Hi
I wrote a small folder scanning application to perform "deep watches"
on changes to specified folders and their subfolders on a Windows
server and wanted to present a simple "Run Log" like window so admins
could see what the app is doing and spot any potential errors.
I created a window, added an NSTextView, unchecked all options in the
"attributes" panel except "selectable" and "uses find panel", created
the following accessors to a mutable string property called "log" in
my AppController class
- (NSString *) log
{
return log;
}
- (void) setLog:(NSString *) inString
{
[log appendString: [inString stringByAppendingString: @"\n"]];
}
After that, I opened the bindings pane for the NSTextView, and set
the following "value" bindings
Bind to: AppController
Controller key: <grayed out>
Model key path: log
Unchecked all checkboxes except
Continuously updates value
Raises for non applicable keys
When I run the app, it runs fins and the Xcode run log shows that
it's doing it's thing but nothing appears in the text view.
When that didn't work, tried adding an NSObjectController, click-
dragged a connection from the NSObjectController to the instantiated
AppController and clicked "connect" on the "content field. Next, I
defined a field called "log" in the controller, and bound the
NSTextView value to that but that didn't work either.
Anyone see what I'm doing wrong?
Thanks for any help
Ken
