There is a disconnect. But it is due to not knowing how to draw the
selection indicator, not from not wanting to write any code. Cocoa is
still new so I'm a little lost and haven't found a good reference for
doing what I want with NSMatrix. I can sort of do it by changing the
frame style on the image, but it doesn't look that great and causes
the image to shrink a little to allow for the new frame border. I
think it is just frustration with myself and finding lots of close
examples that do the matrix with imagecell but not the selection
indicator. Sorry for the despair, just need some direction.
Thanks,
David

Right, but I was suggesting you might like to.

I don't see what you're bleh-ing. You say you have an NSMatrix subclass, so
you can draw what you like. If you want to put an indicator around the
selected cell, put it - you're already getting highlightCell and drawCell
calls, after all.
There's a logical disconnect here. At first you seem to be complaining at
the notion that you might have to write *any* code, then you suddenly jump
to the idea of writing a custom view, which would mean writing a *lot* of
code. m.
