Display data from NSArray in NSTableView

Question

Hi all,

I have a problem, and I reckon there's a really straightforward solution to it, but I can't fathom it out!

I have this piece of code:

NSManagedObjectContext * context  = [[NSApp delegate] managedObjectContext];
    NSManagedObjectModel   * model    = [[NSApp delegate] managedObjectModel];
    NSDictionary           * entities = [model entitiesByName];
    NSEntityDescription    * entity   = [entities valueForKey:@"Post"];

    NSPredicate * predicate;
    predicate = [NSPredicate predicateWithFormat:@"date < %@", [NSDate date]];

    NSSortDescriptor * sort = [[NSSortDescriptor alloc] initWithKey:@"date" ascending:YES];
    NSArray * sortDescriptors = [NSArray arrayWithObject: sort];

    NSFetchRequest * fetch = [[NSFetchRequest alloc] init];
    [fetch setEntity: entity];
    [fetch setPredicate: predicate];
    [fetch setSortDescriptors: sortDescriptors];

    NSArray * results = [context executeFetchRequest:fetch error:nil];
    [sort release];
    [fetch release];

This returns the specified data in an Array. I now want to display this data in a NSTableView.

How would I go about doing this?

Thanks!

Answer 1

You could use it as the data for an NSArrayController which you bind to the NSTableView.

Answer 2

Looks like you need to read into bindings.
