Hi,

If it's a gradient selection such as the ones in
iTunes, Mail etc that you're after, I posted an
NSOutlineView subclass that will do exactly this on
CocoaDev, here:

http://www.cocoadev.com/index.pl?MailStyleGradientSelection

This takes advantage of Andreas Meyer's very cool
NSBezierPath gradient extensions rather than using an
image to draw the gradient, but if you prefer an image
for a pixel-perfect likeness to the i-Apps gradients,
you should be able to modify the code fairly easily.
It also handles forcing a redraw when the outline view
loses focus so that you can draw the grey gradient
instead of the blue one.

Incidentally, you don't need to call -lockFocus and
-unlockFocus in drawing methods, because they assume
that the focus is already locked on the view (see the
docs for -drawRect: - the other drawing methods are
called from within that). Also, you should be using
"self" rather than "outlineView" from within a
subclass...

Hope that helps,
Keith


--- ORIGINAL MESSAGE ---

Thanks for all your help!  However, it is still not
correctly
working.  It is getting inside the
_highlightColorForCell method
after I changed the Custom Class of the NSOutlineView
to
LeftMenuController, although now, the text won't
appear.  If I click
on a row, nothing happens (however, if I change
_highlightColorForCell to return [NSColor redColor],
when I click the
row it turns red, although there is still no text).
It also goes
inside the highlightSelectionInClipRect, although
nothing occurs
since, even if you click a row, the selectedRow is
always -1 (it is,
however, receiving the outlineViewSelectionDidChange
notification,
although [outlineView selectedRow] always returns -1).
 Any help
would be greatly appreciated.  Thanks!
