Detailed Description

The GDApplicationController is an application controller for non-document based cocoa applications.

This class is also the NSWindowDelegate and NSApplicationDelegate

Member Function Documentation

- (void) initApplication

A hook you should use to initialize your applications' "gd" properties, and call [self lazyInitWithModel:mainMenu:modals:operations:windows:drawers:views:sounds:].

You should call [super lazyInitWithModel(...)] as the last call.

This method calls the other initializers:

 [self initModel];
 [self initControllers];
 [self initWindows];
 [self initViews];
 [self startApplication];

- (void) initModel

A hook to initialize a GDModel.

This is a good place to initialize A GDApplicationInfo instance and save it on the model.

- (void) initViews

A hook to initialize any views - this is specifically for initializing views that don't have "gd" references from nib creation time.

IE: calling lazyInitWithGD:

Designated lazy initializer to provide values for all needed properties.

nil's are ok.

All parameters are sent [obj performSelector:@selector(lazyInitWithGD:) withObject:self]

All parameters are retained, so please send in autoreleased instances.

If you send in any objects that are already properties (from IBOutlets) they are not retained, but they are sent the designated lazy initializer.

Parameters:

	_model	A GDModel or subclassed instance.
	_modals	A GDModalController or subclassed instance.
	_operations	A GDOperationsController or subclassed instance.
	_windows	A GDWindowController or subclassed instance.
	_drawers	A GDDrawerController or subclassed instance.
	_views	A GDViewController or subclassed instance.
	_sounds	A GDSoundController or subclassed instance.
	_contexts	A GDContextMenuController or subclassed instance.
