Controls on NSPopover not responding

Question

The setup is as follows:

Menubar application with one view controller. The view from the view controller is stored in a NSMenuItem
That view controller has one button we'll call 'Settings button'
When you click Settings button a NSPopover is opened.
The NSPopover has it's content set to SettingsViewController
The SettingsViewController has one button.

The button in SettingsViewController does not animate when clicked. It does not respond to any user action. I don't mean that the 'action' is fired, I mean there is not physical response. It's as if the button is disabled even though I have not disabled it.

AppDelegate.swift:

class AppDelegate: NSObject, NSApplicationDelegate {


    let statusItem = NSStatusBar.systemStatusBar().statusItemWithLength(NSSquareStatusItemLength)
    let direktMain = DirektMainViewController(nibName:"DirektMainViewController", bundle:nil)

    let mainItem = NSMenuItem()
    func applicationDidFinishLaunching(aNotification: NSNotification) {
        // Insert code here to initialize your application
        statusItem.button!.title = "Dkt"
        statusItem.menu = NSMenu()


        mainItem.view = direktMain!.view;
        statusItem.menu!.addItem(mainItem)
    }
}

SettingsViewController.swift:

class SettingsViewController: NSViewController {

    @IBOutlet weak var quittButton: NSButton?

    override func viewDidLoad() {
        super.viewDidLoad()
        // Do view setup here.
        print("SettingsViewController. ViewDidLoad")
    }

    @IBAction func quitAction(sender: AnyObject) {
        print("Time to quit!")   
    }        
}

DirektMainViewController.swift:

class DirektMainViewController: NSViewController {

    @IBOutlet weak var settingsButton: NSButton?

    let popoverSettings = NSPopover()
    let settingsViewController = SettingsViewController(nibName:"SettingsViewController", bundle:nil)

    @IBAction func settingsButtonAct(sender: AnyObject) {
        print("Hey: ", __FUNCTION__)
        if !popoverSettings.shown {
            popoverSettings.showRelativeToRect(settingsButton!.bounds, ofView: settingsButton!, preferredEdge: NSRectEdge.MinY)
        }
    }

    override func viewDidLoad() {
        super.viewDidLoad()
        // Do view setup here.
        print("DirektMainViewController viewDidLoad")
        popoverSettings.contentViewController = settingsViewController
    }
}

Swift Problem

I would say that you have 2 SettingsViewController going around and you set target/action on the incorrect one. Make a new IBOUtlet to settingsviewcontroller and set it to be popover's contentVC. To verify if you have 2 object add a breakpoint in awakeFromNib — Marek H, Oct 04 '15 at 11:48
What I mean to say is that when I click down on the mouse the check box doesn't animate. The target action would work (I believe) if the controls physically responded to my clicks. It *seems* like the controls are disabled but they are not because they aren't greyed out. — user1660675, Oct 04 '15 at 14:47
Could you please update your question. It is not clear what you are asking for (include screenshot and demo project). — Marek H, Oct 04 '15 at 16:35
Made the changes. It's the quit button in the image that does not respond — user1660675, Oct 04 '15 at 18:06
Update: I changed from showing the DirektMainViewController inside of a NSMenuItem to showing it's view inside of a NSPopover and the second NSPopover *does* respond. I do not know why. — user1660675, Oct 04 '15 at 18:34
