Given this simple app....which keeps a slider and textField's value synchronized.

1) View consisting of a slider and a textField
2) Model (Foo) with a single property "number"
3) NSObjectController

I am able to use 2 configurations to get the app to work.


Config (1).

In IB, Bind the textField's and Slider's values to the model Key Path "selection.number".
Connect the NSOjectController's outlet ( cntrl-drag to foo).


Config (2)

As config (1) ...first line only.... now Bind NSObjectController to Foo, with the model Key Path = self.


Could someone please explain why both work, and any reason for choosing one over the other.

Is File's Owner of class Foo?


No...it's of class NSApplication.




(I'm not sure how you'd bind to Foo otherwise.)


NSObjectController bindings offer both File's Owner and Foo , (amongst others) as an option for binding.



If so, the two methods are exactly identical.

Method (1) is what you'd normally use for objects inside the NIB file. Method (2) is what you'd normally use for objects not in the NIB file. File's Owner is not actually in the NIB file, but it pretends to be, so you have a choice.




Thanks for your insight.
