It depends. Since you have provided neither the exact bindings settings you're using nor the code you used to establish the binding manually, it's impossible to say. > Further, with the NSView, is there a way of knowing which of the objects > that are contained in the NSCollectionView is being drawn and further being > able to get the data for that specific object? Not to sound like a broken record, but, have you *read* the documentation? Sure, the NSCollectionView / NSCollectionViewItem mechanism is a bit more challenging than your standard button or table, but not by much and it is fairly well-documented. See NSCollectionViewItem's documentation, paying particular attention to the phrase "represented object". Regarding when it's drawing, the answer is 'when a view's -drawRect: is called'. If you don't have an NSView subclass that does its own drawing, however, the time it's drawn is none of your business by design. Frankly, if you're relying on that for anything other than drawing within the custom view, you're doing it wrong. Very very wrong. This all boils down to one vital question: What (as in 'the end result') are you trying to accomplish, *exactly*? ... okay, two. TWO vital questions. The second being: What *exactly* have you tried (be specific about code, bindings parameters, etc.)? -- I.S. _______________________________________________ Cocoa-dev mailing list (Cocoa-dev@lists.apple.com) Please do not post admin requests or moderator comments to the list.
