Hey guys,
I have been asking a few questions around NSCollectionView and
NSTableView before. While I did get some of it working just fine, I've
also run into one or the other problem. So I thought I take a step
back and ask for some more general feedback. So I thought I just
explain what I want to implement and I hope I get pointed into the
right direction.
So in core data I have a list of objects. The model is roughly like
this:
Action {
NSString *Text;
NSDate *Date;
NSString *Other;
}
This model is bound to a NSArrayController. Now I want to create an UI
to show and edit a set of these objects. A NSTableView or
NSCollectionView come to mind. But the object visualization has some
constraints. The length of the "Text" attribute can be quite
different. Which means the visualization of some of the "Action"
objects requires a different height of the rows. Essentially the
NSTextField should resize accordingly. Also the normal table column
view of the attributes is not really good enough for this application.
It should be more like a custom view.
Now IIUC having different heights is a problem at least for a
NSCollectionView. Would that be possible with a NSTableView by writing
my own NSTableCell? Or would it be better to go for a custom view
(NSScrollView?) that I'll connect to the NSArrayController that knows
how to draw the "Action" objects?
How would you guys tackle something like that? I couldn't really think
of any open source project (or example) to look at how it's done.
Any pointers?
cheers
