Re: Call method from a different file

Hi, Brian.  If you want your table view (let's call it myTableView) 
to call a method in a different class (call it myOtherClass), I'd 
suggest hooking up myTableView's 'delegate' variable to 
myOtherClass.  This can be done in Interface Builder, or can be done 
programmatically via [myTableView setDelegate:myOtherClass].

Then, from your -keyDown: (assume that myOtherClass has a class type 
of BAOtherClass): {
   [(BAOtherClass *)[self delegate] performMyMethod];
}

Make sure to #import "BAOtherClass.h" into your table view subclass.

Cheers,
   Andrew
