Re: Custom Bindings clarification

I have been doing some research trying to find out how to add a binding to a NSTextField to allow me to set the background color based on the data being shown in the field. I found this post (http://cocoa.mamasam.com/COCOADEV/2003/12/1/79413.php) in the archive describing that one must subclass and create an IB palette to do what i want. I just want to verify with those in the know if this is what I should be looking at to accomplish my goal, or if I should be looking somewhere else?

If you just want to establish a binding, you can do it programatically:

[textField bind: @"backgroundColor" toObject: $sourceObject
withKeyPath: $backgroundTextColorKey options:nil];


The only reason to create a palette in this case is if you want to be able to make the connection in IB.
