You'll have to implement the logic in an NSTableView subclass. Override -mouseDown:, grab the cell at the mouse location, look at the cell's contents to see if you hit a link, and if so, do your link stuff. If not, call super for the default selection/tracking/editing behavior to take place. corbin _______________________________________________ Cocoa-dev mailing list (Cocoa-dev@lists.apple.com) Please do not post admin requests or moderator comments to the list.
