macOS XCode Tool related

[satyam90]

Hi,
I am using XCode tool for development of a project.
In that I created a subclass of NSWindowController in the project.
Now if I see the Inspector->attributes->actions, "showWindow:" is deactivated. How to show now?
any help?
Also I want to know is there any online help(full featured) related to XCode tool?

Regards,
Satya.

I'm not sure why this would happen. Maybe it's a bug in IB? You could try restarting IB. Maybe the connection is invalid?

Edit: I seem to remember seeing this before, but I can't remember how it happened. It hasn't occurred recently though. Try updating to Xcode 2.4.1 if you haven't already.

Also I want to know is there any online help(full featured) related to XCode tool?

Apple's Xcode 2 User Guide may be useful.

Hmm, its greyed out for me too for a custom subclass of NSWindowController in my program (D&D Manager).

I suggest just creating an IBOutlet (eg IBOutlet NSWindow *window;) to link to the window you want to show and another action method which calls [window makeKeyAndOrderFront:self];, as that'll work, and then let you get on with your project.

Which nib? I want to figure this out

In my code its in Battle.nib or GrantXP.nib if you want a less complex nib file.

However, even though the action is greyed out, it is possible to link to the action in IB from a button, so I assume it'd work once the program was built as well.
