It's not safe... once the target is found (using respondsToSelector:, you're right), the action is performed with:[target performSelector:actionSelector withObject:sender];
which means that anything but an object as a sender will potentially crash. The only safe thing you can image is to have an action selector with no paramater at all. -- Julien On Mon, Sep 15, 2008 at 10:13 PM, Dave Dribin <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Hello, > > Is it safe to use -[NSApplication targetForAction:] with non-action > selectors?
