[Pharo-dev] About Cocoa delegate

Hi In the quest for a better UI framework :), I was re rereading about delegate in Cocoa. A delegating object will delegate certain operations to a delegate object (check the attachment). Now I was wondering why this is not a simple delegation they wrote: The delegating object sends a message only if the delegate implements the method. It makes this discovery by invoking the NSObject method respondsToSelector: in the delegate first. Cocoa Fundamentals Guide (TP40002974 6.0.0)
