Bindings & Checkbox in NSTableView

Hi,

I want to bind the value of a checkbox in a column of a NSTableView to a custom object managed by an NSArrayController. I have the NSArrayController setup to manage a class I've created using Obj-C 2.0 properties, and added keys in the IB inspector for the NSArrayController to match the properties of my class. I've bound the value of the columns in my NSTableView to my array controller using arrangedObjects.keyName. The column containing checkboxes is bound to a property that is backed by a NSNumber instance.

Everything is working fine except clicking on the checkboxes doesn't change the value in my custom class, and my checkboxes are always "on" since by default the property they are bound to is initialized with [NSNumber numberWithBool:YES]. Other columns that use the default text cell and that are bound to NSString properties work fine.


My custom class is defined as:

@interface Foo : NSObject {
    NSNumber *active;
    NSString *description;
}
@property(copy) NSNumber *active;
@property(copy) NSString *description;
@end

@implementation Foo
@synthesize active, description;

- (id)init
{
    if (self = [super init]) {
        self.active = [NSNumber numberWithBool:YES];
        self.description = @"Untitled";
    }

    return self;
}
@end

I set the table column to use a checkbox using:

    NSButtonCell *cell = [[NSButtonCell alloc] init];
    [cell setButtonType:NSSwitchButton];
    [cell setImagePosition:NSImageOnly];
    [cell setControlSize:NSSmallControlSize];
    [[myTable tableColumnWithIdentifier:@"active"] setDataCell:cell];


Any ideas on what I'm missing or how better to debug this?

Thanks,
Steve
