Binding table view custom cell background colour


  • Subject: Binding table view custom cell background colour

Hi, everyone. I'm making a program (a periodic table, to be exact) that requires coloured cells (coloured button cells for the table itself and coloured plain cells for the legend). I have made a subclass of NSButtonCell (which I've placed inside an NSMatrix subclass) for the periodic table itself, and the legend I have decided to put into an NSTableView. The matrix works; the legend, however, is proving troublesome.

The problem is this: I want to avoid really messy code, if possible, and stick with an MVC paradigm, if possible. I'm having trouble wrapping my head around what I would have to do here, so I'm submitting this question to the list in the hopes that anyone else who has a similar problem may also be helped. I am sure that an NSValueTransformer will be used, but beyond that I'm still a bit clueless. To make the question more abstract:

If one wants to make a background colour appear for an NSCell in a table view, but make it unique for each NSCell (so that the first row is red, the second is blue, the third is green, et cetera), what is the best way (with an NSArrayController) to do this?

Cheers,
	Andrew
