   What makes you think you can?  Logically, you shouldn't be

imagine selectedObjects is always going to return an index set; it'd
just be empty with no selection.  I did try comparing it to
NSNoSelectionMarker just in case, and that doesn't work.


Perhaps instead of imagining it would be more helpful to read the
documentation. -[NSObjectController selectedObjects] returns the
actual objects.

You also don't seem to understand how bindings work. Even if -
selectedObjects did return an NSIndexPath, it's a KVO-compliant
property and therefore perfectly suitable for binding to.

    I mixed up selectedIndexes.  So, yes, it does return objects.
However, it does not in fact return the actual objects.  It returns
proxies.  Which is what I said in my original post.  So even if there
are no selected objects, you get back a non-empty array.

-[NSArrayController selectedObjects] does not return proxies, it returns the real thing. On the other hand: -[NSArrayController selection] returns a proxy that represents the overall selection NSTreeController uses proxies to represent its tree structure. On 10.5+ this is exposed as NSTreeNode.

I think there is some confusion here between these things.
