I managed to remove all of my other notification posts, apart from selectAll: I also found that when modifying the selection programmatically, I needed to post the notification manually, so a more general mechanism than I require would need to post from at least a subset of the selectXXX: methods. > If it helps with the ick factor, I > would say that it's much less hacky to take advantage of one method's > documented purpose -- "do something when the selection changes, even if it's > via keyboard" -- than to do trivial overrides of multiple methods that you > select by trial and error. Fair comment, although the documentation for setSendsActionOnArrowKeys doesn't really state that explicitly - it probably wouldn't have occurred to me to try that for a long time. >> Surely it shouldn't really be that hard to capture/intercept selection >> changes - to have to resort to trial and error over-riding of >> selectXXX, et al. methods is a bit irksome. > > I agree, it seems a weird omission, given that with NSTableView you have a > choice of using either a delegate method or a notification for that very > purpose. > > --Andy > -- http://www.mildmanneredindustries.com/ _______________________________________________ Cocoa-dev mailing list (Cocoa-dev@lists.apple.com) Please do not post admin requests or moderator comments to the list.
