Re: [actionstep-core] subclassing NSMenu issues

hi
yes I thought about that, this leads me to this question
can I call super.init() every time I subclass for safety ? How would I know
what are the necessary steps when subclassing ? For example I subclassed
NSButton and I think I had to override cellClass and setCellClass, is that
right ? (Or could I just have called setClass on my custom button ? ) But Is
there a way to know for sure what needs to be overwritten to make sure the
child class works ?
I know that in the appKit API reference there are infos about that, is it
where I should always look ?
sorry for all the questions but I really like ActionStep and would really
like to understand better :)
