Hi, Laurent. I realize this is quite old, but I have been wrestling with NSRuleEditor myself for a while. The main difference between NSTableView and NSRuleEditor is that NSRuleEditor is more accurately understood as a tree or network whereas NSTableView is a multi-dimensional array, [rows][columns]. As you change the selections in the NSRuleEditor it re-queries the delegate for the display values for the children. When I diagramed the architecture of my NSRuleEditor as a tree/network, it made a lot more sense. Start with the root as nil. Hope this helps.
