I got it working.
Formerly I had:
- (void)applicationDidFinishLaunching:(NSNotification *)aNotification
{
self.dataArray = [ NSMutableArray array ]; // this is the
content of my ArrayController
for(...) { fill self.dataArray with 39 Dictionaries };
}
I changed this to:
- (void)applicationDidFinishLaunching:(NSNotification *)aNotification
{
NSMutableArray *tempArray = [ NSMutableArray array ];
for(...) { fill tempArray with 39 Dictionaries };
self.dataArray = tempArray;
}
And now it works.
In the bad old style the ArrayController knew it had 39 objects, but the
TableView still thought there were 0.
Now everything is in sync.

Now that cell view ARE created, there are still no errors. There just are no
images in my table.
Anyway - thanks a LOT for your help!
Kind regards,

So you don't need the method (because you have bindings), but you need to make sure that the table column identifier matches the interface identifier of the "prototype" view. > id g = [ self.arrayController arrangedObjects ];// > _NSControllerArrayProxy > NSLog(@"%s arrangedObjects %ld ",__FUNCTION__, [g count]); > prints 39 as expected.

If it's not creating any cell views, there won't be any errors. I think you still need to find out whether it's the table view binding or the cell view binding that's failing. You could insert a line of code, after the table view is supposedly initialized, to query the number of rows and see if it's 39. Note that the fact that the array controller contains the right objects doesn't necessarily mean anything, if KVO compliance is messed up. It's a matter of timing, in that case, as to what results you get. You could try throwing in a 'reloadData' for the table, once you're sure the array controller has the right content, and see if that changes things. If so, you have a KVO compliance problem earlier in the initialization. ___ Cocoa-dev mailing list (Cocoa-dev@lists.apple.com) Please do not post admin requests or moderator comments to the list.

Can't find the method: 'tableView:viewWithIdentifier…'. But makeViewWithIdentifier:... is never called. It was used in ...viewForTableColumn:... which was never called and has just been removed. I guess this is the root of the problem: I do not know where to call makeViewWithIdentifier.

So the array controller is not empty. It also contains correct objects. Just bound the image to "objectValue.AbsoluteNonsense" and did not get any error messages. Is this normal? Well - will try more tomorrow. It is almost three in the morning an I am tired. Thanks for your help!

What kind of empty? Are there any rows? Can you select rows by clicking on them, even if their content is blank? Are you sure there aren't any exception or other messages in the Console log that you didn't see? You could try temporarily unbinding the image and text properties of the cell view, so that they should display whatever they're showing in IB. That might give a clearer idea of whether it's the binding from the table to the array controller that's at fault, or the bindings from the cell subviews to the cell view. Do you still have a 'tableView:objectValue…' method, or do you set objectValue in 'tableView:viewWithIdentifier…'? Neither should be necessary when using the table view binding to the array controller. Is your cell view a subclass of NSTableCellView, or something else? Are you trying to use the built-in (design-time) table cell view, or have you registered a nib to provide the cell views? Are you sure you're using the correct view identifier in 'tableView:viewWithIdentifier…'? Are you sure 'makeViewWithIdentifer:' isn't returning nil? Are you sure this is a table view issue, and not a KVO compliance issue with the property that's supplying the array controller content? There's lots that can go wrong here. :) ___ Cocoa-dev mailing list (Cocoa-dev@lists.apple.com) Please do not post admin requests or moderator comments to the list.

View Based TableView - how to use bindings?
I have a view-based table view which currently uses a DataSource. But I would like to use bindings instead. I know how to do this with a cell-based table view - and I was following "Populating View-Based Table Views using Cocoa Bindings". My array controller has arrangedObjects which seem to be right. But my table is absolutely empty. The Array Controller has it's content bound to some array of dictionaries, which have the keys "Name" and "Image". The table view's content is bound to Array Controller arrangedObjects. The only TableColumn is not bound to anything. The Image View of the Table Cell View has it's Value bound to Table Cell View objectValue.Image. The Static Text of the Table Cell View has it's Value bound to Table Cell View objectValue.Name. But still - the table remains empty. What might I be missing? Gerriet. ___ Cocoa-dev mailing list (Cocoa-dev@lists.apple.com) Please do not post admin requests or moderator comments to the list.
