There is an example on your hard drive called DragNDropOutlineView. In that
example, NSTextFieldCell is subclassed and the subclass is displayed in an
NSOutlineView. editWithFrame is overridden and the override is called.
Perhaps looking at that example and comparing it with what you're doing
could be a useful heuristic. m.
