I have been reading various blogs, tried to search CocoaBuilder, and
have ben looking at the code in Apple's PhotoSearch sample, but am not
clear about the best way to handle this situation:
I have an NSOutlineView for which I have set a custom cell (sub class
of NSTextViewCell) in order to draw a badge on the right side of the
cell.
I have overridden drawInteriorWithFrame:controlView: to do my drawing
there. It seems to me that when a row that has descendent nodes is
expanded, the width of the hierarchically containing cells (lower
level value) are made wider (by the same amount as the indentation).
Both the indented cells (by their indentation) and the higher order
cells (by the increased cell width) now have their right side pushed
partway out of the viewable area of the column. So, I can't determine
the x position of the badge based upon the width of the cell (a
hierarchically outer cell with no indent has an increased width, yet
to calculate a proper x coordinate, the cell would need to know that
some other table items are expanded; how could it "know" this?)
My best idea so far is to determine the position based on the table
column's width, and take into account the indent level. But I suspect
there are any of a number of ways to handle this, and so am looking
for guidance on a best practice from those with experience.
TIA.
