hi ben, This simply returns a prepared cell; not a copied cell. > NSText *textEditor = [csvWindow fieldEditor:YES forObject:cell]; This won't give you what you want; the field editor is used by the control, not the cell. In this case, it is the tableView. The prepared cell doesn't have a particular knowledge of where it is in the table; it is just setup to be used for drawing. So, asking for the fieldEditor of a cell doesn't make sense. > > NSLog(@"Match: row %@, field %@, range(%d, %d)", [match row], [match field], > [match range].location, [match range].length); > [csvTableView scrollRowToVisible:row]; > [csvTableView scrollColumnToVisible:col]; > [textEditor setSelectedRange:[match range]]; > > I feel like I need to between getting the textEditor for the window and > calling -setSelectedRange:, I just don't know what. You need to begin an editing session first; call this: - (void)editColumn:(NSInteger)column row:(NSInteger)row withEvent:(NSEvent *)theEvent select:(BOOL)select; then ask for the field editor: NSTextView *textEditor = [csvWindow fieldEditor:YES forObject:table]; Then do whatever selection you want on it. corbin > > Ben._______________________________________________ > > Cocoa-dev mailing list (Cocoa-dev@lists.apple.com) > > Please do not post admin requests or moderator comments to the list. > Contact the moderators at cocoa-dev-admins(at)lists.apple.com > > Help/Unsubscribe/Update your Subscription: > http://lists.apple.com/mailman/options/cocoa-dev/corbind%40apple.com > > This email sent to corb...@apple.com _______________________________________________ Cocoa-dev mailing list (Cocoa-dev@lists.apple.com) Please do not post admin requests or moderator comments to the list.
