I ran 'tableView:viewForTableColumn and it is always tableColumn == nil as I have just 1 column. I noticed that I never hit anything that is not "GroupCell". However this does not solve the grey background right?
Also I tried [ltableView setSelectionHighlightStyle: NSTableViewSelectionHighlightStyleSourceList]; It at least gets me the blue highlight colour. However there is some weird blue background now. http://snag.gy/a1AC3.jpg is how it looks now. Still not a white background.

Nothing at all! Rows corresponding to a 'DesktopFolderEntity' are group rows, and all the others are not. Also I implemented - (NSView *)tableView:(NSTableView *)tableView viewForTableColumn:(NSTableColumn *)tableColumn row:(NSInteger)row { DesktopEntity *entity = _tableContents[row]; if ([entity isKindOfClass:[DesktopFolderEntity class]]) { NSTableCellView *groupCell = [tableView makeViewWithIdentifier:@"GroupCell" owner:self]; [groupCell.textField setStringValue:entity.name]; return groupCell; } return nil; } Are you saying I should not return nil here? Well, you are returning nil for rows that aren't 'DesktopFolderEntity', which doesn't seem a good idea, but that isn't the issue you asked about. In this code, you should return a view with identifier "GroupCell" - as you have done - for rows that are 'DesktopFolderEntity'. Since these are indeed group rows, this correctly gives them the group-row appearance (the one with the gray background). That is, your table view is showing exactly what you asked it to show. Your 'tableView:viewForTableColumn:' method is, however, missing some code. You need to return a view for non-group rows (that would probably be a view with identifier 'DataCell', if you have the default setup in IB), and you need to test tableColumn (and possibly tableColumn.identifier). ('tableColumn == nil' means that you're being asked for a group-row view. Otherwise you're being asked for a per-column view.) _______________________________________________ Cocoa-dev mailing list (Cocoa-dev@lists.apple.com) Please do not post admin requests or moderator comments to the list.
