Hi,
you should be able to detect a double click and call a method then
that either temporarily allows the selection or directly starts the
edit mode. I do have a similar setup - don't do editing, but I use
the double click action via bindings to attach notes to such an
unselectable item.
This approach may work, but it will give some undesired UI; this app
would the only be editable on double clicking, while other apps edit
on single-click (ala Leopard NSTableView and Finder).
You want to use this delegate method:
/* Optional - Custom tracking support
It is possible to control the ability to track a cell or not.
Normally, only selectable or selected cells can be tracked. If you
implement this method, cells which are not selectable or selected
can be tracked, and vice-versa. For instance, this allows you to
have an NSButtonCell in a table which does not change the selection,
but can still be clicked on and tracked.
*/
- (BOOL)tableView:(NSTableView *)tableView shouldTrackCell:(NSCell
*)cell forTableColumn:(NSTableColumn *)tableColumn row:
(NSInteger)row AVAILABLE_MAC_OS_X_VERSION_10_5_AND_LATER;
Return YES for your cell, and it should be trackable, and hence
editable...

In my NSOutlineView, I disallow selection of group items by
implementing the delegate method -outlineView:shouldSelectItem:,
which works fine, but I still want to be able to edit the titles
of group items. The above method prevents this also.
How can I prevent selection of the the item but still allow
editing of its title string?
tia,
OK, I added that method (in its outlineView version) to my delegate
and I'm simply returning YES always. I have verified that the method
is being called when I click on the view.
Unfortunately, it's not doing anything useful for me - it always
changes the selection to the row I click before flipping checkbox
states for example, and I am still unable to edit the name of a group
item (which is being prevented from being selected as desired by the -
outlineView:shouldSelectItem: delegate method).
Any idea why this wouldn't work as advertised? These are the only two
delegate methods I'm implementing other than watching for selection
changes and item expansion notifications.
Code:
- (BOOL) outlineView:(NSOutlineView*) outlineView shouldSelectItem:
(id) item
{
#pragma unused(outlineView)
return [item layerMayBecomeActive];
}
- (BOOL) outlineView:(NSOutlineView*) oView shouldTrackCell:
(NSCell*) cell forTableColumn:(NSTableColumn*) tableColumn item:(id)
item
{
#pragma unused(oView,cell,tableColumn,item)
NSLog(@"will track cell: %@", cell ); // this does log on each click
return YES;
}
Another question - is there a way to prevent the outline view from
making itself first responder when clicked unless absolutely
necessary, but without subclassing to override -acceptsFirstResponder?
thanks,
Graham
