I am starting to experiment with using Core Data and Cocoa for
application development on Mac OS X. I have limited experience with
this framework, but have worked with a number of other programming
environments (I have a masters' degree in Computer Science), though
I'm hoping the answer to this proves somewhat simple.
I have a pair of entities set up in a Core Data model (among others,
but these are the two of interest at the moment), and I have one-to-
many relationships in both directions (set to inverse), so that they
act as a many-to-many relationship.
Let's call the entities A and B, with the relationship in A called
"b" and the relationship in B called "a".
I am trying to set up the interface using Interface Builder.
Right now, I have an NSTable for A, showing all of its attributes
(except relationships). I have add/remove buttons, and that is all
working.
I have another tab in the window with an NSTable set up for B, and
its two attributes.
What I want to do (ideally) is add a new NSTable on the same tab as
the one for A, which will list all of the "rows" from B, with
checkboxes next to them, such that rows in B related to the selected
row from the table for A will be checked, and they will be unchecked
otherwise (with the checkboxes clickable to change the relationships).
The ultimate goal is to provide a simple interface for relating
members of A to members of B, where some row from A can have multiple
rows from B related to it and vice versa.
Does anyone know of an example somewhere that I could study on how to
do this?
Even better, could someone give me at least a sketchy outline with
the steps to set this up (or some similarly functional interface)?
Thank you!
