Hi,
I have an "Enter Value" group of outlets that I quite use everywhere in my
interface. This group is composed by:
1) A custom NSTextView
2) A custom NSButtom I use as slider (with a custom image)
3) A NSStepper
Now I have to put this group of outlets into a cell of my NSTableView, and
of course I don't want to lose the behaviour of each object's subclass.
I checked the Apple sample code "ClockControl".
In order to have such a "model" of my custom cell, in IB, I created a NSView
containing this group of outlets. This will be the look of my cell.
Then, in XCode, I subclassed an NSActionCell and assigned it to the column
of my tableView. Later, according to the frames of the outlets in that
"model" NSView, I drew each single outlet's cell within the cell's method
drawWithFrame:
It worked well. But, of course, those outlets are just images drawn within
the "cell". They are not clickable and, most of all, they have not the
behaviour of my custom class objects.
So I have been working for 2 days with "trackMouse" tracking any outlets
frame, detecting the mouse click and drag, but I cannot yet call the custom
class object's methods when e.g. I drag my slider.
For example my slider responds to the method mouseDragged. But if I call
[mySlider mouseDragged:theEvent];
from within the "trackMouse" method, I get a loop and the application
freezes. How to solve this problem? Any idea?
Why IB doesn't let the developer customizes his tableView row with e.g a
custom NSView containing whathever? Look at FileMaker, you just put fields,
images, check-boxes, lines... into the row body and you are done!
Best Regards
