(warning:I may not be asking the right question) Here's what I have:
A simple app with a NSTableview, 2 buttons, 2 fields, a controller, and a dictionary controller. The dictionary Controller content is bound to the NSDictionary instance property in the App Controller. The app Controller just inits the NSDictionary from a pfile and saves to the pfile on exit. No other methods in there. (IB > Dictionary Controller > Bindings Inspector > Controller Content > Bind to: "App Controller" Model Key Path:myDict) Tableview Columns are bound to the "key" and "value" objects of the arrangedObjects in the Dictionary Controller (IB > Tableview > Column > Bindings Inspector > Bind to: "Dictionary Controller" Controller Key:arrangedObjects) Model Key Path: key) I start up the app and the table is populated. An "Add" button bound to the add method of the dictionary controller adds values "key" and "value" then "key1" and "value" to the table and so on. A "Remove" button bound to the remove method of the dictionary controller removes records from the table. Here's what I want to do: I want to have control over the new values entered into the dictionary and hence the table. Instead of "key" and "value" being enter as new records into the table, I want the new record to be based on the values in the two fields on the interface. It seemed like the solution was to bind the "Initial Key" and "Initial Value" of the Dictionary Controller to the stringValue of the fields. (IB > Dictionary Controller > Bindings Inspector > Parameters > Inital Key > Bind to: app Controller Model Key Path: self.kTextfield.stringValue) But despite the Model Key Path re-assuredly auto-completing to: "self.kTextfield.stringValue", it does not work. The values entered in the table are blank. Is there a way to bind initial key and initial value to textfield values using the Bindings Inspector? If not, how can I add an arbitrary new record into the dictionary?
