Sorry to reply to my own post - I sent this without adding another
important point. Using the master/detail view rather than the
programmatic approach makes it very easy to do with Bindings. I don't
believe it's possible to use a pure Bindings solution in this case.
If you use NSMutableDictionary to represent each house, rather than
use custom objects, you could theoretically build this without
writing a single line of code. Of course your mileage may vary ...

This doesn't strike me as a very good (Cocoa-like) solution to
your problem. You should really consider a master/detail view
approach (such as a table of all the 'houses' as the master view
and ONE box as the 'detail' view, which shows the details of the
*selected* house in the table).
If you really want to use one box for each house, you'll have to
do this in code (ie, IB won't really work for this problem). If you
want a scrollable list of boxes (having like 10 houses may take too
much screen space), you'd create a scroll view then
programmatically add the boxes to it as subviews. You'd also have
to add the buttons and controls for each box. You can see how this
quickly becomes a little more complex than necessary. Not to
mention it's not very Cocoa-like (I know I said that above, but
it's important enough to repeat).

I recently learned Cocoa and now I'm trying to do my first app. The
problem is that I'm not quite sure how to do some stuff. I'm
trying to
do an application that will allow the user to keep track of rents
that
are paid to them from different properties they own. They will set up
list of properties through the preferences window, and each one will
be a "House" object which will be stored in an array. However, I want
the main window of my application to display an NSBox for each one of
the properties the user owns with information about each of them. My
question is how can I create an NSBox in my main window for each of
the elements in the array and how can I add some NSButtons inside the
NSBoxes? Is there a way to do it with Interface Builder?
Thanks in advance,
Pablo
