Message-ID: Date: 3 Apr 91 16:34:51 GMT Organization: Swarthmore College, PA, USA Lines: 26 Anybody used names in interface builder? I'm using named objects to implement a help system. Having the naming ability is cool in a big way, but there's one thing that IB does that really annoys me . . . Create a button. Change it's name from "Button" to "Info Button". Set up your help system key a help file to your nice name. Change the label on the button to "Info", since you realized you left it called "Button" and that's probably not as informative as you want it to be. Now watch your help system break because the buttons name is automatically changed to "Info". Aaargh!!! Did I miss a preferences setting in IB or something (I hope), or will I have to convince next that if your buttons are not named "Button" or "Button1" or "ButtonN", you really did change the name with a purpose. What the heck happened to the Next programmers mailing lists? There was all this argument about rtf newsreaders. A NextMail programmers mailing list would be nice to get on.
