Hi folks
This all started with a friend who wanted to emulate the Delphi concept of being able to "simply" add a "list box" to a form and add strings to it in the designer.
So, because I understand and teach separation of UI from data and, because Xcode beautifully supports MVC, I decided to put together a quick tutorial on how to achieve this.
I started by using the NSTableView, together with its delegate methods to supply the list of strings, but what my friend was really after was a way of using NSArrayController to supply the list of strings. This would also allow me to use the same NSArrayController to supply the list to an NSComboBox.
In working through this, I found that I needed to supply a read/write property in a category to NSMutableString.
I am writing a small article on this http://carterconsulting.myzen.co.uk/Articles/CreatingAnMruListInXcode.pdf and would value feedback on whether 1. I am on the right track, 2. there is already a better tutorial on this.
Many thanks
Joanna
