Assuming the "it" you are getting away with is not needing to accept a parameter…

You need to do it under AppKit, and not under UIKit, because they are two different frameworks, designed nearly twenty years apart. AppKit action methods have taken sender parameters since (I assume) the framework was first designed in the '80s. Apple probably doesn't want to monkey with that code. UIKit was a fresh start in the past five-plus years. With a generation of experience, Apple apparently didn't think it was always useful to pass sender pointers. You can get away with declaring action methods without parameters (or with two) because UIKit supports it, as AppKit does not. — F -- Fritz Anderson -- Xcode 4 Unleashed: Now in stores! -- <http://x4u.manoverboard.org/> _______________________________________________ Cocoa-dev mailing list ([email protected]) Please do not post admin requests or moderator comments to the list.
