Question

just a simple problem (I hope !)

I’ve got a void method which add a column to a table.

Why if I call that method programmatically (ex: [self method] ) my table won’t update and instead if i call it through an IBAction (pushing a button from app) it works ?
Actually i can see from the log that the method is called in both cases but update data just with IBAction.

the method:

- (IBAction)void {
    NSTableColumn *column = [[NSTableColumn alloc] initWithIdentifier:@"1"];
    [column setWidth:50];
    [tableData addTableColumn:column];
    [tableData reloadData];

    [[column headerCell] setStringValue:@"aColumn"];
    NSLog(@"Method called"); //The method is called in both cases
}

I can’t find out what I am doing wrong.

Thanks a lot !

Where did you call this programmatically? You might have called it before the view was loaded in an init method instead of something else like awakeFromNib.
