NSTextField will not show

Question

I've tried many of the answers that I've found here. I must be doing something dumb and could use help.

1. in .h: @property (strong) IBOutlet NSTextField *title;

2. in .m:

   title = [[NSTextField alloc] init];
   [title setStringValue:@"test"];
   NSLog(@"title is %@", [title stringValue]);
   

3. In IB, the title field is set up like this:

and it's class is NSTextField.

I can get the data to show in the tableview, but I cannot link it to the textfield. Thanks for any help...

I do log the title field and that shows content:

  title is test

Answer 1

After looking some more on SO, I came up with this, that works as I need it:

NSInteger row =  [[notification object] selectedRow];
    currentItem = [itemArray objectAtIndex:row];

    [self.itemTitle setStringValue:
     [NSString stringWithFormat: @"%@", [currentItem valueForKey:@"title"]]];

Thanks
