As yet another way to do this, you can subclass the NSTableView and override drawRow: clipRect:

Here's my code to give a background color to expandable rows in an outline view (like in Mail.app).


// Override to draw expandable rows with background color.
- (void)drawRow:(int)rowIndex clipRect:(NSRect)clipRect
{
id item = [self itemAtRow:rowIndex];

if ([self isExpandable:item] && [self selectedRow] != [self rowForItem:item])
{
NSRect cellRect = [self rectOfRow:rowIndex];
[[NSColor colorWithCalibratedHue:216./360. saturation:0.16 brightness:0.95 alpha:1.] set];
[NSBezierPath fillRect:cellRect];

[[NSColor gridColor] set];
NSBezierPath* outline = [NSBezierPath bezierPath];
NSPoint point = NSMakePoint(cellRect.origin.x, cellRect.origin.y);
[outline moveToPoint:point];
point.x += cellRect.size.width;
[outline lineToPoint:point];
[outline setLineWidth:1.];
[outline stroke];
}

[super drawRow:rowIndex clipRect:clipRect];
}

Hi,

When selecting a row in a NSTableView, the default highliting (white text on blue background) doesn't work if the text is not black. Is there a setting somewhere (in IB) or a method to implement/override to fix that? I have a column's cell with its foreground color set to gray and it's almost unreadable when the row is selected. I could make my own NSTextFieldCell subclass and override - isHighlited but would prefer not to.

Thanks,

Andre Masse
