I've got a Core Data app, using the NSPersistantDocument stuff. There are three basic entity types. There is one, which I'll call MainEntity, which has optional to-many relationships with the other two, which I'll call A and B. In my main window, I have a TableView, which has its columns

I've got a 10.5 app, which has a bunch of NSTableViews. I'd like to allow the user to choose which columns appear in the tableviews, using a popup contextual menu. so, that should be a simple matter of defining the NSTableColumns, establishing their bindings, making a menu of the table vi

nd use the -tag method to identify the instance when you need to do so. That's perfect. Thanks! It's also possible to set the tag in IB (it's on the Attributes Inspector palette, in the "control" tab). Since I'm not creating any dynamically, I can do that.
