I'm trying to use NSCollectionView, and I want to provide visual feedback for the selected item(s) in the collection. The collection view is set to be selectable, and I can find out the selected indexes just by asking it.

Getting from there to the selected NSViews, I get stuck. I thought maybe I could ask the NSCollectionView for its subviews and go from there, but the -subviews array isn't sorted to match the selected indexes (I know it's not documented to be that way but I didn't know what else to try). My NSView subclass can indicate that it's selected, I just can't figure out how to tell the appropriate views that they should do this.

Suppose you have a prototype (NSCollectionViewItem) and it's associated prototypeView (custom view).
Using bindings programmatically, you can bind a property of the prototypeView to the "selected" property of it's prototype. Then use this property to decide when to draw the selection in the prototypeView.
