I think this isn't working either. Let me post the relevant code and see if you notice anything off the bat.

- (NSCell *)tableView:(NSTableView *)sender dataCellForTableColumn: (NSTableColumn *)tableColumn row:(NSInteger)row {

//cut: judge column and row...

NSPopUpButtonCell *cell = [[NSPopUpButtonCell alloc] initTextCell:@"" pullsDown:YES];
[cell removeAllItems];
[cell addItemsWithTitles:[self listForColumn:tableColumn row:row]];
//[cell setObjectValue:[NSNumber numberWithInt:15]]; (adding in this line appears to have no effect)

return cell;


	//cut...

}

- (id)tableView:(NSTableView *)sender objectValueForTableColumn: (NSTableColumn *)tableColumn row:(NSInteger)row {

//cut: judge row and column...


//find the index of a string in the list of strings for this particular row (which should be the popup cell's menu for this row)
int index = [[self listForColumn:tableColumn row:row] indexOfObject: [model objectForEntry:currentEntry handler:row]];
NSLog(@"row %d --- %d", row, index); //reports correct

return [NSNumber numberWithInt:index];


	//cut...

}

Adding the line in the first method that should set it's object value doesn't appear to do anything. Index 0 is still selected.

Maybe I'm missing what you mean here, but if I do that, then what should I do in the objectValueFor... method?

Yes, but according to that message you *didn't* set the correct selection index in #1. I really think that's what you need to do.

The objectValue... method should return the index of the selected menu item, because that's what the value is for that column.


I'm going to change my earlier answer on the other part.

When you don't implement tableView:datCellForTableColumn:row:, the table view obviously has to set the object value of the (shared) cell it knows about for each row, and it would do that by calling the objectValue... data source method *after* it has found the cell to use. My *expectation* would be that it'd do the same thing for the result of dataCell..., but the documentation doesn't say anything about that one way or the other.

So I would still try having dataCell... retrieve the selected menu item index (possibly by calling objectValue... directly) and see if setting it solves the problem. If so, then answer is apparently that dataCell... is required to set up the desired object value. If not, this is a false trail.
