I have a UI that is designed to break down a huge collection of items into a manageable subset that the user can work with at a time. Each item effectively has a sort of "path", that describes its hierarchy, not in terms of its location on disk, which is irrelevant, but its place in the whole big collection of objects which is vaguely analogous to a file path.
I was looking at NSPathControl as a way to neatly show which item was selected including its hierarchical information, but quickly realised that this control is very strongly tied to NSURLs as a specific form of path and was not designed to be readily abstracted. So is using NSPathControl even possible for this, or would I just be better off writing a complete new control from scratch? NSPathControl does some neat things like fading overlong text within a subcell that I could use, as well as displaying an icon and a triangle for the next item. What about subclassing the subcell? I guess I'm just looking for some direction here or even better, some code out there I can use. thanks for any help, --Graham _______________________________________________ Cocoa-dev mailing list (Cocoa-dev@lists.apple.com) Please do not post admin requests or moderator comments to the list.
