Hi all.

I have got a problem with a table view.

What I want:

A table view which does not highlight rows but allows the user to klick checkboxes in a column of said table view.

Picture:


<tableview.png>

As you can see I already managed to remove the background.

To avoid the rows from highlighting, I tried to implement the - tableView:shouldSelectRow: delegate method and prevent the user from selecting a row. But if I do so, it is no longer possible to change the value of the check box in the first column.


Maybe that's ok; you could check the mouse position to see if it's in the column w/ checkboxes and change the state of the checkboxes yourself.


After some experimentation I found a method that *almost* works. I do overwrite -_highlightColorForCell: and return [[self window] backgroundColor].

This has two drawbacks:

1. _highlightColorForCell: is a private method that I really shouldn't overwrite at all

2. NSTableView's highlighting code seems to assume that a highlighted row is opaque. But I'm using that table view inside a sheet which is slightly transparent. So - depending on the contents of the window below - a highlighted row does still look different from the not highlighted one because it draws its background opaque.

Any solutions, anyone?


Have you tried overriding highlightSelectionInClipRect:?
