Hi,
Actually the only way I know of doing this pre-10.6 is to override
NSTableView's private _highlightColorForCell: method to return nil. Even if you
override -highlightSelectionInClipRect: to do nothing, the cell drawing will
still use the highlight colour returned from this private method.
So the correct settings pre-10.6 are:
The table view's selectionHighlightStyle must be set to
NSTableViewSelectionHighlightStyleRegular (if it's set to source list style,
NSTableView seems to do things completely differently).
In your table view delegate's - tableView:willDisplayCell:forTableColumn:row:
method, set the cell background style to light and the text colour to black:
[aCell setBackgroundStyle:NSBackgroundStyleLight];
[aCell setTextColor:[NSColor blackColor]];
Then, in your NSTableView subclass, have the private method return nil:
- (id)_highlightColorForCell:(NSCell *)cell
{
return nil;
}
(You can also override -highlightSelectionInClipRect: to do nothing just to be
sure, but the above should be all it takes.)
That should have the effect you're after.
Hope that helps.
All the best,
Keith
P.S. I'm hesitant about mentioning private methods here, but I don't think
there's another way of doing it - I filed an enhancement request for this
method to be made public back in April '06, ID#4521167, so please do the same
if you think it would be useful. I'm CC'ing Corbin so he can straighten me out
on the private method thing if this is totally the wrong advice, but it works
for me. :)
