Hello,

I have a strong need for a widget that is similar to NSTableView with the following peculiarities: certain cells, based on a delegate call or datasource call, should be selectable or not. There will be no editing of the text.

But I don't need some of the stuff NSTableView provides:

1. I don't need column headers, resizable columns, drag and drop, etc.
2. I don't need row selection
3. I don't need multiple selection

So, I started looking into using NSMatrix to do the job, since it has all of what I need except.... All the cells have to be
identically sized...

::sigh::

Thus, the questions:

A) Does anyone already have this type of thing already done and are willing to share under a reasonable license?
B) If not, would I be better off subclassing NSTableView, NSMatrix or just writing the whole thing from the ground up?

P.S. - This is for a move list in a chess game; you click on the move and board updates to the position after that move was made. So, it makes no sense to click on the move number column (e.g., "2. "), and it makes no sense to have multiple selections, etc. Knowing this, if one could suggest a better UI for this type of functionality, I'm open.

Thanks,
Rick
