Well, the table view must have some sort of cells to display its contents. So what I previously wrote would apply to those. With these separate controls, you have what's often called a master-detail interface.[1] You can bind those controls to the array controller, with a key path of @"selection.<property>". So, as the selection within the table view is changed, it will adjust the selection that's tracked by the array controller, which will result in the detail controls being updated.
