Yes thanks
I did something like this.
I realize now that "selection" is just a getter method on NSObjectController
so no sense binding to it without a keypath.

I have an NSArrayController subclass and an NSPopUpButton subclass.
I am trying to bind the NSPopUpButton's selected object to the
selection of my array controller.
I have to do this manually for reasons I won't get into here.

But when I do this (self is myPopUpButton)
[self bind:@"selectedObject" toObject:ArrayController
withKeyPath:@"selection" options:nil];

I get the error that my array controller is not KVC for the key path
selection.
"selection" is definitely a controller key option  in Interface
Builder, is it possible that this doesn't work programmatically?
Has anyone else run into this problem???

I want to bind to the selected object, not the index... so it seems my
only option here is selectedObjects, which I will have to pass an
array of one object to.

I'm no expert in this area, but have dabbled with some code related to this, hence I offer the following subject to proviso...


I believe the only KVObservable properties of NSArrayController that you can use in this way are: -selectedObjects, -selectionIndex, and - sectionIndexes.

My suggestion, as you have subclassed NSArrayController, would be to add an additional KVO compliant property that returns the underlying (first) selected object (not the proxy object). Implement a - selectedObject property in your sub class and use it as the keyPath in the bind statement.

- (id) selectedObject
{
	return [[self selectedObjects] objectAtIndex:0];
}

HTH.
