I am currently have trouble trying to understand how to access objects
in an NSArrayController in conjunction with a NSCollectionView.
I have a class entitled: "VCMovieObjects", which contains information
on a specific video clip. These objects are loaded into an
NSArrayController, which is bound to a NSCollectionView. The
NSCollectionView loads up my own subclassed NSViews (VCMovieContainer)
into its contents for each object in the NSArrayController. I know I
can bind various labels on my subclassed NSView to show the properties
stored in my VCMovieObjects, but I want my VCMovieContainer to be able
to access the appropriate VCMovieObject itself in the code, that way I
can access all the data I need from it and use it appropriately when
drawing the contents of the VCMovieContainer that correlates to that
specific VCMovieObject.
I am not sure about how to go about doing this in the correct way. I
consider trying to bind an Object to the NSArrayController, and then
creating an Outlet to that object from my custom NSView, but I don't
know if it will maintain the correct reference to the right object
that coressponds with the particular view. When I tried it, I just got
a null when trying to access data. I want to avoid subclassing
NSArrayController if possible. Any pointers would be appreciated.
Thank you.
