Hi Florijan,

I've made an NSActionCell subclass for indicating the priority of an object, similar to the rating column in iTunes. The visual aspects of it are working fine, as well as displaying the correct priority for table rows that have a priority value set.

The problem is setting the new priority when the user clicks on the column. I've tried two approaches:

1) Setting the target of the cell to self, and in the action message set the objectValue of the cell to the desired priority (which I have no problem determining from the location of the mouse click). Somehow that does not affect the bound NSManagedObject at all.

If I understand you correctly, you have bound your table column to an array controller, and are trying to change the data by changing the table column. As far as I understand bindings (which isn't much), you aren't supposed to (because it won't work) change the data by programmatically adjusting the view (ie the table column cell).

You should instead direct any programmatic changes to the data itself, through the controller in a key-value compliant way. Then the view will automatically reflect those changes.

I hope this helps. If ou need more detail, I'll try to follow up.
