Hi Eric, I can tell you exactly what your problem is :)

You have an NSObjectController to which you are binding your custom view and the color well. That is fine and works as it should.

When you set the color using the well, this sets the color of the NSObjectController and the view then picks up that this has happened.

However, when you set the color using one of the buttons, you are not setting the color of the NSObjectController like you should. Instead you are setting the color of the view directly. By doing this, the color well never "sees" this change.

So, simply change your calls to something like:

[colorController setValue: [NSColor redColor] forKey: @"backgroundColor"];

Mike.

Hello, I have a simple bindings problem I'm hoping somebody can help
me with. I have condensed down my problem into a simple example
program which I have posted here:
http://www.geocities.com/ewing2121/NotificationProblem.tgz

Basically, I have a custom view object with a property I want to bind.
In this case, it is color. I wish to bind my color property to the
NSColorWell widget.

My problem is that the bindings seem to only work in one direction. I
can change the color wheel from the NSColorWell and my view object
changes appropriately. But if I set my view object's color directly,
the NSColorWell does not seem to get the notification that I changed
the view color so it does update itself.

I don't know what I'm supposed to do to 'trigger' this notification.
Can some body tell me where I'm going wrong?

The example program has a custom view that paints the entire view the
specified color. If you click on the NSColorWell, you should be able
to change the view colors. If you click on the buttons labeled with
different color names, they change the view color, but the NSColorWell
will not change to keep in sync.

Thanks,
Eric
