Hi all,

I was searching through the archives for the last hour but couldn't find anything, so let me ask you:

how can I implement single-click (or delayed double-click) editing like the one in iTunes?
does anyone have some code example?

I assume you're talking about single-click editing of text cells in an NSTableView. I wanted to do that a while ago, and the method I came up with was to make a custom subclass of NSTableView which overrides mouseDown:


- (void)mouseDown:(NSEvent *)event
{
NSPoint location = [self convertPoint:[event locationInWindow] fromView:nil];
int columnIndex = [self columnAtPoint:location];
int rowIndex = [self rowAtPoint:location];
if ((rowIndex >= 0) && ([[[[self tableColumns] objectAtIndex:columnIndex] dataCellForRow:rowIndex] isKindOfClass:[NSTextFieldCell class]])) {
[self selectRow:rowIndex byExtendingSelection:NO];
[self editColumn:columnIndex row:rowIndex withEvent:event select:YES];
} else [super mouseDown:event];
}


It's not exactly the same interface as iTunes, but it should be easy to adapt this code to your needs.
Note, however, that I wrote this code for my first or second Cocoa program ever and never touched it again; it could well be that there are better ways to do the same thing.
