One of the variables in the represented object is selected from a drop-down NSPopUpButtonCell (it's a cell because it's in the table view) - an NSArrayController which holds some NSManagedObjects.

When I open my xib file in Interface Builder and click on File's Owner in the Document window, the Connections Inspector is showing far more actions below Received Actions than I have defined in the class as specified by the File's Owner Class Identity.

All you have then do is [[AControl...
