NSDictionaryController Bindings

Availability Bindings

editable

A multiple-value binding that determines if the NSDictionaryController is editable in the user interface.

When editable is bound, a new binding, editable2, is exposed and can be bound. Binding to editable2 causes editable3 to be exposed, and so on.

The contents of the NSDictionaryController are editable if a logical AND operation on all the editable bindings results in a Boolean value of YES.

Controller Content Bindings

contentDictionary

An NSDictionary object that specifies the content of the NSDictionaryController.

Controller Content Parameters Bindings

filterPredicate

The NSPredicate instance that is used by the NSDictionaryController to filter the array controller contents.

selectionIndexes

An NSIndexSet instance that specifies the indices of the selected rows in the NSDictionaryController.

sortDescriptors

An indexed collection of NSSortDescriptor instances that specify the sort ordering of the contents of the NSDictionaryController.

The indexed collection is an NSArray instance or subclass, or a property that is accessible using the key-value-coding indexed accessor methods.

Parameters Bindings

excludedKeys

An array of strings containing the names of the keys in the dictionary content that should never be displayed in the user interface.

includedKeys

An array of strings containing the names of the keys in the contentDictionary that should always be displayed in the user interface, even if they are not present in the contentDictionary.

initialKey

A string used as the initial key name for a newly inserted item in the contentDictionary.

As new items are inserted the controller enumerates the initial key name, resulting in key names such as “key”, “key1”, “key2”, and so on. This behavior can be customized by overriding newObject.

initialValue

A string used as the initial value for a newly inserted item in the contentDictionary.

localizedKeyDictionary

An NSDictionary that provides the localized key names for the keys in the dictionary, allowing a user-friendly representation of the key name to be displayed.

managedObjectContext

The NSManagedObjectContext instance that the NSDictionaryController is registered with.
