Thanks for the tip. Once I read it, it seemed like the logical solution. 
However, it doesn't seem to make any difference. All I could find in the 
documentation about that checkbox/attribute was:

NSRaisesForNotApplicableKeysBindingOption
An NSNumber object containing a Boolean value that specifies if an exception is 
raised when the binding is bound to a key that is not applicable—for example 
when an object is not key-value coding compliant for a key.


To recall, I have something like this:

@interface TopClass : NSObject
{
        // some ivars
}

// some accessors

@end

@interface SubClass : TopClass
{
        NSString* subValue;
}

- (NSString) subValue;

@end

I have an NSTreeController that contains a list of TopClass and SubClass items. 
The user selects an item in that list.

I have a text field in Interface Builder whose value is bound (ie via bindings) 
to the subValue accessor, ie: NSTreeController -> selection.subValue

Obviously, the subValue accessor is only valid if the currently selected item 
is a SubClass object. If the user selects a TopClass item, it throws an 
exception. How can I prevent this?

Thanks,
