   Hi

   I am defining calls to my global data manager as:

   #define GDMANAGER [GlobalDataManager sharedGlobalDataManager]

   That works nice except that CodeSense doesn't see that how it should. So if I put e.g. "GDMANAGER." and start typing some property, CodeSense doesn't give me the suggestions. It does give suggestions if I use it like this "[GDMANAGER someProperty]" but I am preferring the dot notation. CodeSense also gives right suggestions if I use "[GlobalDataManager sharedGlobalDataManager]." and then start typing.

   So does anybody know how to force xCode to recognize that definition GDMANAGER as what it is, before runtime, so it gives me correct suggestions and word completions?

   Thanks

   A guess:

   @define GDMANAGER2 (GlobalDataManager) GDMANAGER

   what does codesense see GDMANAGER2 as? Can you use properties with it?

   Another idea. Make a global GlobalDataManager variable gGDManager - set it to [GlobalDataManager sharedGlobalDataManager] as one of the first things you do in your -applicationDidFinishLaunching:, codesense should see it, and it will be a little bit faster bc you avoid all those extra method calls. Many will consider it bad programming style, but it doesnt seem to be that different than using a singleton to me. Good luck!

   Looks like a good suggestion, though I doubt first one with define will work, because I tried with casting in the first place. But second method looks promising...

   I'll try it tonight and tell you what happened

   Btw, seems that notification for favorites doesn't work...

   @Codemattic

   As I thought, first option didn't work, but second one was very good idea and it worked flawlessly. Thank you :)

   @Clain

   Thanks for clearing that for me :)
