This puzzles me. I am tracing through some code in which I am looking at the value of some selected popup menu items. I am seeing the correct values for them, but I have to confess I don't know how the code is connected to the popup, or just why the code even works! I see the connections for the buttons on the interface, and I hit the breakpoints I expect, but I don't see any connections between the member variables and the popup items.
It happens when the nib is loaded. As the objects in the nib get created, their instance variables are set up to point to each other as described in the nib. This even applies to your controller object (the one that "owns" the nib), which exists before the nib is loaded — AppKit uses Obj-C introspection to look up its instance variables dynamically and change them to point to the objects from the nib.
