You usually just connect all of them as outlets to the same controller, and switch all of them on or off at the target function.

I know it's lame-o glue code, but it's something that can be done in a few lines of easy to write code.

That, or waiting for Panther (*wink* *wink* *nudge* *nudge*). I suggest for enlightment http://0x2a.no-ip.org/mt/archives/000008.html (which, BTW, is #9 Google search result when searching 'Model View Controller'. Go Dempsey!).

My application has a number of boolean flags that can be set in
various ways and from various sources (menu items, check boxes,
simulations, network events, hopefully apple events).

I would like to have a mechanism where I only have one boolean
object, and when it changes any and all views that depend on
that object change at once.

What is the best way to do this with existing AppKit
functionality? For example, is there a way to get a NSMenuItem
and NSCheckbox to share the same state?

The data source model is great for complex components, but what
do you do with simple components like check boxes and radio
buttons? I'd rather not write custom controllers for every
single action...
