The biggest problem I've found is how NSCell works. The table view only uses one NSCell to do its drawing. Rather than having a cell for each row of the table, it has a single cell that is copied and released as appropriate.


This is actually a feature! It makes tables have good performance.

Sorry, yes I realise this is the reason why, it's just not very good purely when you are trying to use a custom view!

Obviously, what you want to do instead is have an instance of your cell for each row of the table. If you're using 10.4 only, a good workaround may be to use the cellForRow: method.


You mean, dataCellForRow:, and it is a method on NSTableColumn that you must subclass and override to return a custom cell.

oops, my bad, should have looked up the docs firs :) (But I'm sure the OP would have found it)

(PS: WWDC plus: i'll be covering this and more in the "Beyond Buttons and Sliders" talk at WWDC)

Now this is something I would love to here a pro talk on, please Apple make this one available after the event - I can't afford to go!
