Hmm, the only outlets listed in the Inspector Connections section for my textfield are:
- delegate
- formatter
- menu
- nextKeyView
Where is "myTextField" supposed to show up?
Thx!

Look at the Inspector for the controller - in the Connections section (blue circle with an arrow). Here you should see a list of Outlets, and so forth.

I'm a little confused trying to assign a NSTextField to an IBOutlet using the new Interface Builder in Leopard.



I added a new outlet, defined in my Controller.h as:



IBOutlet NSTextField *myTextField;



I control-drag a blue line from the instantiation of my Controller object (blue cube) to the text field on my NIB, and it comes up with a small black Outlets menu showing me the possible outlet assignments I can make. "myTextField" shows up in this little menu.




But, how do I actually MAKE an assignment? If I select the "myTextField" entry in the menu and click it, the menu goes away, but is it assigned? If I control-drag again, it shows me the same list of possible outlets, but there's no indication which outlet is assigned to it, if any.
