Your question is unclear. Because we're talking about a NSOutlineView, "selected" means what you're calling "highlighted" below. It's better not to use "selected" to refer to the on/off state of your button cells. Let's call that "active". > Should I put the code in > In outlineView: objectValueForTableColumn:byItem:(id)item or in > outlineView:setObjectValue:forTableColumn:byItem: ? If you're trying to maintain a NSArray of "active" instruments, the correct place would be outlineView:setObjectValue:forTableColumn:byItem:, since that's the point at which you get told of the change of state. > Putting it in the NSOutlineView notification method > -(void)outlineViewSelectionDidChange:(NSNotification *)notification is bad > idea (I think) since then > the NSButtons are only changing their state if the row of the NSOutlineView > is highlighted / selected. > > I want to have the user change the state of the buttons whithout first > selecting the row of the outlineview. > > So should I alway recreate a new NSIndexSet for the selected NSButtonCells ? > If yes in which method should I put the code ? I'm not sure what the NSIndexSet is for. Do you mean "selected" or "active"? _______________________________________________ Cocoa-dev mailing list (Cocoa-dev@lists.apple.com) Please do not post admin requests or moderator comments to the list.
