Hi all, I swear this was discussed, but can't find it in the archives...
It seems Interface Builder won't let me connect the 'formatter' outlet of a textfield that's within a view-based tableview to a top-level formatter that lives in the same nib. It complains: "Unsupported Configuration: Outlet 'formatter' of 'Text Field Cell - Table View Cell' is connected to 'Date Formatter,' an invalid destination (Objects inside view based table views may only be connected to the table view's delegate.)" I often have top-level formatters in my nibs, ex: a number formatter configured to show exactly 2 decimal places. Then I have a bunch of textfields (some in tables, some not) that connect to it. How can I do this with view-based tables? It seems I could: 1) drag a formatter in IB to each table cell. Downsides: I risk their settings becoming out-of-sync with each other. Also, formatters are supposedly expensive to create. 2) implement the tableView:viewForTableColumn:row: delegate method to set the formatter. Downsides: need to write code; most of my tables use bindings and I often don't have a delegate; need to assign column identifiers and switch on them. Is there no better way?
