I mean a "Cocoa bindings" kind of binding. e.g. the "target" binding of the menu item is bound in IB. The action field of the binding is set to "print:". I'm not talking about the traditional way of connecting a button/menu item to another object through the basic control drag from source to target and select the action method and I'm not talking about setting it in code. I know how to do both of those and they work, what I'm going for is a dynamic target.


I think I wasn't recalling correctly--my issue had to do with an NSButton, and binding didn't work for me. There is no reason to suspect that the binding wouldn't work as advertised.

Anyway, I suppose you have verified that the correct object is being set when the binding is established (and/or when the bound property changes)?

Yeah, I ended up reverting to just setting the target of the menu item in code when certain notifications happened (NSWindowDidBecomeKey and NSOutlineViewSelectionDidChange). This works, but isn't quite as simple as a bindings based solution should have been. Planning to file a bug on this.


Thanks for the thoughts.
