So you've got multiple views laid up side-by-side to give the illusion of one big view? Instead of changing the selection, could you implement Corbin's suggestion of overriding -menuForEvent: to not call super, but instead tell all the sibling views to draw pieces of the "this row was right-clicked" style? Then you keep the system standard behavior and maintain your illusion of one big view. --Kyle Sluder _______________________________________________ Cocoa-dev mailing list (Cocoa-dev@lists.apple.com) Please do not post admin requests or moderator comments to the list.
