naive question. I'm confused about the workings of
- outlets in interface builder. I understand what outlets are supposed
- to do -- provide access to instances of other objects, but I'm
- confused how Interface Builder accomplishes this.
-
- So if I have a interface definition to myobject
-
- @interface myobject:Object
- {
- id outlet1;
- id outlet2;
- }
- ...
- @end
-
- I use IB to set outlet1 and outlet2 to some object instances in my
- application. Later when I invoke the app and send a message to
- myobject, outlet1 and outlet2 properly have object instances assigned
- to them.
-
- How does the startup code gain access to what I believe are private
- variables in myobject to initialize them properly? What syntax would
- I use if I were to try to do this manually?
-
-
- Maybe I'm off with some of my assumptions on how ObjectiveC works.
- In any case I'd appreciate if someone could enlighten me.
-
- Thanks,
-
