NSOutlineView Bindings

Action Invocation Bindings

doubleClickArgument

A multiple-value binding that specifies the object passed as a parameter to the selector when NSOutlineView receives a double click.

When doubleClickArgument is bound, a new binding, doubleClickArgument2, is exposed and can be bound. Binding to doubleClickArgument2 causes doubleClickArgument3 to be exposed, and so on.

The objects specified in the doubleClickArgument bindings are passed as parameters to the selector specified in the doubleClickTarget binding when the NSOutlineView is double clicked.

doubleClickTarget

An object that receives a message corresponding to selector name when the NSOutlineView is double clicked.

Availability Bindings

enabled

A multiple-value binding that determines if the NSOutlineView is enabled in the user interface.

When enabled is bound, a new binding, enabled2, is exposed and can be bound. Binding to enabled2 causes enabled3 to be exposed, and so on.

The NSOutlineView is enabled if a logical AND operation on all the enabled bindings results in a Boolean value of YES.

hidden

A multiple-value binding that determines if the NSOutlineView is displayed in the user interface.

When hidden is bound, a new binding, hidden2, is exposed and can be bound. Binding to hidden2 causes hidden3 to be exposed, and so on.

The NSOutlineView is hidden if a logical OR operation on all the hidden bindings results in a Boolean value of YES.

Font Bindings

font

An NSFont used to display the NSOutlineView.

If font is bound, all other Font category bindings are disabled.

fontBold

A Boolean value that determines if the NSFont used to display the NSOutlineView is bold. If fontBold evaluates to YES, the bold attribute is added to the font.

If fontBold is bound, the font and fontName bindings are disabled.

fontFamilyName

An NSString that specifies the family name of the NSFont used to display the contents of the NSOutlineView.

If fontFamilyName is bound to a key, the font and fontName bindings are disabled.

fontItalic

A Boolean value that determines if the NSFont used to display the NSOutlineView is italic. If fontItalic evaluates to YES, the italic attribute is added to the font.

If fontItalic is bound, the font and fontName bindings are disabled.

fontName

An NSString that specifies the full name of the NSFont that is used to display the contents of the NSOutlineView. The full font name includes the family and the style of the font — for example, "Helvetica-Bold".

If fontName bound to a key, the font, fontBold, fontFamilyName and fontItalic bindings are disabled.

fontSize

An integer value that determines the size, in points, of the font used to display the NSOutlineView.

If fontSize is bound, the font binding is disabled.

Outline View Content Bindings

content

An NSTreeController instance that provides the content of the NSOutlineView.

Unless contentValues is also bound, the titles of the items in the NSOutlineView are derived by invoking the descriptionmethod for each of the content objects.

If you bind the content explicitly rather than binding a column of the NSOutlineView to the controller, you must also explicitly bind the selectionIndexPaths and sortDescriptors to the controller.

selectionIndexPaths

An array of NSIndexPath instances that specify the current selection in the NSOutlineView.

sortDescriptors

An indexed collection of NSSortDescriptor instances that specify the sort ordering of the contents of the NSOutlineView.

The indexed collection is an NSArray instance or subclass, or a property that is accessible using the key-value-coding indexed accessor methods.

Typically this binding is created automatically, binding to the sort descriptors of the NSArrayController of the initially bound NSTableColumn.

Parameters Bindings

rowHeight

An integer value that specifies the height, in pixels, of a row in the NSOutlineView.

toolTip

An NSString that contains the tool tip to display for this NSOutlineView.
