[Mono-osx] NIB files in non-executable assemby problem

[Chris Hamons]

I already had that in my window controller.

As a side note, I built a functionally similar example using MonoTouch and 
it works fine (it doesn't need the main executable to reference the nib 
file). Should I create an example app to show the problem?

Make sure your windowcontroller has:

//strongly typed window accessor
public new <WindowClass> Window {
get { return (<WindowClass>)base.Window; }
}

I'm working with monomac and am trying to port some code. I'm unsure if 
this is a problem with my code, with my project build settings, or an 
actual bug. Any help would be appreciated: 

I have two assemblies of interest, one setup as a Library and the other as 
an Executable (that depends on the Library). The code in question is 
roughly: 

Executable Assembly: 

        static void Main (string [] args) 
        { 
            MyApplication.Run(); 
        } 

Library Assembly: 

        (MyApplication) 
        public static void Run() 
        { 
            try 
            { 
                NSApplication.Init (); 
                NSApplication.Main(new string[] {}); 
            } 
            catch (Exception exception) 
            { 
            } 
        } 

    
       (AppDelegate) 
       public override void FinishedLaunching (NSObject notification) 
       { 
             mainWindowController = new MyController(); 
             mainWindowController.Window.MakeKeyAndOrderFront(this);
      } 


        // Call to load from the XIB/NIB file 
        public MyController() : base ("MyController") 
        { 
            Initialize (); 
        } 


The Library Assembly also contains MyController.xib. 


If I run the project as listed, mainWindowController.Window is null (and 
thus I crash) and in some conditions I get a print to Application Output 
about difficulty finding the xib file. 

If I add a reference to MyController.xib in my executable assembly then I 
see my window just fine. 

Is there any way I can make this work without having to add this 
reference? I've tried changing the build setting in MyController.xib in 
the Library assembly to no effect. 

If my example is unclear, I can create a simple project that shows this if 
necessary. 

Thanks, 
--Chris
