Quincey, thanks for the quick reply! As you suggested I tried the different options (putting a button cell in IB) and also returning with a non-nil cell for the NSOutlineView…but I'm not quite sure what you mean: Do I need to remove the "buttonColumn" and have only one column ? And then generate a NSButtonCell with an NSString generated from the OvItem name ?
If you have any code snippets this would be really great ! Thanks --Gilles > > This is the correct basic approach, but there's no need to create a new cell > every time this method is called.
