I have an NSTableView subclass whose only override method is rightMouseDown. I override it so I can have it select the table row before validating and presenting the context menu (by then passing it up to [super rightMouseDown]).

This works nicely but I have found that it does not work for control clicks. For a another view item I overrode mouseDown to check for the control key and call [self rightMouseDown] if needed.

For NSTableView I can catch rightMouseDown but I can't seem to catch mouseDown. When I control click a row the context men comes up over a non-selected item which, ironically enough, gives me an out-of- context menu.

How can I get control clicks on my NSTableView ?

Wow, I *just* did this yesterday. Well, something very close, anyway. The solution I went with was implementing menuForEvent in my table view subclass, and using


int row = [self rowAtPoint:[self convertPoint:[event locationInWindow] fromView:nil]];

to figure out which row the click was on, and then force that row to be selected (in my case, the menu was coming up for a row that was not selected, and if there was no row selected at all in the menu, the following logic barfed).

At the end, I just return [self menu], returning the menu that was already wired up in the nib.

HTH.
