Well I assume you're not using a data source since you're using bindings. The column bindings are, strictly speaking, used only to provide content for the column's cell when drawing the rows of the table. The table itself, not its columns, manages its selection, so in order to coordinate this selection with the controller its own selection bindings need to be bound to the controller supplying its data. Binding the table's content binding will take care of these bindings automatically. If it can figure it out, the table view will also deduce the object and keypath to use for its content binding from the columns' value bindings. So you would normally have something like this: column1.value -> [myController].arrangedObjects.title column2.value -> [myController].arrangedObjects.artist Then the framework will automatically fill in the following bindings: tableView.content -> [myController].arrangedObjects tableView.selectionIndexes -> [myController].selectionIndexes tableView.sortDescriptors -> [myController].sortDescriptors You can manually specify these three bindings, which is particularly useful if you need the selection in the table view to be bound to an array controller completely different from the one(s) providing data for your column(s). Also, I see that the NSTableView bindings document has been updated with more information on to automagic bindings: http://developer.apple.com/documentation/Cocoa/Reference/CocoaBindingsRef/BindingsText/NSTableView.html Thank you to whoever took care of that one. --Kyle Sluder _______________________________________________ Cocoa-dev mailing list (Cocoa-dev@lists.apple.com) Please do not post admin requests or moderator comments to the list.
