Programmatically connecting outlets
-
In my main app controller, I'm creating instances of a custom window
controller to manage multiple copies of a window I have in a separate
nib file. I'd like to create a connection between my app controller
and the window controllers, so that controls in the window can
communicate with the window controller, which can process information
and then communicate with the app controller. How do I do this? Thanks
in advance. -

There is nothing special about an outlet. IBOutlet is a macro that
expands to absolutely nothing. It's simply used to tell IB "Hey, this
ivar is supposed to be set in IB."

Or in short, an outlet is just an instance variable that points to
an object. Just assign it the value of whatever object you want it to
point to. Usually, you'd use an accessor method for that.
