Access AppDelegate Method from MyView Class?

ChrisYates · September 2012

I have an AppDelegate and a MyView Class which specifically deals only with keyDown events. What I am trying to do is something like this:

NSUInteger key = 18;
    if ([theEvent keyCode] == key){
    access AppDelegate Method oneButton

In my AppDelegate I have set up a method:
-(IBAction)oneButton:(id)sender;
and also
-(void)oneButton;

In my MyView class I have added #import "AppDelegate.h" and this method:

- (void)keyDown:(NSEvent *)theEvent {
    NSLog(@"keyDown: %@", [theEvent characters]);
    NSLog(@"%d",theEvent.keyCode);
    
   NSUInteger key = 18;
   if ([theEvent keyCode] == key){
      AppDelegate *appDelegate = (AppDelegate *) [[NSApplication sharedApplication] delegate];
    [appDelegate oneButton];
    
    }
    
}

It outputs the NSLog without issues but will not call the oneButton method from my AppDelegate.

How would I access the oneButton method from MyView class?

Thanks.

Are you sure that the method isn't being called? Perhaps you aren't passing the test, and thus never running the code that calls the method.

What you're doing is right, if that's what you're asking. So it's a logic problem.

Thanks Brian for your reply. I added an NSLog to the method in question but it never outputted to the log, in fact I still have no idea why it didn't work. In the end I had to do a rather long workaround!!

Howdy, Stranger!
