> Do you perhaps mean a private instance variable? Yes… I do. And, if I understand you correctly, using the “selectionIndexPaths” binding of the TreeController (from IB) I should be able to use that information to trace it back ( with key paths) to my model instance. Let me play around with that, but I suspect that this is the way to solve this… certainly more elegant than I am trying to. _______________________________________________ Cocoa-dev mailing list (Cocoa-dev@lists.apple.com) Please do not post admin requests or moderator comments to the list.
