Actually that is not what I want to do. I have an NSView with a checkbox in it. I don't care about getting notified when someone clicks the checkbox because this is in a plugin with a defined architecture in which one method in my class gets called repeatedly by the system regardless of what I do to the code.

So each time I get called, I simply want to inspect the state of the check box as being on or off. I have to do it in the method that gets called by the system, not in my own message handler. It seems absurd to me that I have to go through so many machinations just to get one value from one control.

I am working with a copy of another plugin which has the same code but NSTextEdit fields instead of an NSButton checkbox. I already have code in the first plugin that gets the text of the edit fields. Now in the second plugin I want to reuse the same code but just access the value of the checkbox instead of the text of the edit fields.

Thanks,

Mike

When I try to connected an NSButton like a switch to my object in IB, no "delegate" connection shows up in the inspector window when I control-drag to my object's instance.

Do only some types of controls (NSTextField) have delegates and other (like NSButton) not?

Yes.

It sounds like you want to perform an action when the checkbox is checked/unchecked. For that, look into creating an action outlet. Or, if the checkbox's value simply needs to update some model's attribute, look into using a binding.
