Hi Graham and thank you very much for your reply. I think I'm still a bit confused I do apologize. :-( Here's my code so far so you can see...
- (int)numberOfRowsInTableView:(NSTableView *)aTableView { return[filenamescount]; } - (id)tableView:(NSTableView *)aTableView objectValueForTableColumn:(NSTableColumn *)aTableColumn row:(NSInteger)rowIndex { if([[aTableColumn identifier] isEqualToString:@"column2"]) { return[NSNumbernumberWithInt:NSOnState]; } return [filenames objectAtIndex:rowIndex]; - (void)tableView:(NSTableView *)aTableView setObjectValue:(id)anObject forTableColumn:(NSTableColumn *)aTableColumn row:(int)rowIndex { // This is where I'm stuck! } And in this code I am using my variable which is a list of filenames... NSMutableArray*filenames; Other than the connections I have in IB I have given this column of checkboxes the Identifier "column2" in IB. I have not set any other property key like you mentioned and I'm not sure where I would do that? I'm not using bindings in my case...I was under the impression it was not necessary? The first 2 methods seem to work fine and the 3rd method is being called but it's just I couldn't figure out the code to change the state of the checkboxes... Thank you again so much for your help, Rick ________________________________ From: Graham Cox <graham....@bigpond.com> To: Jo Phils <jo_p...@yahoo.com> Cc: cocoa-dev@lists.apple.com Sent: Friday, March 20, 2009 1:56:36 PM Subject: Re: NSTableView updating checkboxes On 20/03/2009, at 4:43 AM, Jo Phils wrote: > I am still a Cocoa beginner and looking for some help.

I believe that types left out default to <id> so it may not be. If your question is "how do I toggle the state of something in my data model when the checkbox is changed?" then this may help: - (void) tableView:(NSTableView*) tv setObjectValue:(id) objectVal forTableColumn:(NSTableColumn*) column row:(int) rowIndex { id someObject; someObject = [[self dataModel] objectAtIndex:rowIndex]; [someObject setValue:objectVal forKey:[column identifier]]; } where [column identifier] returns the string which is the property key for the boolean property of interest that the checkbox is representing. You set this in IB, e.g. @"myBooleanProperty" --Graham _______________________________________________ Cocoa-dev mailing list (Cocoa-dev@lists.apple.com) Please do not post admin requests or moderator comments to the list.
