I created a Obj C++ Cocoa class in Project Builder (not a subclass in IB). Now I'm trying to link it together in code. My class is called TPKG2Class.

Heres the .h file for TPKG2Class:

<font color = brown>// TPKG2Class.h</font>

#import &lt;PreferencePanes/NSPreferencePane.h&gt;


@interface TPKG2Class : NSObject {

}
- (void)TPKG2Name;
@end
</font>[/code]

Heres the .m for TPKG2Class:

<BLOCKQUOTE><font size="1"face="Geneva, Verdana, Arial">code:</font><HR><pre><font size=1 face=courier>
<font color = brown>//</font>
<font color = brown>// TPKG2Class.m</font>

#import <font color = red>"TPKG2Class.h"</font>


@implementation TPKG2Class
- (void)TPKG2Name
{
NSLog(<font color = orange>@"hi"</font>);
}
@end
</font>[/code]

I implement it in my main class with #import "interfacecontroller.h". When I try to call "[TPKG2Class TPKG2Name];" PB gives me two warnings:

interfacecontroller.m:46: warning: cannot find class (factory) method.
interfacecontroller.m:46: warning: return type for `TPKG2Name' defaults to id

Why? As far as I can tell, everything is right... :sigh:

BTW... How do I change the default software company name for the header at the top of the code? thanks.

Is the checkbox next to the file in the project file listing checked? Otherwise it wouldn't be included in the compiled app.

Try cleaning the project and building again.

Nope, Project Builder is not the problem.

TPKG2Name is an instance method, yet in code you're calling it like a class method. The error message is correct; the compiler can not find the class method named "TPKG2Name".

If you change your declaration (and implementation) to be

+ (void)TPKG2Name;

then it will work (note the + instead of a -).

Alternatively, you could call it as an instance method:

TPKG2Class *anInstance;
anInstance = [[[TPKG2Class alloc] init] autorelease];
[anInstance TPKG2Name];
