I do something like this:

So, based on your code, I have written this...
@implementation CustomHighlightTextFieldCell
- (void)drawWithFrame:(NSRect)cellFrame inView:(NSView *)controlView
{
NSColor *evenColor = [NSColor colorWithCalibratedRed:.9 green:0 blue:
0 alpha:1.0];
if ( [self isHighlighted] ) {
[evenColor set];
NSRectFill( cellFrame );
NSColor *oldColor = [self textColor];
[self setTextColor:[NSColor blackColor]];
[super drawWithFrame:cellFrame inView:controlView];
[self setTextColor:oldColor];
}
else {
[super drawWithFrame:cellFrame inView:controlView];
}
}
- (NSColor *)highlightColorWithFrame:(NSRect)cellFrame inView:(NSView
*)controlView
{
return nil;
}
@end
I just want to draw the entire cell with a background color with black
text.
For a selected row, what I get is a cell drawn with the background
color, but white text. I cannot figure out how to get the text drawn
with a black color.
Will I need to replace:
[super drawWithFrame:cellFrame inView:controlView];
with my own code to draw the text?
At this point, actually seeing my specific case might be helpful...
I have placed my project at:
http://ericgorr.net/acc.zip
The application is a (not entirely complete) calculator for the board
game Advanced Civilization ( http://www.boardgamegeek.com/game/177 ).
What it does is keep track of what civ. cards you have purchased
throughout the game and keep track of the current cost of the cards
which you can still purchase. Each row corresponds to one of the civ.
cards.
What I have written, which only uses highlightSelectionInClipRect to
control the highlighting, has nearly all of the highlighting I want.
1. Row, in groups of three, have either a light blue or white
background, if the card has not been purchased (<rant>I _hate_ the
look of the alternating light blue & white...groups of three is
_vastly_ superior</rant>)
2. If a card has been purchased, it's background is yellow.
3. For #1 & #2, the text remains black - my guess as to why this is
the case is that the process of highlighting a selected row changes
the text to white and if a row is not selected, it get the black text
with either the light blue, white or yellow background.
4. When I select a row, it's get the highlight color specified by the
system preference - the default blue highlight color on my machine.
5. There is no space between the columns
6. If two cards have been purchased and are in adjacent rows, there is
no space between the rows, which have been colored yellow.
The only thing I would like to change about how this is working is
when I select a row of a card which has been purchased, I would like
to use a darker yellow color.
....just a usage note...to be able to purchase a card, first enter a
number (like 200) into the 'Trade Cards' field, this will cause the
purchase button to be enabled. Second, select a row, which isn't
grayed out. Third, press the purchase button.
