Looks like you're bypassing the to_i conversion of @number by calling instance_variable_set directly, but I'd guess that the problem is somewhere else in the app. Any chance you could put the whole thing up on github?

Here is the code. Can anyone tell me what I'm missing here?

Thanks for the reply and sorry for the delay. I created a simple Xcode project and it must be something I'm doing... http://github.com/sxross/MacRuby-Array-Cocoa-Array-Binding/fast_forward

I put together an Objective-C version of this same thing and checked it into the github project for comparison. It works. I'm sure there's something different in how I'm using it, but I can't see what. The project is at: git@github.com:sxross/MacRuby-Array-Cocoa-Array-Binding.git That's both MacRuby and Objective-C. Any pointers to my blind spot are appreciated :) Steve

Yes, this appears to be the bug, and yes, this is an absolutely great (!!!) temporary fix. Thanks very much for this. Steve On Jan 12, 2010, at 5:48 PM, John Shea wrote:

Perhaps it is this bug here: https://www.macruby.org/trac/ticket/473

In my case with the current 0.5 beta2 no float or integer binding to nscontrol works (I get all 1's) unless the float or integer is converted to an NSDecimalNumber using a ValueTransformer. This is what i use for each float binding as a work around:

class ToDecimalTransformer < NSValueTransformer def self.transformedValueClass; NSDecimalNumber.class; end

def self.allowsReverseTransformation; true; end

def transformedValue(value) NSDecimalNumber.decimalNumberWithString(value.to_s) end

def reverseTransformedValue(value) new_val = value.to_f end end

HTH, John
