TM_DIALOG … in my dropdown, I can't figure out a way to get it to default to a given item so to workaround it I just added it twice, once at the top of the list so it's displayed by default and again in it's rightful alphabetic order. I'd definitely like to know if anyone can tell me a better way to do this.
I think you should be able to bind (in the Inspector, when the dropdown is selected) the selectedIndex to
Bind to: Parameters (or whatever you call that object controller) Controller key: selection Model key path: whateverYouWantToCallIt
This assumes you're using a NSPopUpButton (the dropdown with up-down arrows). Things might be different for other kinds of dropdowns.
If you set things up this way, you should be able to give a value for the key whateverYouWantToCallIt in the in-parameters to determine what item is selected, and the out-parameters will have such a key as well.
