There isn't zero documentation; 95% of the functionality comes from NSTableView, which is well documented. The outline view methods are really just cover methods for the NSTableView ones. But like I said, please log a bug requesting it be documented. Your specific case here would be to document the view based outline view delegate methods. But to be fair, the header is fairly verbose (well, terse in the case for those methods...because they are just cover methods as I said). corbin _______________________________________________ Cocoa-dev mailing list (Cocoa-dev@lists.apple.com) Please do not post admin requests or moderator comments to the list.
