[Mono-osx] MonoMac bindings trouble

[Raymond Reggers]

Ok I created the bindings by running this command on the file below:

mono bmac.exe ${ProjectDir}/Bindings/Vespertilio.Presentation.cs -r System.Drawing

using MonoMac.Foundation;
using MonoMac.AppKit;

namespace Vespertilio.Presentation {
	
	[BaseType(typeof(NSView))]
	interface TextView
	{
		
	}
}

And dlopen() is called before anything else, first line in Main(). The library gets loaded because I can see my custom view being displayed.

For example, I can do this (MainWindowController.cs):

public override void WindowDidLoad ()
{
	base.WindowDidLoad();
	Vespertilio.Presentation.TextView t = new Vespertilio.Presentation.TextView();
	this.root.AddSubView(t);
	t.setFrame(...
}

In this case root is simply a NSView with an outlet to MainWindowController.root.

BUT if I use interfacebuilder (well XCode now) and replace NSView with TextView and bind an outlet to MainWindowController.root. Then I get an InvalidCastException. If I remove the outlet, everything works and my custom view also shows. 

Hope this helps.

Thanks!
