I agree. This "set<OutletName>" thing needs much more emphasis in Apple's
docs and in the various Cocoa books.

The "thing" in this case is Key-value Coding.

The Key-Value Coding conceptual material for Panther is much more complete than it was. It covers all the new features, and clarifies many of the old ones. It discusses the naming conventions, and how they're found.

Anytime that the system needs to 'set' or 'get' a value, KVC is likely in play.

In the past (pre Panther) KVC really was an advanced feature that you could make use of if you wanted to. In most cases outside of WebObjects, it was not very mainstream.


However, with the new Cocoa Controller classes and Key-Value Binding, you'll find that it is going to become much more prevalent, and highlighted more.

*** FEEDBACK ***

If you see places in the Apple docs that KVC needs to be mentioned, and it hasn't been, please either file a bug (be specific about the doc, and make it clear that it is a Documentation (Developer) issue. And feel free to send me the bug number.

Tech Pubs is committed to making the Cocoa documentation as helpful to _you_ as possible.
