IBOutletCollections and Interface Builder on OSX

Question

I have a NSViewController , in which I wish to create a an IBOutletCollection(NSTextField).

In my header file, I introduced these lines of code :

@property (strong) IBOutletCollection(NSTextField) NSArray *iNetworkIDOctets;

@property (strong) IBOutletCollection(NSTextField) NSArray *oWildcardOctets;

@property (strong) IBOutletCollection(NSTextField) NSArray *oSubnetOctets;

My problem is that I can't see the IBOutletCollection in Interface Builder, therefore, I can't connect my NSTextField items to my outlet collection.

Normal IBoutletproperties work fine though.

Unfortunately, IBOutletCollection is only supported on iOS. For OS X, you'll have to create a separate outlet for each object, or else come up with an alternate way to reference the text fields in your XIB.
