Re: Line Numbers in Tables

I'm not sure if follow this. How so? The listindex is just a property of the model object, to which binding is 'legal' afaik.

Your data could be in one view sorted ascending, at which object at 1 is 1, and in a second view sorted descending, where object at 1 is n.

Yes, that's true. What I showed is actually not simple line numbers, but the order of the objects in the array. In my app those two happen to always be in sync, since sorting the table view sorts the master array. But if sorting a table view doesn't sort the underlying master array then, even if you have only one table view, this technique won't show the result's you're after. Apologies for the mixup and lack of clarity.


The following however will show proper line numbers:

1. Create an NSTableView subclass:

@interface ANLineNumberTableView : NSTableView {
	unsigned _lineNumber;
}

- (unsigned)lineNumber;

@end

@implementation ANLineNumberTableView

- (unsigned)lineNumber
{
unsigned result = ++_lineNumber; // increment each time we are asked, which is once per row
if (_lineNumber == [self numberOfRows]) // when at the last row we ned to reset the line number
_lineNumber = 0;
return result;
}


@end

2. Bind the desired table view's column to its table view's lineNumber property.

I created a little test project and it works a treat. The project also shows how to sort numbers in strings numerically (rather then alphabetically). To find the project take a break here: http:// web.mac.com/antonionunes/

If this latest code still is offensive do let me know. :-)
