I can't make this work. I've created a subclass of NSScrollView that
overrides -acceptsFirstMouse:, and I've made my subclass the scrollview's
"custom class" using IB. But my subclass's -initWithFrame: and
-acceptsFirstMouse: methods are never called (unless I call the latter
explicitly with an NSLog call on the table view's superview's superview (to
get past the intervening clip view).
Is there some trick to making a table's scrollview use a subclass?
I see that Lorenzo posted the same question a couple of weeks ago about
NSOutlineView and got no response. Ditto for Simon Berneche almost a year
ago. Joe Ante claimed 4 years ago that it works for table views.
(Inevitably, somebody will ask why I want to be able to select a table row
while the app remains in the background (or tell me that I shouldn't do
that), so here's the answer. This if for PreFab UI Browser 2.0. It's a
utility that needs to be able to navigate the accessibility hierarchy of
menus, palettes and other items in a target app that are automatically
hidden if another app (such as UI Browser) comes to the front.)
