Hi all,


Trying to achieve a similar view as this:

50ea1dd91bc76ca73700cf89440fc1f1.png



I'm very new to Objective-C (I probably should have held out for Swift), and am not familiar with all UI elements yet, etc.

I think it's a NSTableView, but I'm not sure. So far I've managed to get a list of mounts in a NSMutableArray, but I'm unsure as to how to populate the NSTableView with elements of the array.

Any tips?

Thanks!

Have a look at bindings, they are the easiest way to populate an NSTableView, especially those fairly simple ones.

Review some tutorials on basic tableview operation

If you're new to tableviews, learning the basics without bindings will give you a better understanding of their operation. I would use the the standard data source delegates the tableview class provides. Maybe review lessons 13, 14, 15 in Luca's series ( these lessons are an introduction to tableviews )

to see the basics.You might decide a view-based tableview is better-suited and there are some tutorials there on view-based tableviews ( versus the standard cell-based ).
