Equivalent to a "ListBox" in XCode?

Question

You know Visual Studio, that awesome element called "ListBox"? Just a box that would list a bunch of strings.

I am now working with XCode, and I found this class in the interface builder "NSScrollView". It seems to be able to list me a couple strings. It says it got a NSTextView inside, but, how do I access it?

I am not even sure if NSScrollView is the correct solution I need, but if I could simply access the NSTextView inside it, I think it would be enough.

Answer 1

See NSTableView.

As for getting to a text view inside a scroll view, create an Interface Builder outlet (IBOutlet) and connect it to the text view itself, rather than the scroll view.

Answer 2

To get to a text view inside a scroll view; you need to select the controller with your outlet defined; click and hold control and then drag the blue connection line from your controller to the top line of the scroll view; then just wait for a blue line to appear; this will then prompt to let you link your outlet to the text view.
