Not sure if this is the only way, but you can implement the delegate
method:
- (NSString *)tableView:(NSTableView *)aTableView toolTipForCell:
(NSCell *)aCell rect:(NSRectPointer)rect tableColumn:(NSTableColumn
*)aTableColumn row:(int)row mouseLocation:(NSPoint)mouseLocation
I decided not to go this route, since it would result in a different
tooltip for every cell. But your suggestion sent me to the
documentation and I found out why I didn't get the results I expected.
It turns out that IB is Working As Intended, in that the tooltip you
set for a column is really a tooltip for just the column header. But
the IB interface is incredibly confusing in its representation of the
geometry that the tooltip applies to (and for the table header subview
too).
In the end, I just subclassed NSTableColumn to make it do what IB
*looked* like it was doing.
Now I'm off to radar the multiple bugs in the tooltip text field in
IB's inspector ...
