Are you sure you want the cell object to perform some task, or do
you need another object to respond to the mouse click? It appears a
lot of you out there are getting confused between intercepting mouse
clicks, which typically is rarely needed, and having the mouse click
send an action, as when clicking a button or even a cell.
I made the same observation as you, while lurking on this list -
there has been a recurring thread on this issue - I'm just wondering
if the reason for this is because TableView's are being used as the
basis for some of the game editors people have also mentioned on this
list?
For custom drawing in the cell, wouldn't receiving the mouse events
directly be necessary?
As a relative newcomer to Obj-C/OSX controls, I'm quite curious about
subclassing NSCell's for custom GUI elements (-*).
If I'm using NSCell's as the basis for new custom controls which are
inherently, 'griddable' controls, wouldn't it be better to get the
events directly, rather than going through the whole Action chain?
(*- if anyone has any pointers to custom control code, projects,
articles, or books, which detail ways to make standard custom GUI
controls using Aqua, please post details. I ditched a *lot* of
custom controls in my old Delphi work, I'd like to get up to speed on
how its done under ObjC/OSX as quickly as possible...)
