Hi Rob,
When you see something receiving valueForUndefinedKey, it's probable
that the wrong object is receiving the message. In this case,
"selection" is an NSArrayController key, but it's being sent to an
NSString. Beyond that, I'm not sure, without seeing some code or
getting more detail on how things are set up. Somebody else might have
more ideas.
How are you adding the objects to the array? Via -[NSArrayController
add] or another method? When you say the array is "in" the custom
view, do you mean it's an iVar in that object? The array should
probably be an iVar in your AppController, the array controller's
contentArray should be bound to it, and the table columns and custom
view bound to the array controller.
