Is it possible to insert NSObjectController to responder chain?

Question

I've created an instance of NSObjectController (MenuObject on the image below) and method(test5:) for item's action there.

NSMenuItem is gray when I create a connection to First responder. And it works fine when I create a IBAction directly.

I think it's because my NSObjectController(MenuObject) doesn't part of responder chain. No one can responds to selector and that's why item is grey. But how to fix it?

Thanks.

NSObjectController is a data-flow controller. Putting it in the responder chain does not make real sense.

However, you should read about the responder-chain for action messages. Doing so, you will prefer to put the action method into a window controller.
