Changing the format of NSTableColumn built using Core Data Entity ?
-
HI - I have what seems a silly question, but I can't seem to find an
answer. I have a window in IB which contains a 'Core Data Entity'
table view. This pre-built table has a number of columns, some
contained strings and some containing integers. What I want to do is
change the binding of one of the integer columns to bind to a string
instead.
The problem is that I can change the binding OK, but how do I change
the format of the column from integer to string ? When I bind the
column to a string value I get either blank or zero as the cell
contents. I know the binding changes work OK because I can bind to a
different integer value no problem.
Where on earth do I change the format of these prebuilt table columns
using Interface Builder ?
Thanks -

Select the table column (which takes 3 clicks if you're starting at
the top level). Click again to select the table column cell. You
should see a little circle that represents the formatter. Click on the
circle to select it and press Delete to remove it. -

No matter what I select I don't get the formatter circle. I've seen
formatter circles before, so know what they look like. Is there
something special about these auto-generated Core Data tables that
stops what you describe working ?

My apologies - I seem to have found it now. Thank you very much.
