Re: Alternatives to NSMatrix that uses bindings similar to NSMatrix's bindings

For anyone interested I decided to implement a subclass of NSObjectController. Each NSMatrix object is removed from the NIB and replaced with individual NSRadioButtons. I then add an NSObjectController instance to the NIB for each NSMatrix replaced and set its class to RadioGroupController. I

Re: Alternatives to NSMatrix that uses bindings similar to NSMatrix's bindings

Hi Graham, I believe the part you are missing is the ability to use bindings and ideally bindings setup in IB. The bulk of Sean McBride’s code simulates the binding behavior of NSMatrix (i.e., keeping a model property in sync with the visual display and vice versa) and his code does this only

Re: Alternatives to NSMatrix that uses bindings similar to NSMatrix's bindings

Reworking the view controller to have a bunch of outlets to buttons is what I am trying to avoid. The original implementation simply bound the radio group (NSMatrix) either to a numeric property or to an object property on the model. The code Sean McBride provided shows the lengths one has to

It's hard to find. asciiwwdc site makes it discoverable. As far as I can tell it was only there (so in a video) but might be in some release notes though those often don't show up in searches. The programming guide docs are generally woefully out of date for controls that don't come inside of

Alternatives to NSMatrix that uses bindings similar to NSMatrix's bindings

I have a number of NSMatrix instances that group radio buttons. Most bind the selectedIndex or selectedTag bindings available on NSMatrix to a numeric value in a model object. The others bind the contentObjects and selectedObject binding available on NSMatrix. As NSMatrix is informally
