Hi Corbin Long time no speak!! The last time we met in person, was when Borland paid for us (TeamB) to come out to Scotts Valley.

Yeh, definitely more by accident than design :-) The problem with this particular "Delphiite" is that they think it is good separation to add strings to list view, which is definitely not part of the "controller", nor the model. > NSTableView is not like a Win32 Listcontrol, which is what Delphi's > TTreeView/TListView is based off of.

But what this particular person seems to see is that it is more work to have to declare the data in the controller before hooking up the UI to it ??!! > A good Delphi -> AppKit tutorial would probably be showing people how to hook > up the File's Owner, add outlets, add actions, and the hook them up in IB. > All those things you basically got for "free" in Delphi by dropping down a > component and double clicking on it. Yes, I've already done that in presentations and articles for the UK Developers Group. > --corbin > (known in the Delphi world about 6 years ago) I bet you're glad you're not there any more ;-) Joanna -- Joanna Carter Carter Consulting _______________________________________________ Cocoa-dev mailing list (Cocoa-dev@lists.apple.com) Please do not post admin requests or moderator comments to the list.
