I would liek to present a user with a set of items which is variable in length (and can be pretty large, as in 20-30) to be selected or deselected.

The natural approach would be to use an NSTableView for this,

Right.

but the behaviour of NSTableView is that if one item is selected, all the others are deselected (including ones that are out of sight)

Right.

which can be very confusing for the users.

Hm? This is standard behaviour for any table view. So why would it be confusing?

1. Make every click on a NSTableView row behave like a Command-click.

Now, *THAT* would be confusing!

2. Put checkboxes in the first column of a table view and let those react to the clicks by changing status.

Um. A checkbox that changes status when the row is clicked is somewhat confusing too, IMHO.

So, is there someone who can tell me how to implement either of the two?

I really don't think you should implement either 'solution'.

But maybe I don't understand what you are trying to do at all. So what are you going to put inside that table view and what is the user supposed to be able to do with it?


bye. Andreas.
