I've created and I'm displaying a custom NSTableRowView but I'm having trouble settings its background color.
I tried setting it in the init'r but it is getting overwritten. I can intercept the calls to [NSTableRowView setBackgroundColor:] and override the color but before doing that, I'd like to better understand why the color is being set by something else ... and then maybe work within that architecture. With a breakpoint in [NSTableRowView setBackgroundColor:], the stack trace shows me that if I programmatically invoke: [NSTableView setRowSizeStyle:], then [NSTableRowData _setBackgroundColorForRowView:] fires on my custom row view with a color I didn't control. Additonally, when I programmatically invoke [NSOutlineView expandItem:], then [NSTableRowData _setBackgroundColorForRowView:] again fires with a color I didn't set. The background color doesn't get set when I manually expand rows. I'm not sure what other methods secretly reset this background color -- but is there an appropriate way to have the "private" NSTableRowData" invocations set the correct colors? As I mentioned, I can obviously implement setBackgroundColor on the custom table row - but I'm not sure I understand all the possible states I should account for. expanding? selected? etc ... it feels a little heavy handed. For what its worth, setting the color as part of the NSOutlineView delegate's didAddRowView: seems to stick - but since this is a custom row, I prefer to encapsulate the color management in the custom NSTableRowView class itself. Maybe I'm thinking wrong ... Is there an established convention around this? -Luther _______________________________________________ Cocoa-dev mailing list (Cocoa-dev@lists.apple.com) Please do not post admin requests or moderator comments to the list.
