That is mostly right. if you have more than one column, you select one of the table column objects in the outline and set it’s identifier in the identity inspector. If you only have one column, you can just use the automatic one. Also, you can set an identifier for the cell to access it from the

Thanks. So as long as I have only one instance of NewCell (or whatever I call it) in the storyboard, Xcode will automatically find it, right? Is the column.identifier important? Well, I know it's important, but how does the string it contains relate to the type of cell? I'll have a guess: the cl

Nstty, I think Alex was wondering where the identifier for the column is set which appears to be a string So if column 2 is identified as "Expenses" how does one associate the column with the identifier of "Expenses", so it can be used in the code he pprovided. . Jonathan Cohn > On Aug 30,

If you are using a custom class, you set the class of the tableCellView in IB in the identity inspector. To find it in the outline, expand the tableview and then the table column. After you design the cellView by adding elements and laying them out, you will need to connect them to outlets in y

It can be, or you can use one of the pre-configured cells Apple provides. The part I'm stuck on is how to tell Xcode that the cell I made--subclass or default--is the one I want it to use to populate my table. There's a method for it, and clearly I'm supposed to give it a string (as column.ident

Don't ask me how, but I think I have it working. My raining question is: how do you create, then use, a custom cell view? I'm using the default one now, which is just a text field, and that's all I need for the moment. In general, though, how would I go about making a custom cell view and then u

One more update. I tried connecting my outlet, not to the table inside my view, but to the table in the clip view in the table in the view… If that makes sense. :) It suddenly started working, and now I have a table with two rows, just as my model specifies. The only problem is that these rows a

Hi Alex, Just to clarify, can you answer thee following: 1-are you using a custom NStableCell to populate your NSTableView, and how are you calling NSTableViewCell through your delegate protocol? 2-Are you using a subclass of NSTableView or are you using the .nib reference for your custom cell?

Quick update. I changed the class of my outlet to NSScrollView, and things connected straight away. I changed it back to NSTableView, and the connection persisted. I'm now seeing a blank window (save the usual Close and Minimize buttons) in my app, with no sign of the text field and table I've a
