Hi Graham and thank you very much for your reply. I think I'm still a bit
confused I do apologize. :-( Here's my code so far so you can see...
- (int)numberOfRowsInTableView:(NSTableView *)aTableView
{
return[filenamescount];
}
- (id)tableView:(NSTableView *)aTableView
objectValueForTableColumn:(NSTableColumn *)aTableColumn
row:(NSInteger)rowIndex
{
if([[aTableColumn identifier] isEqualToString:@"column2"])
{
return[NSNumbernumberWithInt:NSOnState];
}
return [filenames objectAtIndex:rowIndex];
- (void)tableView:(NSTableView *)aTableView
setObjectValue:(id)anObject
forTableColumn:(NSTableColumn *)aTableColumn
row:(int)rowIndex
{
// This is where I'm stuck!
}
And in this code I am using my variable which is a list of filenames...
NSMutableArray*filenames;
Other than the connections I have in IB I have given this column of checkboxes
the Identifier "column2" in IB. I have not set any other property key like you
mentioned and I'm not sure where I would do that? I'm not using bindings in my
case...I was under the impression it was not necessary? The first 2 methods
seem to work fine and the 3rd method is being called but it's just I couldn't
figure out the code to change the state of the checkboxes...
Thank you again so much for your help,
Rick

You don't actually state clearly what the problem is, but there is a minor
error above:
> setObjectValue:anObject
should be:
> setObjectValue:(id) anObject
is that it?
I believe that types left out default to <id> so it may not be. If your
question is "how do I toggle the state of something in my data model when the
checkbox is changed?" then this may help:
- (void) tableView:(NSTableView*) tv setObjectValue:(id) objectVal
forTableColumn:(NSTableColumn*) column row:(int) rowIndex
{
id someObject;
someObject = [[self dataModel] objectAtIndex:rowIndex];
[someObject setValue:objectVal forKey:[column identifier]];
}
where [column identifier] returns the string which is the property key for the
boolean property of interest that the checkbox is representing. You set this in
IB, e.g. @"myBooleanProperty"
