Doesn't display anything means it doesn't show up anything from the array. I'll think about it. I just want to have a pre-determined list of items but I'd like the user to have the ability to add new items. That's why I chose the NSComboBox but I see one problem with it. If the user adds one item, that's only a string and it won't be a dictionary. I might have to use a datasource instead.
