Hi Carolyn, I can't help with Virtus or SmartProperty, but I think for MacRuby to recognise an outlet in your code you need to use 'attr_accessor', not 'attribute'.
Maybe you could use the various types of input fields to ensure the values are numbers or strings, and then query their stringValue or integerValue. Hope that helps. -- Stephen Horne On 21/11/2012, at 20:04, Carolyn Ann Grant <carolyn.ann.gr...@gmail.com> wrote: > I've done a bit of Googling, but couldn't find anything on this.
