See also -[ETTool mainItem] that corresponds to the main window (-keyItem corresponds to the key window). What do you mean by the active tool doesn't seem to be connected to a responder? Both Frameworks/EtoileUI/MarkupEditor and Developer/Services/ModelBuilder might interest you btw, to see how to use ETDocumentController, ETController and ETItemTemplate. > Would anyone have an idea how to go about this, or be able to suggest an > alternative approach? If you use ETDocumentController, you can send -activeItem to it to get the frontmost item that corresponds to the current document. That would be the recommended way.
