As mentioned in an earlier message, I'm looking to use Cocoa Bindings
to simplify the task of creating sample data for app prototypes. The
tutorials recommended here were excellent but I'm having trouble
adapting them. What I want to do is use the Shared Defaults Controller
to handle the sample data, presumably speeding things up and allowing
me to edit the plist file to change the data. But I'm having some
issues. Here's what I've done, starting with a Cocoa Application
template project:
(1) Created an NSArrayController (named it TableController). Bound its
contentArray to Shared User Defaults with Controller Key values and
Model Key Path tableData.
(2) Dragged a NSTableView into the default window. Left it with two
columns (labeled Left and Right). Bound its Left column's value to
TableController, Controller Key arrangedObjects, Model Key Path "left".
Did the same for the Right column with Model Key Path "right".
(3) Dragged a button into the default window. Control-dragged from it
to TableController and selected the add: action.
I've left everything else as is. What happens is that the Add button
works just fine and adds a blank row. I can then put a cell into edit
mode and type some text, but when I try to finish editing I get an
error in the Run Log: "[NSCFDictionary setObject:forKey:]: mutating
method sent to immutable object" A look at the plist file in
~/Preferences reveals that while a Dictionary item has been added to
the array, no key/value items have been added to that dictionary. If I
manually add items with "left" and "right" keys they show up in the app
as they should but still can't be edited. Any thoughts?
Thanks,
--Dave
