What exactly is a "factory object id?" For example, if I have MyCell, a subclass of Cell, which I want to be the cell class of a matrix, what do I give to -setCellClass: ? In 0.9, I could just say [aMatrix setCellClass:MyCell] but in 1.0 that gives me a compile-time error: "parse error prior to MyCell" (may not be the exact wording). Do you need to do something like [aMatrix setCellClass:[self findClass:"MyCell"]] or is there a more natural way to do this? Jacob -- Jacob Gore Jacob@Gore.Com boulder!gore!jacob

In 0.9, factory ids used to be global variables, so you could do the above. In 1.0, they aren't. You need to use [Factory class] instead of just Factory: [aMatrix setClassCell:[MyCell class]]; Ali Ozer, NeXT Developer Support aozer@NeXT.com
