Thanks for your respons, but I need the exacte size in points, which means drawing with the right Font etc.
So here's where I am in - (CGFloat)tableView:(NSTableView *)tableView heightOfRow:(NSInteger)row I'm calling a function which calculates the height needed for the text and that's what I'm returning: -(float)heightForStringDrawing:(NSString*)theTextField withFont:(NSFont*)myFont forWidth:(float)myWidth{ NSTextStorage *textStorage = [[[NSTextStorage alloc] initWithString:theTextField] autorelease]; NSTextContainer *textContainer = [[[NSTextContainer alloc] initWithContainerSize: NSMakeSize(myWidth, FLT_MAX)] autorelease]; NSLayoutManager *layoutManager = [[[NSLayoutManager alloc] init] autorelease]; [layoutManager addTextContainer:textContainer]; [textStorage addLayoutManager:layoutManager]; [textStorage addAttribute:NSFontAttributeName value:myFont range:NSMakeRange(0,[textStorage length])]; [textContainer setLineFragmentPadding:0.0]; [layoutManager glyphRangeForTextContainer:textContainer]; return [layoutManager usedRectForTextContainer:textContainer].size.height; } BUT, I'm getting row clippings, and the strange thing if as soon as I'm clicking on any cell, everything comes back to good order.
