macOS Syntax error before 'void'... Why?

[macindev]

Why am I getting this error message?

- (void)openWindow:(id)IBAction{
    [COLOR="Red"]error: syntax error before 'void'[/COLOR]
 [self.window makeKeyAndOrderFront:self];
}

FYI: This is inside the implementation.

I am trying to make a method for opening a window by selecting a menu item, but I am barely starting to learn Objective-C and I only know HTML...

Try:

- (IBAction)openWindow:(id)sender {
    [[self window] makeKeyAndOrderFront:nil];
}

Try:

- (IBAction)openWindow:(id)sender {
    [[self window] makeKeyAndOrderFront:nil];
}

Thanks, I tried that but am now getting a warning saying "'MyDocument' may not respond to '-window'". And, build fails with exit code 1 and says "duplicate symbol .objc_class_name_MyDocument"...


~ I do not know why this last part is happening, because I tried reverting the code back to a "working" state and I got the same error... strange... ~

Fixed it...

I finally figured out what was wrong, I made another class for a nib file called "Browser" but the methods were duplicates of what was in "MyDocument" and that was keeping it from building.
