Well the concept is pretty simple. When an instance of NSResponder
doesn't handle a specific event, it is passed up on the responder
chain. Instead of subclassing NSTableView or NSOutlineView, it is
only necessary to insert a new NSResponder instance in the responder
chain, after the table view or the outline view so that it handles
this case.
Inserting a responder in the responder chain is pretty easy. Once
you have instantiated your responder, simply set it's nextResponder
to the nextResponder of the table view and then set the table view's
next responder to your own responder. And there you go, it has been
inserted in the linked list.
Yes -- but I don't know how that is any easier; this approach still
requires you to subclass. One might as well keep the logic in the same
place (the table view).
Also, Andy said:
It's a lightweight subclass that (at a glance) seems to take the
same approach as you did, but abstracts the behavior into delegate
methods.
I agree; a delegate/datasource abstraction is a good idea, but please,
don't use the names recommended in that posting
(ie:deleteSelectionFromTableView:). Instead, make it specific to your
subclass, ie: myTableView:deleteRows: (etc.). Using the generic
"tableView" name could conflict with NSTableView delegate methods that
may get added in a later version of the OS.
thanks!
