The reason they didn't use bindings here is because it's not appropriate for hooking up an NSTextStorage to an NSTextView. Bindings (really, KVO) can't deal with mutable value types. In the world of KVO, all changes mean that the actual object identity has changed, not merely the value it contains. NSTextViews can be used as editors for simple immutable NSString properties, which is when using them with bindings is appropriate. --Kyle Sluder _______________________________________________ Cocoa-dev mailing list (Cocoa-dev@lists.apple.com) Please do not post admin requests or moderator comments to the list.
