Generally you subclass the control and implement whatever data association you want.

I'm pretty sure I know the answer to this question, but I'll ask it anyway :-)...

Is there a Cocoa equivalent to Carbon's Get|SetControlProperty() family of functions? For those not familiar these functions let you associate user data with controls. I've never really used this for much, but it is very useful for storing a pointer to a C++ object representing the control in a UI framework, for example.

It would be great to be able to do this for NSViews but I haven't been able to find any equivalent. Are there any ingenious ways that you might be aware of so I could bolt this on to NSView?

I'm trying to avoid setting up a map from NSViews to UI framework objects, but I suspect it will be inevitable. Not really a big deal, but less hassle to be able to associate the data directly so that would be a preferable solution.
