I've created a new IB nib, and hooked up an outley ("outletThatWorks")t; however, when I added a new outlet (myButton), I can't connect to it (control drag from my controller to an NSTableView object)--I get an error "myButton must be of type NSButton") What does that mean, as "myButton" IS an NSButton type?

@interface myController : NSWindowController {
    @private
    IBOutlet NSButton*            outletThatWorks;    // checkbox
    IBOutlet NSButton*            myButton;            // NSTableView

}

You've declared myButton to be an NSButton, so when you try to tell IB to connect it to something that's *not* an NSButton, it naturally complains. An NSTableView is not a kind of NSButton.


You need to declare the outlet appropriately for the type of object you want it to connect to, and you should probably name it appropriately while you're at it, something like this:

    IBOutlet NSTableView*            myTable;            // NSTableView
