Hi,
I am working on an app that requires that the number of table columns
in a
table view be determined at run time.
My first solution was to create the table view with no columns and
then add
the columns at the appropriate time.
The problem with this approach is that the column headers lose their
Aqua
look.
Hmm, I've got code that creates NSTableColumns from scratch, and I
haven't experienced this problem. Could you post the code that you use
to create the table columns?
If you type an integer in for the column identifier, how can you
retrieve the column?
You can use any object as a column identifier, but Interface Builder
will only let you specify a string as a column's identifier. So, when
you type in a number, you're actually giving it a string identifier,
@"1". If you want to be able to use other types of objects for
identifiers using IB, go ahead and file a feature request for Interface
Builder on the bug reporter, but for now you're going to have to either
set NSNumber identifiers in code or use NSStrings instead. NSNumber
does have a stringValue method that you can use to get an appropriate
string for a given number, so you could go that direction as well - it
basically depends on which way you feel is less ugly. :)
