I have a NSTable bound to an object and have written delegate

being called/fired. I have put breakpoints and NSLog statements and
it just isn't happening. Anything possible causes come to mind? Do I
need to do anything more than the nib binding and define the method
in the object.m to get this called?
Do you mean the "tableView:willDisplayCell:forTableColumn:row:"
delegate method? If so, it's worthwhile being that precise in your
question so that we know that (for example) you didn't just use the
wrong method name by accident. (That actually happens a lot.)
In your case:
1. 'numberOfRowsInTableView:' and
'tableView:objectValueForTableColumn:row:' are *data source* methods,
not delegate methods. (Well, the data source is a kind of delegate,
but not *the* delegate of the table view.)
2. 'tableView:willDisplayCell:forTableColumn:row:' is a delegate
method (that is, a method of *the* delegate). Most likely, the reason
it's not being called is that you haven't specified the table view's
delegate. If you look at the table view in IB, you'll see that there's
a data source connection and a delegate connection. Make sure each is
connected to the appropriate object.
3. It sounds like you don't really have a binding from the table view,
but rather a connection from the table view to its data source.
(Bindings are something else altogether.)
