Hi All,
I implemented NStableView which contains few "columns" with
NSImageCells , there are huge number of rows ( for the nightmare )
images are requested over the network and hence images are never
readily available.
but part of my framework intimates me whenever an image is
downloaded and i precisely know for which of the rows image has
been downloaded.( so far good ).
I am trying to register an observer in the custom cell class of the
ImageCell I mentioned.
So whenever display is requested on the cell , it checks for the
image in downloads , if it isn't available it draws empty image else
it places an request and waits for the image.
After image is downloaded observer tries to invoke the drawing again.
This way only cells which are actually in "screen display" get
drawn , hence I am supposing there would less traffic and leads to
efficient drawing.
Is this a right practice ? or completely unethical ?
Thanks
Rajesh
Did you try to simply use a table view data source and the built-in
optimization mechanism before trying to do such complex things ?
For example, NSScrollView, and so NSTableView (which are generally
embedded in scrollview) only draw the visible part, and ask data
source only the visible value.
So write a simple data source that returns the image or nothing if it
is not available in the -getValue.... method.
And when you receive an image, just call setNeedDisplayInRect: on your
table view passing the rect of the cell you want to refresh as argument.
