Answer 1

So this may be a kludge, but eventually I got it. In this case the appDelegate is waking up NIB's and subsequently causes the 'viewDidLoad' method to be called in the Object that manages the NIB.
The problem was how to get 2 objects that had each been woken by the appDelegate to be aware of each other and be able to use methods in the other.
In the appDelegate
@class AViewControllerObject;
@class A2ndVCObject;
@interface AppDelegate
AViewControllerObject * aViewControllerObject
A2ndVCObject * a2ndVCObject;
@property (
@property (
@end
@implementation AppDelegate
@synthesize aViewControllerObject;
@synthesize a2ndVCObject;
//instantiate the NIB's and place in the 'controllers' array
aViewControllerObject = [[AViewControllerObject alloc]
initWithNibName:@"aViewControllerNIB" bundle: nil];
[controllers addObject: aViewControllerObject];
a2ndVCObject = [[A2ndVCObject alloc]
initWithNibName:@"a2ndVCNIB" bundle: nil];
[controllers addObject: a2ndVCObject];
So to make the 1st ViewControl Object aware of the 2nd viewControl Object, make the following method call from the appDelegate:
[aViewControllerObject assignA2ndVCPointer: (A2ndVCObject *) a2ndVCObject];
....and in aViewControllerObject:
@class A2ndVCObject;
@interface AViewControllerObject
A2ndVCObject * a2ndVCObject;
@property (
@end
@implementation AViewControllerObject
@synthesize a2ndVCObject;
- (void) assignA2ndVCPointer: (A2ndVCObject *) pointer{
self.a2ndVCObject = pointer;
So this may seem bogus to 'old hands' but its the only way I could figure it out.
If anyone has a better way, I'd love to hear it!!
