Re: reading selectedItem from within dataCellForRow?

My problem is that I want to build the next NSPopUpButtonCell pending
upon the selection of the top NSPopUpButtonCell. So if popupButtonCell
on row 0 has item A selected, then popupButtonCell on row 1 should
only contain and show 2 items (A-B), otherwise, it might list items
A-C.

The thing is a TableView uses a single instance of NSCell to display content in a columns, this instance is set with setDataCell: for example, and it is returned when you call dataCellForRow:r on super (default implementation just returns "dataCell"
Since there is one instance, you can't really modify its structure and expect it to behave differently when it is displayed.


Try to allocate a new Cell and return that instead of calling the column's data cell

This thread has interesting informations too :

I have a class subclassed from NSTableColumn which overrides
dataCellForRow: like what's listed below.

My problem is that I want to build the next NSPopUpButtonCell pending
upon the selection of the top NSPopUpButtonCell. So if popupButtonCell
on row 0 has item A selected, then popupButtonCell on row 1 should
only contain and show 2 items (A-B), otherwise, it might list items
A-C.

But I don't know how to make that decision from within this method
because I can't seem to get a handle on the data from here.

- (id) dataCellForRow:(int) row
{
id textCell = [super dataCellForRow:row];
NSPopUpButtonCell *pubCell;

if (row == 0 || row == 1) {
pubCell = [[NSPopUpButtonCell alloc] init];
[pubCell setBordered:NO];
[pubCell setPullsDown:NO];
[pubCell setFont:[NSFont labelFontOfSize:[NSFont smallSystemFontSize]]];
[pubCell setControlSize:NSMiniControlSize];
[pubCell setAlignment:NSLeftTextAlignment];
[pubCell setEditable:YES];
}


	if (row == 0) {
		[pubCell addItemWithTitle:@"selection A"];
		[pubCell addItemWithTitle:@"selection B"];
	}
	else if (row == 1) {
		// if "selection A" in row 0 has A selected, then I list 2 items.
		[pubCell addItemWithTitle:@"selection A"];
		[pubCell addItemWithTitle:@"selection B"];

		// otherwise, I might list all 3 items if I could see
             // what is selected from here.
		[pubCell addItemWithTitle:@"selection C"];
	}
	else if (row == 2) {
		[textCell setEditable:NO];
		[textCell setTextColor:[NSColor blackColor]];
	}

	if (row == 0 || row == 1) {
		// these rows are popupButtonCell's
		return pubCell;
	}

	// all other rows are NSTextFieldCell's
	return textCell;
}
