Hi,

Ahhh, you mean, awakeFromNib in the AppDelegate not the window/view controller. I think I was trying to avoid tying the initialisation to a NIB (in case I ever created it programmatically), but I guess in the case of the NSApplication object it will always be from a NIB so it’s safe.

Thanks a lot
Dave

I see different behaviour. Here’s a test app. No matter what I do, -awakeFromNib is always called first. I tried it both in the AppDelegate, and in the ViewController subclass.

Cheers,

Hi,

A little more on this.

If I uncheck “Is Initial Controller”, then applicationDidFinishLaunching gets calls as expected.

So I put the code back to instantiate it manually and all works as expected.

All the Best
Dave
