mmalcolm crawford, listen. I am not new to programming, but am
very new to ObjC and Cocoa. All I asked was if anyone knew of an
example on how to use NSTableView with NSArrayController. I did not

Google.

I was posting here with the hope that someone knew of a
(example only) "beginners guide to NSTableView" or something :) I
wanst posting hoping someone would write code for me, or give me a
detailed example in a post. I just wanted to be pointed to the
right direction.
Matt,
There are countless random code fragments on the net which make use
of NSTableView but given that you are new to Cocoa I suggest that a
good (and often overlooked) starting point is the somewhat obscurely
named "User Expreience" section of the Cocoa documentation. Within
this there is a chapter on Table Views [1] which includes sections
such as Using a Table Data Source, Using a Table Delegate and Using
Drag and Drop in Tables.
On a more general note, the Apple _API_ documentation is largely
devoid of any conceptual overviews of the topics; all this
information is separated out into other parts of the documentation.
If you are lucky then classes you are looking at will have links in
the "Programming Topics" section near the top but for the most part I
find the Cocoa documentation is decidedly lacking any conceptual
index. As a result if you are new to this it can be very hard to
find what you are looking for. Of course once you're read it all at
least once (like mmalc has) then you'll just know where to find
things but I certainly sympathise with your difficulty in getting
started.
Cheers,
Nicko
