hey thanks, that is exactly what i was looking for, i have got it working now (nearly).
so, a related question. i have an outline view and when searches are performed a new item is added to the outline view with a badge that displays the number of search results. the outline view is bound to a tree controller working in entity mode of type SidebarItem. when search results arrive, i get the relevant SidebarItem from the managedObjectContext and update the count property with the new amount. the problem is that this does not update the outline view. if i cause the view to be redrawn, the badge updates with the correct value. how can i get it to do this automatically? i tried sending a notification when the count was updated, and then searching for the item in the outlineview when the notification is received, but [outlineView rowForItem: ] always returns -1, so i cannot redraw the updated row. what am i doing wrong?
