Piffle. Formatters work perfectly well with comboboxes; I use them all the time. A combination of a formatter and a datasource is a very powerful way to run a combobox.

The problem with the above example is that an NSNumberFormatter expects numeric values, but "0", "1" and so forth aren't numbers; they're strings. m.
