I may be overlooking a relevant piece of documentation, but I have a property which is a Set, and I want to use an NSArrayController and an NSTable to manage it. NSArrayController has a "contentSet" key that I bound to my set property without a problem, it displays in my table just fine.

However, I'm trying to get better control over inserts into this set, so I decided to implement the optional accessors. I've done this in the past with arrays using something like this:

-(NSSet*)someProperty

-(void)insertObject:(id)object inSomePropertyAtIndex:(int)index

-(void)removeObjectFromSomePropertyAtIndex:(int)index

-(void)replaceObjectInSomePropertyAtIndex:(int)index withObject: (id)object

However, these don't seem to apply to sets very well due the use of an Index. I can't seem to find alternatives suited to sets either.

Basically I need to either replace, or call methods on the new objects being inserted into the collection when NSArrayController's add: gets called.

Check the documentation for the -mutableSetForKey: method defined by the NSKeyValueCoding informal protocol.

(Curiously, the comments at the declaration of that method in NSKeyValueCoding.h differs in item 4. I don't know which is correct, but thought I'd point it out for completeness.)

Cheers,
Ken
