A simple example that illustrates the adoption of Cocoa Bindings.
Build Requirements:
Mac OS X v10.4, Xcode 2.4
Runtime Requirements:
Mac OS X v10.4

This simple example illustrates the adoption of Cocoa Bindings to manage synchronization of values between models and views.

The example is a simple document-based application. Each document has a window with a text field, slider, and button. The values of the text field and slider represent the volume in a Track object managed by the document. The Mute button sets the volume to zero.

There are three versions of the application:

1. Using target-action to update the track's volume when the user presses Enter in the text field or moves the slider. The user interface is updated programmatically.

2. Programmatically: creating an object controller; binding its content to the track object; and binding the values of the text field and slider to the track's volume. The user interface is updated using bindings.

3. In Interface Builder: creating an object controller; binding its content to the track object; and binding the values of the text field and slider to the track's volume. The user interface is updated using bindings.
