NSSplitViewController in OSX 10.10 using Xcode 6

问题:

According to documentation on NSSplitViewControllers, the associated NSSplitView uses the NSSplitViewController as its delegate. Specifically in the documentation, "The split view controller serves as the delegate of its split view object (the object that manages the dividers). If you override a split view delegate method, your override must call super."

I have implemented an NSSplitViewController in interface builder and gave it a class. However, none of the splitView delegates are ever invoked. Additionally, if I just do something like spit who the splitView delegate [ NSLog (@"%@", self.splitView.delegate); ], the result is "null". If, however, I assign the delegate either in IB itself (by dragging the delegate outlet to the NSSplitViewController) or inside code ([self.splitView setDelegate:self];), I get the following error:

An uncaught exception was raised
SplitViewController's splitView is unable to use autolayout because the SplitViewController overrides an incompatible delegate method.

I'm completely flummoxed.

回答1:

If the delegate of a split view implements one of the following methods, it becomes incompatible with auto layout.

splitView:constrainMinCoordinate:ofSubviewAt:
splitView:constrainMaxCoordinate:ofSubviewAt:
splitView:resizeSubviewsWithOldSize:
splitView:shouldAdjustSizeOfSubview:

And because NSSplitViewController requires the use of auto layout (mentioned in the documentation), these methods are incompatible with NSSplitViewController and shouldn't be implemented in a subclass.
