macOS nstreecontroller does not call any init methods

[MrFusion]

Hi everyone

My subclass of NSTreeController has a delegate, which can be set in IB. If no delegate is set, my subclass should act as the delegate. So I have to do this before awakeFromNib is called, which means in the init method of my subclass.

However, init and initWithContent are never called. I have no idea why. Some init method should be the first method that is called.

The content is provided by coredata.

@synthesize delegate;

-(void) setDelegate:(id) value {
	if (!value)
		delegate = self;
	delegate = value;
}

-(id) initWithContent:(id)content { printf("initwithcontent");
	self = [super initWithContent:content];
	if (self != nil) {
		delegate = self;
	}
	return self;
}

Thanks

Objects instantiated in Interface Builder are initialized at runtime using -initWithCoder:, not any arbitrary initializer you might have defined.

Ok thanks. BTW, "initWithContent" is specified in the API for NSTreeController.
