Hi, me again. I'm going to ask endless "obvious" questions, hoping
everyone's patience will hold and hoping that others are reading who
are wondering the same things.
I want to be able to select specific cells in my browser
programatically, specifically when a new record has been added to the
data graph. So:
- I have added a new base object in a file structure/hierarchy -- the
objects are recursive: ie: a myRecord has an array of myRecords
- depending on where in the graph I have added the object, I need to
reload the column that the object will fit into and then select the
newest object's cell
- I have Browser -selectedCell to tell me where I am when the user adds
a new myRecord
- I now want to update the column that had the newest myRecord added
and select the record. I know I need to use -selectCell, but it's
determining the cell with the latest added record that is tripping me
up. It's easy to figure out what the title of the latest cell is - same
as the title of the latest myRecord.
The questions are:
-- even though I have NSBrowser -selectedCell, how do I determine what
my current column is? NSCell doesn't have a -column method as far as I
can tell
-- if I can figure out which column needs to be reloaded, how would I
figure out where in the column my newest cell/object resides? I can't
just assume it's the last, latest cell, because I'll be implementing a
sorting procedure on newly added records, so the latest won't
necessarily be at the bottom. I figure if I can somehow cycle all the
cells and compare: their titles to the title of myRecord, I should have
my cell and should be able to send it to -selectedCell. The question
is: how? Can't see it in documentation, although I'm sure I'm just
missing it?
Once again, any help would surely be appreciated. TIA.
