Availability Bindings

editable

A multiple-value binding that determines if the NSTableColumn 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 NSTableColumn are editable if a logical AND operation on all the editable bindings results in a Boolean value of YES.

Availability:
Available in OS X v10.3 and later.
Binding is Read-Only.

Value With Pattern Bindings

displayPatternValue1

A multiple-value binding that specifies a string value that replaces %{value1}@ in a display pattern string that is used to set the value of the NSTableColumn.

When displayPatternValue1 is bound, a new binding, displayPatternValue2, is exposed and can be bound. Binding to displayPatternValue2 causes displayPatternValue3 to be exposed, and so on.

The Display Pattern binding option is an NSString that is used as the pattern string. The appropriate displayPatternValueX binding value is substituted for the %{valueX}@ pattern in the display string.

As an example, if displayPatternValue1 evaluates to 22, displayPatternValue2 evaluates to 5 and the Display Pattern string is "%{value2}@ of %{value1}@ rows are selected", the resulting value will be "5 of 22 rows are selected".

If displayPatternValue1 is bound, the value binding is not available.
