Right, but I was suggesting you might like to.

I don't see what you're bleh-ing. You say you have an NSMatrix subclass, so
you can draw what you like. If you want to put an indicator around the
selected cell, put it - you're already getting highlightCell and drawCell
calls, after all.
There's a logical disconnect here. At first you seem to be complaining at
the notion that you might have to write *any* code, then you suddenly jump
to the idea of writing a custom view, which would mean writing a *lot* of
code. m.
