I just had a revelation I though I would share -- thanks to some sample code David Duncan sent me. When IB makes a connection, it calls the outlet's accessor, if one is available. That fact can be used to initialize related items in your code. Ok, maybe everybody but me already knew that, but maybe a few don't know or just hadn't thought about it.

That's a legacy behavior that goes back to the days when NeXT was a bit more strict about encapsulation and data hiding. It used to be that nib instantiation could only set values if accessors were available.
