I searched the archives and found a few relevant threads, but I'm still lost....

I have a window with a table view that contains checkboxes in a column. I can get the checkboxes to display, but I'm at a loss as to how to set/get the checkboxes in relation to the data source (in my case, it's a postgresql database that I connect to with my own framework). I've worked through some of the code snippets found in my search but all were incomplete. Apple's documentation wasn't much help either.
So I'm just looking for pointers in the right direction, or code snippets, that pertain to using checkboxes in tableviews with an external data source.
Many TIA.



Here is what I did.

Like you I set the column to be checkboxes in Interface Builder. Then in the code I customized the checkbox with the following code.

NSButtonCell *prototypeCell = [[[NSButtonCell alloc] initTextCell:@""] autorelease];
[prototypeCell setEditable: YES];
[prototypeCell setButtonType:NSSwitchButton];
[prototypeCell setImagePosition:NSImageOnly];
[prototypeCell setControlSize:NSSmallControlSize];
[prototypeCell setTarget:self];
[prototypeCell setAction:@selector(uploadFileCheckBox:)];
[[enclosureTable tableColumnWithIdentifier:@"UploadCheckBox"] setDataCell:prototypeCell];


Then I have this module

- (void)uploadFileCheckBox:(id)sender
{
int oldValue = ![[[itemsWithEnclosuresCheckbox objectAtIndex: [enclosureTable selectedRow]] objectAtIndex:0] intValue];
[[itemsWithEnclosuresCheckbox objectAtIndex:[enclosureTable selectedRow]] replaceObjectAtIndex:0 withObject:[NSNumber numberWithInt:oldValue]];
}


And in my tableView delegate I have

- (id)tableView:(NSTableView *)aTable objectValueForTableColumn: (NSTableColumn *)aTableColumn row:(int)rowIndex
{
NSString *identifier = [aTableColumn identifier];


if ([identifier isEqualToString:@"UploadCheckBox"])
{
return [[itemsWithEnclosuresCheckbox objectAtIndex:rowIndex] objectAtIndex:0];
}
}


This I was I figured out and works (the best part) for other peoples code and messages I found. This might not be the very best, but it does work for me.
