If your outline's data is being populated from an NSTreeController then the fetch isn't happening until the next iteration of the event loop. If I understand it correctly this is done so that it can present any errors as a sheet on your window.

Try delaying your call to expandItem: in your awakeFromNib.

- (void)expandAllItems {
        [outline expandItem:nil expandChildren:YES];
}

- (void)awakeFromNib {
        /* snip */

[self performSelector:@selector(expandAllItems) withObject:nil afterDelay:0.0];
}

I believe that should work.

I've trolled through the archives looking for help on this, but I can't seem to find anything that quite works. I'm trying to set it up such that an NSOutlineView starts out fully expanded. In the delegate, I have the following code:

- (void)awakeFromNib
{
        [outline expandItem:nil expandChildren:YES];
}

I feel like I'm missing something rather obvious, since the same code works when it's attached to a button. Is there a better place to put it than in awakeFromNib:?

Thank you so much both for your help and your patience.

Peace,

Andy
