A color well in a table view?
In my Mac app I have a table view which so far only displays text and numbers. Now I'd like to put color wells in one column (to supply colors for the lines in the diagram) and checkboxes in another (to decide whether each line should be drawn or not). Can I do that? If so, what's the best way to do that? Is it as easy as modifying tableview:objectvaluefortablecolumn:row: to retrieve the color wells from the array and return them to the table view, or are there some hoops I have to jump through?

Unlike most NSControls, there is no NSCell for NSColorWell. But 10.7 did add view-based tableviews, so if you can require 10.7+, that's probably your best bet. I've been meaning to try it myself... -- Sean McBride, B.

Alternatively, you can implement a custom cell; This demo does just that: http://developer.apple.com/library/mac/#samplecode/AnimatedTableView/Introduction/Intro.html corbin ___ Cocoa-dev mailing list (Cocoa-dev@lists.apple.com) Please do not post admin requests or moderator comments to the list.

Re: A color well in a table view?
I found the switch that makes my table view view-based, but then my table view showed some default text instead of the text I return from -tableview:objectvaluefortablecolumn:row: What can I do about that?

I recommend reading the documentation on how to use a View Based NSTableView, and/or look at the TAbleViewPlayround demo to see how it is done. corbin > > Sent from my iPhone > > On 7 Jun 2012, at 16:32, Sean McBride wrote: > >> On Thu, 7 Jun 2012 13:53:49 +0100, H.

Re: A color well in a table view?
Not sure if this would be helpful, but maybe a custom NSCell subclass that acts like a color well? On Jun 7, 2012, at 10:32 AM, Sean McBride wrote: > On Thu, 7 Jun 2012 13:53:49 +0100, H.
