Why do you think you need to know? That's the concern of the API you're calling. If it needs to retain the object you're passing it, then it will. If it doesn't, it won't. The legacy delegate stuff that you cited calls out the fact that they don't because it is contrary to normal expectations, and thus requires explicit concern by the caller. -ben _______________________________________________ Cocoa-dev mailing list ([email protected]) Please do not post admin requests or moderator comments to the list.
