objective c - viewDidLoad in NSViewController?

Question

On the iPhone I use UIViewController's viewDidLoad to run code to set up the view.

How can I do that with NSViewController?

I've tried loadView but it doesn't work...

Answer 1

As of OS X 10.10, viewDidLoad is available and supported on NSViewController.

Prior to that, you had to go by this nugget in Snow Leopards' release notes:

Advice for People who Are Looking for -viewWillLoad and -viewDidLoad Methods in NSViewController

Even though NSWindowController has -windowWillLoad and -windowDidLoad methods for you to override the NSViewController class introduced in Mac OS 10.5 does not have corresponding -viewWillLoad and -viewDidLoad methods. You can override -[NSViewController loadView] to customize what happens immediately before or immediately after nib loading done by a view controller.
