Cocoa: NSMatrix, change number of cells, can't target new ones

[Simon Slavin]

I have an NSMatrix of buttons. They work fine and the target
is called when I click on one of them. I've set it up as just

- (IBAction)itemClick:(id)sender

and my routine get called fine.

Now I need to change the number of cells in the matrix. In
fact I change the number several times, sometimes more, some-
times less. There is a maximum possible number but it's in the
hundreds. Changing the number works fine: the new cells are
drawn correctly and they highlight when I click on them.

Naturally, when I add new cells I also want them to call the
target routine. I tried to do this by using the first cell
to find its target, then setting the target of the other cells
to the same thing:

currentCell = [theMatrix cellAtRow:0 column:0];
theTarget = [currentCell target];
[...]
iterate through the cells:
[currentCell setTarget:theTarget];
end iteration

I know my iteration works because it sets other properties at
the same time. But none of the setTargets works. The top
few cells still call the routine but none of the new ones does.

What am I doing wrong ?

you have to set the action too:

[currentCell setAction:@selector(itemClick:)];

Thank you thank you thank you. Somehow I didn't think of that.
I had target and action confused. That fixed it perfectly.
