Subject: Overriding the new inter-cell navigation of NSTableView
Hi!
In my app I need to be able to have the return, enter or down arrow
key
give focus to the cell that is under the current one and begin
editing,
to edit sequentially the same attribute of multiple objects.
What is the best way of doing this?
Thanks,
Flofl.
I found that the keyDown: + interpretKeyEvents method wouldn't work
with the NSTextFieldCell so I ended up overriding endEditing: (tv is
an outlet to the parent tableView of the cell):
- (void)endEditing:(NSText *)textObj {
int editedRow = [tv editedRow];
int editedColumn = [tv editedColumn];
int numberOfRows = [tv numberOfRows];
editedRow ++;
editedRow = (editedRow == numberOfRows ? 0 : editedRow); //
Selects the first row when the las one is reached.
[super endEditing:textObj];
// Select the row (needed to avoid an exception to be raised).
[tv selectRow:editedRow byExtendingSelection:NO];
It works, but is it the best way? It looks more like a workaround than
like the regular way of customizing "the tab-loop behavior"... And
what if I want to take different actions according to the key that
ended the editing?
