If the window with that field is in the controller's nib, which I
think is what you're saying, then nameField will be nil until
awakeFromNib is called. You need to do setup there or later, such as
applicationDidFinishLoading.
Your code looks fine.

Ok. Application is extremely simple:
Window with two buttons: Next and Prev - and one NSTextField (call
it nameField) where my mates names are supposed to be put. This is
View.
There is an array in program where buddies are kept. This is a
Model. It is basically kept in Controller class because of
application simplicity.
There is a Controller that lets program to interact with Model.
I have connected nameField via IBOutlet with Controller, also
buttons are connected via IBAction to couple methods (like, next and
prev). Controller holds iterator (or internal ID of currently viewed
Buddy Name). I store buddies in NSArray.
So, I startup program and see Window with empty NSTextField
(nameField). Once Next button is clicked next Mate Name is shown.
Prev - previous.
the only thing I do not know is how to set value upon Window Show
up. Trying to use:
[nameField setStringValue: [buddiesArray objectAtIndex: 0]]
in Controller init method. It does not produce desired effect. Still
window shows up with empty nameField.
How to change it initially?
Thanks.

You need to elaborate on what's going on with this Controller object.
You really shouldn't need one; NSArrayController should suffice. You
would then bind the NSTextField to the array controller's selection
key.
