This is tangentially related to my previous message about
NSSearchField and Apple's Core Data Tutorial, but it concerns my
learning experience with Cocoa more than being directly relevant to
that thread.
In talking off-list with another list member, he mentioned that I
needed to bind the Selection Indexes and Sort Descriptors of one of my
NSTableViews to the same for the controller for that table view, in
this case MessagesController. That's fine and I appreciate the tip.
(I'm not entirely sure I understand why, but at least I know I need to
investigate this aspect of bindings more.)
What I find frustrating is that when I have a problem with Cocoa, it
seems to frequently be because there was something I was supposed to
do that was not mentioned in whatever tutorial I'm working with,
whether online (including from Apple!) or in my text (Hillegass, 2ed).
Is there some way that I should have known to bind up the Selection
Indexes and Sort Descriptors? These kinds of "you're supposed to..."
things are frustrating and make learning Cocoa seem more like a linear
progression than a geometric one for me.
If anyone can offer tips about how to overcome this aspect of my
experience I would greatly appreciate it.
Thanks as always,
Jamie
